Mazda wrecked my MSP.

(don't forget, the dealer is footing the bill for my rental right now, so I'm not in a huge hurry) -

It may take a long time yes......but in your case you can wait a long long time...look at it as a...suffer a little now....makes up for every millisecond later....good luck though....dont let them **** you on this one...you so have the upperhand.........and if you go to court....remember neglegence...i know in some states you can only go to a certain amount...but if i am correct i think it ranges from 1000 to 100,000..........haha....gas for a year...

The Verdict...sorta

Damage is currently estimated at $11,716 or so. That's not including the turbo, intercooler, and assorted piping that probably got mooshed.

I think they're going to ask me if I want to fix it or not - I've been playing phone tag with Mazda's insurance rep all week - she's in Chi-town, I'm in San Diego - kinda makes it tough.

God then its gotta be totalled man. Consider that MSP's that have no accident history have been offered up for sale on this forum for 12 grand, and that car is done for. If you repair it you are getting the short end of the deal because it will never sell for 12 grand.

 

[Quik89Si]

No way in hell am I getting it repaired...I just can't believe it came out to be that much.

but we dont have a blue book value..only for protege and p5

umm the msp is in the NADA value book

 

[Quik89Si]

I pulled as much information about how much my car is worth, and copied and pasted it into a word document. I have about 6 assorted MSP's that were for sale in my area, plus the NADA guide value and the Edmunds.com TMV pricing report in there. As stated above, KBB doesn't offer a value for the MSP.

 

[Quik89Si]

Ok, so the car was totalled. I'm getting a nice, fat check from Mazda's insurance company and I'm currently looking at RSX's.

hopefully rsx-s but glad things worked out was the check for the bluebook value?

 

[Quik89Si]

Um, it was for quite a bit more than I expected. More than what I paid for the car.

Yes, RSX type-S it shall be. My wife wants me to get that car as much as I want to get it.

I was originally going for the MSM, but I read about some problems with them (just like the MSP, not a shocker) not to mention that my wife is worried that I'll get picked up on by men if I drive a Miata...

How much did you have in mods?

 

[Quik89Si]

$35. I had a K&N panel air filter. The rest was stock, and I must say - I'm glad.

 

[DeanSweet]

glad it worked out for you. Now buy the girl who wrecked your car a thank you card and include a coupon for driving school with some of the extra $....

Post some pics of the new ride after you get it.

Ouch! I didn't see this until today. That really sucks, good luck with everything.

I was suprised to see that the girl still works there. I got all of the rest of my stuff outta my car yesterday and walked right past her.

I'll post pics - of course! This board has been nothing but good to me.

what about the new Civic Si?

 

[theice]

on a side note, if you tell your insurance company about this, reguardless, your rates will go up.

just an FYI: This isn't necessarily true as I was rear-ended (not my fault) earlier this year, and my premium actually went down when I renewed this past month. I had even made a medical claim through my insurance as well as the at-fault driver's.

 

[Quik89Si]

I don't believe my rates will be going up, as I had no part in the accident, nor did was a claim filed through my insurance company.

The new Civic Si. Hmm. It's a thought, but I gotta say I like the RSX quite a bit better. The interior of the new Si doesn't do it for me!

right, there's no reason your rates would rise. I was just saying from my experience that my rates didn't rise even though I was in an accident and a claim was made, since I was not at-fault. (thumb)

The dealer going to give you any special deals on a new car?
