This sucks, they are trying to write my car off. I just got this email.
Hi Joel
Your vehicle will be a total loss and the adjuster should be contacting you soon.
Thanx

Re: My Car Got Hit By a Semi
I just bought a Regal LS, great cars i might add. I am extremely sorry for your loss, if it is a lost....the noise you are describing from the rear of the vehicle is most likely the track bar bent and the toe/camber adjuster bar also bent.

That sucks, but you don't know what that may have messed up in the suspension so maybe its a good thing. I would be lookin for a new RegalSlayer636 wrote:This sucks, they are trying to write my car off. I just got this email.

Re: My Car Got Hit By a Semi
yeah, It sounds like a total loss to me as well. Looking at the damage to the area of the rear wheel well is where a lot of money would be spent, cause that would most likely be cut out and replaced since it would be very hard to fix it.
As for it being totaled, you'll want to try and find similar cars in your area with similar miles to get pricing for it so you know what to use for replacement cost, since you can negotiate the final settlement, especially if it is below the actual prices for vehicles in your area. Also, don't forget to get compensated for your hassle of being without a car, and any injuries you may have suffered (no matter how minor, get them checked out)
And remember, you can try to buy the car back as well, granted it'll have a salvage title, but you could then have it fixed yourself (probably for a lot less) and still have the car. Selling it again may be an issue. You could also part it out and make some money if that's an option (or sell it to Ed Morad)

Re: My Car Got Hit By a Semi

Re: My Car Got Hit By a Semi
As JF mentioned, the rear wheel area is probably the costliest.
Make sure you get full cost for the car + full cost for any aftermarket parts, or are able to take them off.
