Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS

A little update.
I fixed some of my false KR by securing the Trans dipstick. That got rid of a lot of the false KR. I still have to change the front o2 or bash in the fire wall some more though.

I spent the day today cleaning out my regal, removing any weight that i could. I managed to off 75 lbs worth of spare tire, jack, tools that couldn't be used by the side of the road in an emergency, etc. I also did some basic maintenance like new AL103s gapped at .050 and i went out and tuned.

I also ordered Casper's FP hot-wire kit. I already have the ZZP, but i liked the reviews for the caspers vs the ZZP. I also should mention that they are currently on sale for $35.

On my way home tonight, a deer ran out in front of me and i hit it and went off the road. Im ok but the regal has seen better days. I hope i can get through the insurance company quick enough, so i can repair it and get it back on the road.

Yeah, they will total it. They might value the car at 2500-3000 but the damage and cost of new parts/paint will cost 1500-2000 easy.


Sorta like my sisters bonneville, a ford ranger ran a light and smacked the front right fender and it damaged the door too. Repair costs were 1500-2000 but the car was still worth 4,000 so they ended up fixing it. And because the other driver was at fault.
 


Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS Accident Page 8

That's helpful! Maybe raise value of the car less likely to total it

You just need a lamp assembly to be back on the road. A black donor car would make this a real easy fix. Those pesky deer!

Don't worry Cap'n, we'll just buff out those scratches.

Sorry that happened to you.
 


Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS Accident Page 8

Well, i found a few black regal gs's for less than $500 on craigslist. The body on the cars are good, they just have the usual coolant LIM/ Lost 4th issues. When a middle aged woman hit my gtp last year they cut me a check for 2300 and the damage was a lot lighter than the regal. Who knows, i may be able to fix the car AND have a little fun with it.
 
Re: 1999 E85 Regal GS Accident Page 8

In South Carolina if it's totaled they give you a Salvage Title that lets potential buyers know it has been in an accident and the car may not be safe to drive and after the car is fixed it's given a rebuilt title that some insurance companies refuse to insure. I hope that's not the case in your state. I wouldn't bother with the insurance company
