I saw a couple of these threads near the top of the forum, figured I might as well add mine too. Car was a 2008 Mz5 Grand Touring, bought new off the lot for my wife when she was pregnant with our first kid. We are at three now. TBH, it was getting a bit cramped, but it was paid off! In the last year I have replaced the transmission ($3,500) and all rear suspension components, along with a Koni FSD kit ($1,200 total). I was this guy here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/show...t-follow-along-quot-Mazda5-Suspension-upgrade
Wife somehow lost control coming around a corner in a drizzle. She drives the same road every single day as do 1000s of other cars. I have no idea what might have happened. She said there was a dip in the road and it caused her to spin out across the oncoming lane and into an embankment...no idea. Good thing is that she is OK, no injuries, no airbag deployment, she'd already dropped the kids off to school, and the oncoming cars were far enough away to not hit her. Car is a "total loss".
Insurance is running comps against Sports and Sport tourings, 5-speeds etc. There's only two GTs within a 300 mile radius. I need to provide them all my receipts to get their value of the car increased, so this should be...fun.
