rmc523 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Well.....ah.....it certainly held up/together well! They forgot to mention this occured at a street light when the Escape slowly nudged up a bit too much.... Seriously, though, I'd like to see pictures of the Escape.

RichardJensen Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Probably why they're adding the extra shift at Oshawa. They'll go back to normal after they build this guy's replacement car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixt9coug Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 anyone notice it looks like it happened in front of a trailer home? Or has aluminum siding really gotten that much more popular lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97svtgoin05gt Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Clearly no form of braking was involved in this accident. Looks like it got plowed at at least 45mph. Must've been some shot. I sure hope the insurance co. makes him whole. I wonder what the depriciation is on a 20 hour old Camaro SS?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I sure hope the insurance co. makes him whole. I wonder what the depriciation is on a 20 hour old Camaro SS?? He better prepare for a big fight from his insurance company. I had a 30 day old Explorer lost to a house fire. The insurance company tried to say it was worth about $9,000 less than when I bought it new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97svtgoin05gt Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Yes exactly, I've heard of other instances where cars are totalled 2 days after purchase etc and the insurance co. payment won't even pay off the loan. Talk about harsh luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about harsh luck. Yeesh. Most of the bigger insurance companies now have some sort of new vehicle replacement program. I know mine does.

PREMiERdrum Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I would love to see the Escape... My mom was in an accident in her '06 Escape last week - head on with an old Caprice being driven by an illegal with no drivers license / insurance. They were both going about 45 mph when he ran a red light and creamed her head on (she was preparing to turn left). The front end of the Escape is gone, but she walked away. The engine would even still turn over, but reacted like the throttle was stuck open. Looking at the Escape, you'd never know the severity of the accident. I wouldn't be surprised if the Escape in this accident looks about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Ouch...how much was Blue book on it? Don't know, but the sticker said $38,000. I only paid about $32,500 because of A-plan and a trade-in, but they only offered me a little over $29,000 to replace it. After about a month of arguing about it, he finally gave up trying to screw me and they finally replaced it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twintornados Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Pioneer, In the words of Jason Nesmith from Galaxy Quest...."never give up, never surrender" along those lines...I was involved in a fender bender back in Feb and I am now taking the owners to small clains....seems their insurance company wants to assign 10% blame on me even though the jackass kid driving mommies Civic got a ticket for unsafe backing into the roadway striking my car.....the 10% is for being on the roadway......

You win some, you lose some. I was making a left turn. and I was out in traffic waiting for the on-coming traffic to clear, so I could turn. Then the lights all turned red. I was about to begin my turn, when I saw one car was not going to stop. and I put on my brakes and waited. The Light was red, but the car just kept a straight line and ended up side-swiping me. I put it in park and waited for a policeman. The mother of the learner's permit driver came to me and wanted to talk, I said Nothing. The policeman told me, it was the learner's permit fault, and I agreed because there was no attempt on her part to avoid the accident at all. Point of law there, you are legally required to also try to avoid an accident if at all possible. All she had to do was move just a little to her right, as I was planted. Ended up, MY insurance took over on the accident and said I was partly to blame also for trying to make the turn to begin with. Pissed, you betcha, but I hadn't had an accident for a very long time before that nor after it either. I argued what the policeman said, but they didn't care, I guess. I don't think my rates went up because of it. The kid should have had a blackmark for it anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrtran Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Well.....ah.....it certainly held up/together well! They forgot to mention this occured at a street light when the Escape slowly nudged up a bit too much.... Seriously, though, I'd like to see pictures of the Escape. The guys photobucket album: link The Escape's front end seems to have weathered the bump slightly better than the rear of the Camaro. From reading the Camaro5.com thread, I'd have to guess the Camaro got spun into a light pole after it bounced off the Escape. That might've caused the more severe damage.

No one bothered to ask me what I do on the show. Fred Kwan: You were... umm, wait... Gwen DeMarco: I repeated the computer, Fred.

Sixt9coug Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 my insurance uses ACV for their totals. Id LOVE to see them go look up ACV for this car, find a ton of dealer ones with high ADMs on them and have to shell out more than sticker for one :D When my Ranger got totalled, i actually got more for it than i expected. all said and done i got around $11,400 for a truck i used for 3 years that only had a cash price of $12,600 on when i bought it.
