Title: Got rear-ended last week
Post by: Sara on May 02, 2008, 12:54:32 PM
Was stopped at a red light.  Didn\'t hear any screeching of tires, just SMASH!

It\'s totaled. I\'ll be negotiating the pittance they\'ll offer me next week. I was hit by an SUV, then pushed into an SUV in front of me.  There\'s some damage on the front, negligible compared to the rear.

The unscathed pic is from last summer.  I had planned on switching the rims the next day (the stock rims with all-seasons were on at the time of the collision).

Damn I loved that car, but I\'m grateful I wasn\'t killed/pushed into an intersection.

crap, such a waste. Any damage to the SUV? It always makes one feel a tad bit better if the other car got totaled as well.

My condolences for your sweet 3000GT.  I like those cars.  You don\'t see them around too much like some other models.

I\'ll admit I had naughty thoughts when I read the thread title.

Thats a shame about the car. Beautiful car. Hopefully you can get something decent offered.

Glad you\'re ok Sara. Too bad about the sweet car. I echo what Cored said. That is...err....was a great car.

The suv that hit me took a little bit of damage to the grill and I know the radiator was leaking...so definitely a little front-end damage, but nothing compared to the mess you see above.

The suv I was pushed into has minor rear bumper damage.

In any case, I\'d still consider a rear-ending from Jumpman.  Come \'ere, Jumpy...

Women love the bad boys :fro:

One thing that may make you feel better is that SUVs typically cost more to fix than your average sedan.

Have you started shopping around for anything yet?  autotrader.com!

That is really unfortunate. Sorry to hear that Sara. 3000GTs are really nice and yours looked sick. Thinking of getting another?

Glad you weren\'t hurt, Sara. Shame about the car, hopefully the one who hit you and insurance end up buying you a new one.

Apparently I got the worst detail ever...

Everything is nearly resolved. I\'m getting $5700 for my totaled car, plus a little more for the engine.

Going to look at a used 3000GT in Ohio over the weekend.

Good luck with that...i was hurt when i totaled my 240....and even tho the dodge stealth and gt 3000 were basically the same thing, i\'ve always thought that the gt 3000 looked better,....too bad they stopped production of that car,...they were always in direct competition with the supra(my fav) the rx-7 and the 300-zx...
