Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 30, 2007 9:47 am) Back to topic... perhaps the OP was hit by a car turning into the dealership, who might have taken too wide a turn. I know we don't know the details, but it is possible that she was not the one at fault.

Replying to: mikefm58 (Aug 30, 2007 6:31 pm)  I still have one in my files, my friends Miata, which was hit 3 times totalling $18000 in damages, and the CARFAX report is clean as a whistle.

Replying to: manda613 (Aug 30, 2007 10:07 am) Now your insurance might have some sort of rider to cover a replacement vehicle as noted in your original message. Check with the insurance company. As for totalling - every company has a threshold for total loss. Again check with your insurer. GAP insurance will cover the difference between what you owe and what insurance pays you if it's totalled. Any downpayment or trade you made is gone forever. Last - based on the fact that you pulled out of a one way street in the wrong direction, you are at least 50% at fault. Good Luck. |

Anybody ever had this happen? GF was waiting for a car going the wrong way in a bank parking lot. Bicyclist on sidewalk thought both cars were exiting (?) and tried to cut through the parking lot striking my car. Put some good size dings in the car. Bicyclist was fine and left the scene. My GF didn't get any contact information. I think she was pretty freaked out. Of course I'm stuck paying the deductible for damages caused by the bicycle.  Bicycle hit and run? I've heard of cars hitting bicycles, and bikes hitting parked cars to avoid an accident. This is an odd one though. An inattentive bike rider hitting a car in a parking lot.

Your car should be totaled. Repair Estimate (so far) $9,000 Diminished Value 3,000 Total Claim (so far) $12,000 Book Value vs Actual Purchase Price = not the same.
