P5 Might Be Written Off!

[lanny709]

So I'm out around yesterday headed over to pick up the lady and heading through a green light when BAM!, some guy decides to run his red light and hit my passenger side. Luckily no one else was in the car at the time and I swerved to try and avoid him but he still caught the rear end of the car. Rear pass wheel was kicked off on a skew, quarter panel and rear door were pretty beat up. I don't have any pictures at the moment as my baby is locked up at the tow company's yard waiting to be looked at by the insurance company :( Can't believe this happened! So, now I've got this POS rental (Nissan Versa=worst gas mileage ever) I just want some Midnight Blue sexiness back right NOW! Pray for her please :(

[pfiver]

i feel you brother......i will say a prayer

[maniac_2oo4]

:( good luck, let us know how it goes.

[MazdaSpeeder]

[lanny709]

[CTt3P5]

New Year = new curse??? Maybe I should park the P5 for awhile. (nervous)

[lanny709]

[Diehonda]

Hope it all works out. That sucks!

[TieNN89]

i hope everything works out

[lanny709]

I hoping to be able to get in and take some of my things out of the car today sometime, hopefully! I'll take to pics then. Still haven't found out if it's written off :(

[Donas64]

When my P5 was down, I had a versa for a rental. I HATED IT! Hope you get your P5 back soon.

[bazooka joe]

[bgibb68]

sorry to hear about your accident man! nothing could be worse that a cobalt!

edit: what's the news son on the p5??

[Flash5]

sorry to hear it :(

I actually had a 3 for my rental & wanted the P5 back before I got too attached to the 3. lol. Hope she no total 4 you but.......take the insurance payoff & buy it back cheap & fix it yourself - short of too much frame damage tho cuz it'll be hard to make right.

if the frame is even tweaked don't do it....just take the money and buy one of the msp's for sale on here....

I would love to do that but I can't say dad would be all for it as it is under his name haha. He's one of those that are completely against internet purchases, thinks everyone is out to scam you hahaha. AND I live in Newfoundland so I would be a tough job to get one of them here haha

[i12drivemyMP5]

if the frame is even tweaked don't do it....just take the money and buy one of the msp's for sale on here....I did say "short of too much frame damage". I meant "any". Correct, if any frame damage, move on.

[lanny709]

let's just hope it doesn't come to that hahaha

[i12drivemyMP5]

But if it does then you may want to consider what it would cost to buy back & how much you could make on here parting it out. Could actually make money perhaps.

[lanny709]

true, true. Hopefully I find out something today. I'll keep you guys updated, no worries :)

[lanny709]

GD nothing today! Why are these people so slack?

[i12drivemyMP5]

They're slack because they're holdin up your shit. Heaven forbid you hold up anybody else's shit then your a worthless lame useless bitch with a late fee attached but no, just standard operating procedure for them. The key is to let them know they suck because they don't think they do.....after you get what you need out of them of course.

(bow)forgive me masta BAH(drinks)

[bgibb68]

HAHAHA ok tried your idea without first reading this. Great minds think alike!
CAR IS NOT WRITTEN OFF!!!! :D :D :D She will be in the body shop come monday as they had to order in a few parts. I'm gonna go by the shop tonight to see if i can snap a few shots so we can have some before and after pics :)

[lanny709]

Here's a few shots I took just a half hour ago down at the body shop. The owner said he is storing it in their garage until monday when the parts come in as there some expensive equipment in it haha :)

[bgibb68]

damn....that's purdy....at least they will be replacing some rusty parts

[i12drivemyMP5]

Quarter panel repair, new door, new strut, replace bent control arms, 4 wheel alignment & paint then drive more.

haha yea and I didn't think it was very rusty. Those pictures make me think otherwise.

sounds about right to me haha I'll be sure to snap some shots when she's all done :) and I'm gonna be so picky too haha .. any little rattle better damn well be fixed. When you spend the money for all kinds of dyno matting there sure as hell better not be any rattles lol

[pfiver]

way to go man, just finding out that its not written off is a big sigh of relief lols.
i've never had to experience something that serious (and i hope i never will) but it does suck when you don't have you're own car to drive.

[pfiver]

oh also make sure you check the power window motor. my neighbor backed into the front driver side of my car about a month ago and unfortunately i forgot to tell my body guy to replace the motor and now every so often it rolls the window up very very slowly
