Thanks man! I just Pm'd the guy...

visuvius · 07-30-2009, 02:22 PM

This f'ing sucks guys. They don't want to pay the $5,200 and are going to total the car. I'm finding autotrader ads to fax the a$$hole agent prices of comparable MR2s for sale. The body shop says it can be fixed just fine, its just they don't want to pay for new parts on the bumper and fender.

How does insurance work on a salvaged car?

Kw8z3boi · 07-30-2009, 07:19 PM

^^^ damn bro, that sucks. I don't know if this help you at all but here's from a small preown dealership near my house that's selling a mr2

1993 TOYOTA MR2

Jmoney · 07-30-2009, 07:31 PM

hey guys this is MJ!! jmoneys girlfriend! and i just want to say that im sorry i missed the last meet! justin told me lots about it! i had to work! you know flippin them in n out burgers! lol hope to see all you guys soon!!!

Jmoney · 07-30-2009, 07:43 PM

ok so help me out this is still mj! im trying to convice j$ that he should have a track car (mr2) and the 96 eclipse as a daily driver. so we can hook up the duce and dont have to worry about smog or cops. trailer it to meets or races! and the eclips as a to/from work car. but he hates it cause its slow and i dont blame him. but the thing i hate is he trys to use my Z! ohhh maaannnn i cant have that! he wants to sell the eclipse and put the money towards the duce. i dont blame him. but then we have to keep it CA street legal! and i dont know what to do! what do you guys think?????

Thanks man thats actually one of the cars I'm pointing out in my reply to the agent. There are only 5 1993 MR2's being sold locally according to Auto Trader and only a couple of those will probably really compare. Anything will be better than the $4,500 these a-holes are claiming it was worth.

MR2noobiii · 07-30-2009, 10:08 PM

hey guys quick question. does any one know the torque on the bolt for the mainbaring?

Thats a freeking 93 HT turbo! If its legit, then its worth a pretty penny. Those are the rarest of the rare. Lots of miles though

Davis · 07-30-2009, 11:55 PM

Screw Focus Auto sales, they wayyy over price their cars. I remember looking at a 91 NA AMP, they wanted 7k for it. High mileage and it had a busted tail light.

But yeahhh, a 93 hardtop turbo and I guess their keeping the foggies to themselves.

Oh and whoever painted the roof/engine lid black deserves a

Kw8z3boi · 07-31-2009, 04:30 AM

The reason focus auto sales selling cars so expensive because they actually modify the car themselves and fix any problem. I know that they own a few skyline for shows

I don't blame him...the MR2 is way more fun. If he wants to keep it street legal tell him to bring it up to me. I have a Gen2 Turbo motor that's running just fine. If he gives me the car with the motor in it I can use the trans he already has. With the money saved he can get a full exhaust (that's not too loud), some cams, a new turbo (CT27 or something), and still have money to fix any other little problems. I know the cars inside and out and would love to help out

that 93t looks pretty beat, and focus auto sucks. I remember a few years ago I was looking at a couple fd's they had, terrible people to talk to. wouldn't answer any questions and knew next to nothing about the cars

^^^anyone know the owner of that? Not sure if I should pick that up or not

visuvius · 07-31-2009, 08:44 PM

Well ooohhh snap.

Late this afternoon I bombarded the agent with all of my evidence including autotrader ads with explanations and email receipts from two's r us that the previous owner was kind enough to send me. I made a pretty decent case.

I have a feeling they didn't even look at it in detail. I'm guessing they must've realized at the amount of **** I sent that I was pretty serious about not getting screwed. I got a call from the body shop a few minutes ago saying the insurance company authorized the repairs at $5,216 with a couple small open items.

I can't wait to get my 2 back. Thanks for the support guys.

datguydeni · 07-31-2009, 09:06 PM

^go Hamid fight those insurance companies.

honda_bar · 07-31-2009, 09:07 PM
