What has your insurance company told you? Also I hope you had GAP insurance if you financed it.

I paid cash for it... I wish I hadn't. The insurance company won't give you the taxes you paid, and mods (my CAI), and I am sure they are going to say it has dropped a couple thousand in value. I am hoping to get about $20K for it.

Actually they give you cash value, but its not what most would think. It's higher than say Kelly Blue Book. Also you do get taxes back. They are supposed to take a look at the make model etc. value that plus tax, tag and title fee's. Trust me, I just had a car that was a total loss about three months ago and I thought I was going to be screwed, but all worked out well. If you want more information PM me. Who's your insurance company?

Really? That news isn't so bad then. I have MetLife.


You'll be fine however, they should have discussed it with you in detail when you called to report your car stolen. If they didn't, I'd call them back and ask them to explain the process. 99.9% of insurance companies wait a minimum of 30 days before they start the paperwork to pay for the car. It's a hope that the car is found or recovered so they don't have to pay that much out unless its recovered stripped/chopped up etc.

Up here in Ontario (I work for an insurance company) if you buy a brand new car and you pay for a special endorsement on your policy which is only an extra $50/yr, you get the full purchase price of the vehicle including taxes and everything for up to 2 years after you purchased the vehicle. So if my Mustang was stolen or written off in an accident, I would receive close to $40k. And before you say I got ripped off on my car, remember thats in Canadian dollars. Cars are expensive here. The MS3 stickers for $31,500 or so here.
 
^Yep I have that on my policy. It's great, if something happens to your car and it gets totalled, even 2-3 years later, you get the full purchase price. So convenient. It better be though, I'm paying a ridiculous rate. =)
$30,995 CDN for a MS3, MSRP btw.

Close enough. I think the white is $200 more.

Thanks M3_Zoom.... At this point, I hope they don't find it. God knows what has happened to it. I do like the looks of the BMW 335xi. (300 HP, AWD....)

Just trying to stay positive right now.

I dunno.... all the AWD Bimmers I've read reviews of get a big thumbs down compared to their RWD counterparts. BMW understands RWD sedans better than any company in the world. If you don't live in Canada I can't see why you want.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss.

My dealer makes all MS3., MS6s have Lojac installed and he eluded that it was required for all ms3's maybe just from him... . Do you know if you have that installed? I know its late but they guarantee to find your car.

A Lojack can be installed anytime and on many different products, Cars, Motorcycles, Watercraft etc. they even have lojack for laptop computers. I have it on all of my cars and it's well worth it. If you want to have it installed on a vehicle they will come to your house to install it. Don't let dealerships tell you "if you don't have it installed at the time of purchase you can't get it" because that is wrong.

Here's there Website http://www.lojack.com/index.cfm
 
Man that sucks!! Sorry for your loss. Hope the insurance co. take care of you. Then again if they find it, you won't have to buy another cai. If it's still on the car.
 
I've realized something after reading most the thread.

The guy who brought that "friend" with him, but doesn't really know him.......is lying.

Who brings a "friend" they don't really know to a party? RIIIIIGHT

Also you said he's been trying to locate him, but calling you for updates? It almost seems like he's trying to find out what kind of info the cops are finding for you to see whether or not they're close to finding his friend, so they can relocate and/or ditch the car..

if he calls and asks for any updates.... tell him nothing....

and for future reference just keep your keys in your pocket dude.... :D

Whenever I have parties I lock all the bedroom doors and nothing important is in the living room or kitchen.... the only door that remains unlocked is the bathroom ;)

Werd. I though the exact same thing... "Yah, I don't know this guy, I just met him and though he'd be fun to party with..."

Or be anti-social like me, shun society, and never throw parties.

+1...
Stuff like this is reasons why I don't throw parties...I'll go to them, not not at my place. Then I'm always ready for people to leave HOURS before they're ready to roll!
 
well when I have a party, I'll be a dickhead. I leave the door LOCKED, and it's only people I know.... if someone I don't know shows up I'll kindly tell them

"I'm sorry but since I have angora-rancid-phobia.....which is a fear of strangers in my home.... I cannot allow you inside" ;)

I don't care how pissed another person I "know" says that it's their friend...... if I don't know that person, they're not setting foot inside my home... I rarely throw parties anymore any way because people are never ready to leave when I'm ready for them to leave........ i.e. I want to go to fking sleep, haha.
