This is why we can't have nice things.

[Carl H]

Had it for a little over a month. And someone backs into our baby.

 

[powerboatr]

that sucks four ways from sunday...skid marks, boy they really nailed you.
did they leave a note or just drive off like nobody noticed

 

[Carl H]

Some old lady in a Subaru... Got a report for it. Wife was in the grocery store when it happened.

 

[sjwelds]

OOPS. sucky deal no doubt!!

 

[powerboatr]

dammmmmm she must have been gunning for the expy.

 

[iimagine]

Yikes, did she get a running start? Sorry it happened, glad it wasn't a hit and run.

 

[JExpedition07]

Whoa. that’s awful sorry man..... looks like she shattered her whole rear window.

 

[Carl H]

Yeah. That Subaru is hurt real bad

 

[ExpeditionAndy]

That SUCKS! I'm sorry to see that.

The 2nd day I had my 17 someone ran a red light, just as the lights were changing. I had just started to pull away from the light and had to slam on the brakes. I stopped inches from her door and she kept going. If I had hit her it would have taken out the bumper, grille and head and fog lights and part of the hood. It scared the hell out of me.

When I park anywhere I park all the way out in the cheap spots away from everybody.

 

[Carl H]

I tried to tell the wife to park far away but when it's below freezing.... It's a hard sell

I know what you mean. My used to park her 14 year old Mercedes in the back of the lot, so that isn't a problem. Now she has a new Escape Titanium and continues to park away from everyone.

 

[Adieu]

Damn... cuz it's such a small, hard to see lil compact car.


I mean cmon how the hell do you tbone an Expy and not notice???

 

[Carl H]

So I'm bringing to a couple shops tomorrow, b pillar is shoved in at least 2". Thoughts on it being totalled? Both doors are toast, fender is shifted. Several interior parts are broken. Floor pan is folded in half in spots or flattened completely.

Not sure if it'll be totalled or not but I personally would unload it If they do repair it. Once you see major structural damage cars never seem to be the same after. Good luck!

 

[mossback]

Oh man... Hate to see that and sorry you're stuck dealing with it- such a pain in the ass

If the frame was bent at all they will almost certainly total it.

I've only made two payments, being upside down this early sucks with a wreck like this.

Do you have any gap insurance?

 

[Carl H]

No. But we got a screaming deal on it, so it may work out.

 

[jeff kushner]

Always a sad moment...we pray, then fix and go on...glad no one hurt!

LOL

Not having gap insurance sucks. I remember my buddy bought a new 2500 chevy HD a few years back and his wife totaled it. The truck just had it’s first oil change the week previous yet the insurance payed him about half the trucks value and he was liable to pay the entire test of the loan on the vehicle immediately as the creditor said the contract becomes nullifies upon being totaled.


Just be careful because if ford is similar you they may want the entire Loan payed up now.... Some creditors write in the contract if you total the vehicle you are responsible to pay your debt in full immediately.
