My 16 year old daughter was driving my 2000 GTP today to just go to the store and get some stuff to make brownies.... Anyway, on her way home, she clipped a parked truck and REALLY messed up the GTP. (Luckily my daughter was fine.)
The control arm on the front passenger wheel literally is ripped away from the body, tranny fluid is leaking, tire and wheel are shot, front bumper, hood, front quarter, front door, mirror, window, body skirts, headlight... all trashed.
And who knows what else is wrong.
My guess is that they are going to total the car on Monday after the body shop looks at it. And the car only has 74,661 miles (yeah, I looked) on it. Lightly modded, just replaced a bunch of items like 3 (as luck would have it) wheel bearings in 2 months, just did the tranny drain, new (my most expensive I've ever bought too) tires, just aligned...
There is NO way that I will get out of the insurance company what the car is worth to me or to replace, even without the mods. I mean, they just see an 11 year old car, but how about an 11 year old, well maintained, full size 4 door with heated leather, sunroof, a nice color, nice options, with very low miles and not abused. I'll be lucky to get a crappy little car for what they will give me.
Maybe I'll get lucky and they will fix it up, but I am doubting it. A sad day indeed.![]()
