my TACO got into an accident :(

ouch.. looks like hood, suspension, fender, bumper cover.. headlight.. and possible frame damage.. cant see interior/frame issues/alignment. sucks man.....

 

ouch! what year was your car? miles? and what did the insurance pay out if you dont mind me asking.

 

No worries, 2017 model, 64270 miles on it (Navigation but not the JBL system), OR 4x4. Insurance payout was $25186...but I had car replacement assistance on it, that got me another $5400. I also got sales tax of $1800, and about $400 in additional fees. Total payout was close to $33,000.
But...reading that...key in on the $25186. That was the "base value" they gave on the truck. I wasn't happy, but that was higher than the $23000-ish they started at. I was actually insulted with their first offer.

 

well...corndog lady

 

Lol close. Not as close as corndog lady, but close.

 

just wondering but did u have lane keep assist on ? I would let the insurance company deal with it but don't let them put cheap aftermarket stuff on . You pay a premium for your car insurance . Best of luck .

 

And you are admitting fault in a public forum. Brilliant.

Who did you hit?

 

Yep. I have USAA. At-fault party had State Farm. I did the entire claim through USAA though, just made things easier and knew I had a direct connection when needed.

 

yeah, am i going to lie? my mom raised me better than that.

 

My Focus RS was rear ended in December, over $17k in damage and they wouldn't total it :\ Your insurance will probably try and source used OEM parts first. That's what mine did.

 

just talked to them.. they said i have the option to use oem or aftermarket. i told them oem for everything. Well besides the aftermarket items i have on there. the baja fogs and the cali lightbar/brackets held up good. just a scuff. crossing my fingers on the icons.

 

Glad you’re ok

 

Glad you’re safe, bro!

 

Damn that fender just crumple up like nothing! the hood looks great! glad you're safe! I used to work graveyard shit was rough 10-6am..

 

They say driving drowsy is worse than drinking and driving. Your very lucky indeed!

 

I worked swing shifts for 10 years as a younger man, rumble strips were a godsend! I feel asleep one time and woke up half way down an exit ramp. Scared the crap out of me, but I was lucky and was able to drive through the intersection and get back on the interstate. I was wired for the rest of the trip home after that! Glad you are okay, midnights are no fun!

 

This was $32k worth of damage and USAA refused to total it out

 

RIP dude, that sucks

 

Amen.
