I Feel Lucky

[Franco Cozzo]

Corolla survived the impact pretty well, the front of my Focus was cactus when I had my accident.

Typical Toyota driver.

[Geez Louise]

I drive a Toyota and a Ford and have never rear ended anyone! It is the drivers fault, not the car! so how about the stereotyping stops hey!

Hope you get everything sorted out quickly with your insurance company GTWORKS.

Just pathetic to hit someone at 70KM/h imo, low speed traffic accidents I understand, or even in a 50 zone where things are generally moving much slower.

At 70 eyes should be where you're driving.

Yeah... look guys. Enough with the "bloody Toyota Drivers" junk already...
it's boring and adds nothing to this thread

[falconnut]

I was only joking, in all honestly the average driver is pretty bad, especially the average senior citizen.

I used to drive a toyota i had it for 3 years and never hit anything.

at least insurance will pay for your new ride!

[Wheelsforsale]

even better if you insured it for more than its worth??

[BTTB]

well market value is somewhere in the vicinity of $5500 and $7100
according to Redbook... which we all know is a low-ball figure

I paid $8500 for it @ Melbourne's Cheapest Cars
then it was registered by them $400 plus the cost of Rego $600+ plus duties
and finally I purchased a 3yr extended mechanical warranty for $1500
(knowing full well the trans would probably perish somewhere between 139,000kms (when purchased) and 200,000kms

It had about 175,00kms on her when I was hit (trans still original)

Total sale price was $12868 I think and I put $2k up front
and have paid $2992 off it over the last 11 months


Regardless... My car was almost fully financed So I've been wise
enough to insure it for an agreed value of $10k...

So at least my loan gets paid out if it is written off
Put the claim in with my Insurance today.... and should have a result by wednesday next week

So you were only joking about Toyota, but qualify that by still sticking the boot into senior citizens.
You're an ageist and a fool.

You do know that more young people die on our roads than the elderly don't you?
Perhaps in your infinite wisdom, you could enlighten me on how many senior citizens weave in and out of traffic, street race, get aggressive, tail gate, talk on the phone, text while driving, act as a general menace on the road. Perhaps you could go further and answer why every insurance company's premiums are less for senior citizens as opposed to young people.

It takes all types to make a society and denigrating one group because of extreme ignorance and a preconceived notion of self speaks volumes about the person who holds those views. Often, these people are aptly described as arrogant phallus-ends or those engaged regularly in self flagellation.
Perhaps you might look into it.

To the OP, have a look at the auctions as Telstra have a number of station wagons regularly coming up at places like Pickles and Fowles.

Car was deemed to be a write off today by the assessor

Can't finance another car till the insurance pays for this one and my divorce is settled

Should all be sorted within a month

Miss my BA wag though !
