boxpin Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 It cracked the radiator support. I was turning left at a light there were about 20 cars in line, really long and as the line got shorter the car two in front of me decided to let some bozo in who wanted to make a left turn but did not wait in line. That caused a braking domino effect and I lost. The bumper used to be the car color but its been striped to repaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagoneer855 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 It cracked the radiator support.

That caused a braking domino effect and I lost. The bumper used to be the car color but its been striped to repaint. That's happened many times to me (just was always lucky and stopped a few inches short). I've always thought 850/X70's didn't panic brake from slow speeds very well. If you mash the brake in a panic the ABS comes in way too soon and drastically stops you from stopping faster... that's a weird sentence. The problem is totally fixed with newer cars and the ABS is a lot smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom. Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 totaled? you could get that fixed minus paint for under 200 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreo931 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Buy a big brake kit with the insurance money so this won't happen again :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exexpat Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Surprised people are surprised. If the car is worth somewhere in the $2000-3000 range in the eyes of insurance, then an OEM headlight set, hood grille and paint easily get you to $2000. That said, I would take their check, buy it back and do the work myself for $200 in parts and $50 worth of product from paintscratch.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
