[QUOTE="Grabber, post: 14814641, member: 70485"] Curious on this - If I buy a car, put 8K in mods to it and have low miles on it. I then take it to a dealer, they total it. So, technically speaking, They give my 2K more than what I paid for the car, but, keep the car. What abut the 8K in things I BOUGHT WITH MY OWN MONEY that I cannot get back to sell, or put on another car I may purchase? Insurance companies will allow you to remove aftermarket parts as they are not including them in the fair market value of the car when totaling it out or appraising it. Ask me how I know :) Same should go for a dealership. They illegally drove this guys car, wrecked it and will not give it back. Instead, they give him a couple grand more than what he paid, but, he is losing the thousands of dollars in extra's the dealer is now getting. So, if you do the math, he is only getting about 31,000 back if you consider what he put in the car. If you illegally drive/abuse my car and wreck it, I will hire a lawyer and get the full amount out. You didn't give the tech or the dealer permission to drive your car at most likely high speeds, beat on it and wreck it. If you total your own car, that is different, It is your property, you do with it what you will. Granted, 39K is more than fair. But, what about pain/suffering, he lost a car he loved and has to find a new one. All of the money invested is gone. I think the dealer gave him that amount to try and cover their ass. They know they were wrong. [/QUOTE]
