Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Re: What would you do? (Big Read)

*The 03 LE does NOT have a Northstar motor in it. It is a 3.8 I have seen it in person as well. They changed the engine cover for some reason.

David! didn't know you still came on this site!

and Ill keep you guys posted.
 
Re: What would you do? (Big Read)

anyone know how i would go about getting a Salavage title so i can keep the Grand prix?

as it stands (Before i submit my recepits to increase value)

They want to Total it out and keep it for 5 Grand.
or i can keep it and they pay out 4 grand.
 
Re: What would you do? (Big Read)

Status Update: #1

I spoke with Steve from Regal cars of Florida (Dealership owner who has the 03 LE) and he said he more then likely can go to the price we spoke about a few months back (7 grand for the 03 LE with 69K)

collecting my recepits to send to USAA so they can increase the Value (Not dollar for dollar, but a percentage)
 
Re: What would you do? (Big Read)

Confirmed 7300$ out the door with Taxes and all.

so its going to be like 6600$ + taxes and stuff



When its KBBed at $9,475 and I'm getting it for 7 Grand

Good deal right? 69k miles

Re: What would you do? (Big Read)

My 2001 F-150 was bluebooked at $4200. I am getting $8334.59 from my insurance. They valued my truck at $7500 (don't know how or why?), plus tax, and unused portion of my registration. I have AAA. I would think that your car would be worth more? I thought USAA was good. But then again, the girl who totaled my truck, was insured through daddys USAA. They are not covering my loss, my insurance is. Basically, I think that AAA will sue her dad to cover my $8300 check.
Hopefully it works out for you. You should be able to salvage title that car.
 
Re: What would you do? (Big Read)

I don't understand the dilemma here?

buy a junk yard motor, rebuild it, then put it in...

$1000 total cost if you do it wrong....
 
Re: What would you do? (Big Read)

USAA is saying my car is a total loss no matter what the **** i do.

their estimate on repairs is wrong in the firstplace (They claim 8 grand)

i got documentation for a new engine for 6 grand


and i can rebuild it for less then that.


Some **** about a certificate of destruction.
 
Re: What would you do? (Big Read)

^That's fūcked up! I just spoke with AAA. I am going to pick up my check, and sign over my pink slip at 2:00pm.

Why did you report it at all?

If it's a COD, then the car is no longer able to be registered again, and is basically %100 parts car.

If I were you, this is what I would do:

Get the car back and take the $4,000.

Part the car out.

Save all of the money you got, and buy something else, nice and reliable.

You'll have a estimated amount of around $9,000.. + whatever you make off the parts.

You can get something nicer then a GTP for 10,000+

Think about it.
