guys my car is totalled!!!! - Mitsubishi Owners Association Mid Atlantic

98clipse · 10-19-2008, 09:52 AM

I was comin home from autozone and i was turning left in an intersection. and the light was green but there was no arrow so i yeilded before i turned and this lady in a ford edge comes out of no where and slams into the side of me. the cops said it was my fault because i failed to yield, even tho i yielded, but yea i only had liability on my car so i didnt get anything for it. but all the witnesses i talked to said she was speeding and i saw her hit the brakes way before she entered the intersection and she still hit me. anyways so now im car shopping again.. ill post some pics when i get a chance

RedClipse · 10-19-2008, 09:57 AM

wow dave that really sucks, sorry to hear that man. What are you looking for man? You're OK right?

98clipse · 10-19-2008, 10:04 AM

yea bro im fine i jus hurt my back right after but im fine now. but um idk what im gonna get yet, im looking at a vw corrado vr6 im jus waiting for him to email me back

HomieG · 10-19-2008, 11:32 AM

damn, sorry to hear bro. But no matter what, you'll be at fault even if she was speeding. At least your ok though.

emperor ql · 10-19-2008, 11:48 AM

Dude hope ur ok, and good luck on the car hunt... stupid bitch !

ILAN · 10-19-2008, 11:59 AM

Damn man that sucks, at least you're alright.

H8R · 10-19-2008, 12:34 PM

Corados are pretty troublesome.. Especially the G60 ones, def. go with the VR if its clean. Fear the electrical gremlins. A Vr6 into one of them is an Engine swap right?>

there were VR6 corrados, so its not necessarily a swap

anyways, sucks to hear it Dave...no other mitsu on your mind? a nice GSX so its awd this time?

HIJACKER · 10-19-2008, 01:48 PM

DO you have a detailed accident report?? Based on the length of her skidmark AND the estimated speed she hit you at impact, they should be able to calculate her speed and determine if she was speeding.

If so - you have grounds for a lawsuit and placing her at fault.

Yea, I wasn't sure if it was the 1.8 T or the Vr that was not offered. Guess it was the 1.8T.

A GSX would be a nice choice!

crpearce · 10-19-2008, 03:53 PM

Sorry to hear about the accident, Dave. Definitely take Steve's advice and have the investigators look into the other driver's skid marks. You will always get slammed with failure to yield if you were the one turning. Good luck to you.

Even if she was speeding, he'll still be at fault for not yielding. My mom got into a similar accident not too long ago. They calculated the speed and found that the other car was going 15 over the speed limit. But the cop said that in the state of MD, my mom is still at fault since the other car had right of way, even if she did yield and didnt see them coming. Im not exactly sure whose insurance companies paid for what, but I know my moms insurance company didn't have to pay for everything since the other car was speeding.

That's why I said what I did. This will assist with the vehicle loss AND any medical bills.

HIJACKER · 10-19-2008, 07:01 PM

Look into this as a replacement:

crpearce · 10-19-2008, 07:25 PM

That's a really clean GSX. I wish I could find cars like that available around here.

icemanrld19 · 10-19-2008, 07:36 PM

Man if that gsx was a 5 speed i would prob buy it, damn its clean

H8R · 10-19-2008, 07:55 PM

Those guys usually have cars that look good on-line but, are shitty in person. My buddy too looked at a GSX at Stafford auto, almost every car in the place has shotty body work that looked good from about 50 ft but was a MESS in person. Go check it out!

98clipse · 10-19-2008, 08:46 PM

yea not to big on autos but i do like it!! but yea her car didnt leave any skid marks for some reason, cause she try to go around me i guess? but yea i got a 150$ ticket and two points for that. but yea i only have about 4000 dollars so if u guys see anything with in the next week let me know!!
thanks guys for ur support!!

98clipse · 10-19-2008, 08:51 PM

i sent an email to the place that has the eclipse gsx steve, im gonna try and talk him down to 4000. or at least 4200

98clipse · 10-19-2008, 09:08 PM

my car

H8R · 10-19-2008, 10:03 PM

Part out your Eclipse you should be able to atleast get a 1000 to 1500.

crpearce · 10-19-2008, 10:12 PM

Definitely try to part out your 2G to get some extra cash.

DGJ08GTS · 10-19-2008, 10:27 PM

That sucks man but at least you're OK!

H8R · 10-19-2008, 10:29 PM

You could prob. get 1thou for the engine and trans if it runs good. You had Thermal exhaust right? Thats another 400 or so if it's turbo back.

H8R · 10-19-2008, 10:30 PM

Does it have leather seats door panels ETC...

shcernsise · 10-19-2008, 10:41 PM

EEK! Glad you are ok.

well its the strength of the impact that just gave you a slap on the back and that's what you were feeling...

H8R · 10-20-2008, 04:28 PM

Dude, check with your insurance coverage... More then likley you have PIP (personal injury protection) Even if it's your fault...You can collect, as long as you didn't wave the coverage.

98clipse · 10-21-2008, 10:17 AM

r u sure? and isnt it only after like 2 day after the accident? well the black gsx and the corrado i was looking at got sold, and tonight im going to look at a 2000 saab 9-3 turbo, its a 5 speed with 79,000 miles for $4200

emperor ql · 10-21-2008, 06:43 PM

Yea dude like H8 said, get yourself checked out just to be safe... you don't want problems hiding then come out to haunt you years down the road...
