I saw this on OzLiberty - sorry to hear that mate.

Are you sure it's a write off? It looks as though it could be structurally sound - but hey, I'm no expert :)



EDIT: DON'T even think about getting a TT engine. :rolleyes:

[spacca]

Doesn't look that bad. Insurance companies will write anything off these days...

Go the RS wagon. They're rare, go quick and have lots of room in the back. Failing that, go the sedan. You won't be dissapointed.

[SHEPPO3930]

i dont think its a write off.

bad luck man, but i think its fixable. would have to see if the floor, roof and front chassis rails are still straight.

if it is deemed a write of, buy an RS wagon.

[RSwagz]

the pictures don't show the really bad damage when you open the boot and take the spare ou t all the floor is cracked and moved away from the sides also the car actaullay dips down at the rear so theres alot of damage that you have to look closey for...
and yes i would love an RS wagon or sedan anyone in melbourne want to sell me theres..???

[mitch]

That sucks mate, but unless it has some chassis damage, then she won't be a write off!

And if you want to get a new car, pick a budget and then that will give you a better indication of what to get. Whether to go out and get a gen2/3 GTB or find an aus del wagon and do that one up nice :)

[anothe]

Ah that sucks! Still, it could have been worse I guess.

I'd go the RS wagon also.

I know it's in Brisbane, but if i had my time again i'd snap this thing up. 2.5l conversion, 200kwatw super sexy car, have seen it in person. Beats slowly fixing up mine.

[RST-WRC]

Yes, become a fellow RS Wagon owner!!

[RSwagz]

well if it's ridin off i should have around 12-14 k to play with, there looks to be chassis damage so i do think it will be i also asked the tow truck driver and without hesitation he said it will be a ride off, in a way im hoping it is because it's going to be really hard to sell a car thats been in an accident like this and the car is never the same which really sucks...

Yeh i was thinking that'd be a huge jump in powah from n/a. That link you posted is a very very nice example by the looks of things, go it.

RS Wagonz r uber kewl 733t.

You wont do it, you've changed :D

[christuffa]

lucky its not ridden off :P

[subliber]

exact same thing happened to me in november last year over here in perth on leach hwy. i was stationary and got slammed from behind by a falcon and went thru the tray back ute infront. but yer urs is definately a rite off going from what happned to me. i got my RS out of it! so i am kinda glad the nub hit me. what ever wags u get, its bound to be chopping material. good luck with everything!

[iOrion]

hahahahahahaha


Chris said, "ridden" :P

Cue up can of worms waiting to be opened....

gen2 wagon all the way dude, turbo or not. get a 97/98 model so it feels like an upgrade..

or even a gen 3 if you've got the coin

[91rs]

YARRRRRRR .... Yes its unlucky but the term is
Written off NOT Riddn
and its not a RIDE OFF ... its a WRITE OFF ...

FFS people get it right

[Billsy]

iOrion is just showing his n00b status

that sucks dude. if the doors dont open then its squashed and i can almost guarantee its a writeoff, id be looking for a new one anyway, on the off chance they fix it, it wont be as good as it was

[Marv]

Sorry to hear. Personally, I'd grab a Gen 2 and convert it to single turbo :D

[RSdan]

Sucks heaps man.. but if written off, better things to come..

This was my old ride that was written off a month after i sold it to a mate.. still miss that car :( check out the roof ripples. Was hit hard in the back at 80km, mate was waiting to turn at a set of lights. then slammed into the tray of the ute infront of him.

Anyways sorry for thread hijack...

I would say that it will be a write off.

I had minor front end damage to one of my Suby's and parts are a killer. I damaged a front bumper, radiator support, bonnet, 1 head light, a few other bits, and that was $7k to fix. I had no tail end damage. I'd say to fix your car, it will easily go close to insured value, and insurance companies will write it off so they don't have to offer lifetime warranty on repairs.

Start looking for a clean wagon from which ever series you like most. They are all great cars.

[callan_01]

Damn, that doesnt look pretty. I know the exact feeling! Hurry up and buy another one so u can get my conversion before it gets snapped up by someone else!

[yods]

gen2 + conversion ftw

[rs guy]

14k would get you a nice car and money left over to convert it

+1 Marv.

I wasn't looking at this from a potential conversion perspective, but from a TT drivers perspective. I know nothing of conversions so it didn't even cross my mind.

gutted for ya lads
