Can somebody please explain to me as to why the insurance company suddenly "owns" your car after a crash...........as to make things worse for you they steal your car off you and even after the payment/s you make to those scumbags.....they still want you to "buy" your OWN car back..

genki:
if your car is a write off and they pay you what you had it insured for, they then consider the wreck to be their property and it goes off to auction.
anything not listed on the policy can be taken out/off... like stereo gear, rims, steering wheels, gauges etc. etc. which is why so many cars at pickles come on chasers with no stereo :P
but the car as a whole belongs to them until auction.
Chris,
did you ammend the insurance policy to include the new driveline? kos if you didn't, and you still have your reciepts, then in theory... the tranny and forged motor is still yours and you could demand them back in exchange for stock items...
key words there being "in theory"... kos i'm sure they'd kick up a fuss about it...

Anything not on the insurance policy is deemed as a mod and may be used to void insurance. Typically they own whatever was on the car at time of accident. The reason they have no stereo is that they go missing between the holding yards and going to auction. This is the reason after an accident have your car taken to your house and not a holding yard so you can remove the items even if you have to pay for the tow.

Insurance company insisted that the car get towed to local smash repair joint and it's been declared a write off. Now I have to negotiate buying the wreck back, has anyone done this before?? Hopefully they don't want too much for it
My first VL was insured for 4.5k, it was written off and i offered them $200 for the wreck. Its not about how much its all worth, alot of the time they take **** all for it. I would start real low with your offer, you never know what they'd take.

Sorry to hear Chris. The car was a beast and you were driving it just the other day on the cruise. Good that your alright and the driveline can be used in another shell. All the best mate. Im sure RB30DEBT will be back soon.
ah nice to hear chris, will be a huge weight off your shoulders
also, will try and make sure my room-mate finds the camera cable, so I can transfer the files onto my computer then onto a DVD or USB drive or whatever you want.
will let you know ASAP.

Thanks for the support guys & girls, I've 100% recovered and I'm compiling a list of cars to check out when the insurance gets payed through.
Car still starts, sort of moves, selects all gears, boosts and most importantly transbrakes
