Default What the Heck!

So I got into a small fender bender..........turns out this counts as totaled.

I ended up getting ripped too. I only got 1200 cause it was in an accident before. Not cause of a salvage title cause mine was clear but because it was in a previous accident. Im glad I know some people and can fix it for cheap.

You got $1200 after the buy back, right? That's not bad!

$1200... That's BS. You HAVE to fight those insurance companies. When my car was totaled they wanted to give me a ridiculous amount and keep the car. I fought for a few weeks, and got $6800 and kept the car. It's a 95 with 180k.

It's 'cause your car is black...lawl. Racists.

Seriously though, I've never heard of them giving less due to a prior accident. +1 to ishootstuf, and maybe now you can opt for a '97+ conversion if that's your thing!

yeah once u sign its done... they always lowball u at first... then they hit u back a week later with a better number, then it keeps going up and up... the prior accident should have not affected how much u got
