Re: My SVX got hit! ARGH!

That sucks Mike. At least you caught him before he just ended up driving off. And at least the damage wasnt worse than it is... I too thought it was going to be your Claret.

Re: My SVX got hit! ARGH!

Thanks everyone.

I got an estimate from a local body shop for $2890~ to paint and replace the rear quarter and bumper cover.

I have already formally filed a claim with the other party's insurance company. I will get at least two more body shop estimates and I will be contacted by one of their adjusters on Monday.

I have a feeling that they will total the car, but I intend to fix it and make the best of the situation, and fix the few rust spots the car has as well.

Re: My SVX got hit! ARGH!

Also, thank you everyone for your concerns about the Claret.

The engine and trans are currently removed and Eric and I stayed up all night cleaning out the engine bay and cross member.

Re: My SVX got hit! ARGH!

Mike-

I see rust repair in your future! This will likely be a good thing for you. It isn't as if the car was all original. The car was "almost-totaled" already about 6 years ago.

The quarter panels are no longer available from subaru, but I think I know where one is locally (though I can't remember which side it is) and I could bring it to reading for you.

Mike

I just checked. The quarter panel is the wrong side.

take the money and run. I bet you guys can fix that in house and you could get it painted up nice like the other car you guys did and then sell that one too. An ebony with a nice paintjob and a 5 speed should bring some good money in to you guys.

Re: My SVX got hit! ARGH!

that blows and the fact that the person pretended they didn't notice that he hit something would have blown my stack!

you can't tell me for one minute that he couldn't tell he hit something! ticks me off just thinking about it!

sorry about the car good luck getting her back to new

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

I could have sworn that they are still available. I'll have to double check for myself on Monday.

When I worked in a Subaru dealer parts department back in 2003, I ordered the last one for a member here on the network.

Re: My SVX got hit! ARGH!

Mike-

I, too, was worried it was the Claret. Wheew!

The joke is: you walk up to your car to see the side raked form end to end... but then you see a note on the windshield. Thank god. You unfold the paper and it says "These people that saw me hit your car think I'm leaving my name and address".

Re: My SVX got hit! ARGH!

Good one Christian.


As for the status update, I am still waiting on a finished copy of the police report. The insurance company did call me already and stated that they require a copy before the adjuster can come to do the asessment.
