the build ends

[Gensaiken]

its too bad to see another one go down. Lots of good parts left to buy back.

 

Lucky your seat belt didn't snap. Supposedly that's a big problem with cars these old. :(

 

 

This kind of situation is the very reason why my car has seen the road only twice this year.

[DISLEXICDIME]

Don't worry Phil we will build it better stronger and faster than before !

on a side note you can roll with me to blue lake!

[Sinnful]

sorry about the 510 that sucks

 

 

not sure if you have been in wrecks before, but if your back and neck are sore. go see a chiro!! do not trust the normal doctors on that. they will say heres some drugs and let me know in a few days. been there done that. teh last wreck I was in I had to be adjusted and a massage three times a week for like 6 months.

[datto510]

Bummer dude. I dont know how I would react if someone smashed my dime.

[Phlebmaster]

Sorry to hear your dime is a loss. :(

[lynchfourtwenty]

i think its a mix of that an jus plain bad luck..

 

or those mf'ers are tryin to get rid of our dattos

[mazdat]

That sucks bro, good thing that you or anyone else did not get seriously hurt, get you a clean shell and start swapping parts over:)

[philcas1987]

I'm starting to forget how it smells,feels,drives. Haven't looked at it in a week. Its my only car. My daily. Got a first offer from farmers; 3500 and get to keep the car.

[kiznook]

take it! It won't be worth fighting them to maybe get another 500-1000

[72240z]

That sounds like a fair number to me. A clean shell plus your labor and you should be back to 0. No?

[lynchfourtwenty]

agreed, sounds fair.. way better then what bonvo got..

[MikeRL411]

Just make damned sure this settlement doesn't include a salvage title! If it does, and you can't get a better deal, register it as a "custom", or call your cousin in Alabama.

[72240z]

If they are paying out and he gets to keep the car I can't imagine anyway it won't be with a salvage title. What difference does it make if it's genuinely totaled and all is getting swapped anyway?

 

I'm no expert though just going by esp.

[philcas1987]

That's a "fair" price for a 510 in the condition mine was. turns out they didn't know about the engine swap, and parts it took to build it. I'm a receipt pack rat so I have receipts down to tha last stainless steel bolt. They said to send in any receipt that is not maintenance stuff.

[72240z]

It sounds to me like they are being pretty nice. I was told performance upgrades to be insured had to be appraised 1st (So they can adjust the premium). Glad to hear they are doing right by you.

[philcas1987]

Its farmers so they don't have my best intrest in mind. They said they want to take a look at them. I already know what 510 I'm going to get. So any money after is for yet another 510 to build with the parts.

[DISLEXICDIME]

the real questio is after they look at your mods will they lower the price :fu:

[philcas1987]

^^^ that be some funny shit. Then I would get what I deserve.

[thisismatt]

No offense to your car, but I'd be smiling all the way to the bank if I owned it and they gave me $3500 and I got to keep the car

[philcas1987]

I'm more than happy for that amount. But it can't hurt to send them the receipts.

[yello620]

I too think that you got a very good offer the first time around, but having been through this already when my truck was totaled, hold out for a few more days after they get the receipts. They will come to about $4200 pretty fast, but not budge after that is my guess.

[az_rat210]

Talk to a Lawyer.

 

Judging from the Damage, you were hit at 40+ MPH. Due to your car rear ending the car in front of you, this is going to be a Legal nightmare.

 

Whatever offer Farmers makes, be sure its ONLY as a settlement on the vehicle not for the Accident as a whole and settle only with permission from your Lawyer.

 

See a Chiropractor, your looking at Whiplash damage because you knocked back from the initial impact and then forward from the front end crash.

 

I can tell you from my past 3 experiences that your looking at over $7k in diagnosis and adjustment cost with a Chiropractor, and if your hurting now its going to get worse within the next few weeks probably.

 

Sorry about the Dime. Sharp little car.

[philcas1987]

Good news. I have an attorney on my side. Hopefully I get the check for the car next week.

[Bleach]

Get some massages. You should have $10,000 in your PIP to spend. Its not just because it "feels" good, your body really needs healing.

[philip1]

First I want to say I'm glad you are OK. I tear up every time I see a Datsun die. I hope it's heart will live on in another Datsun.
