Hoping the owner is okay.

RIP, best car ever made.

Driver OK by the looks of things. Damage looks to be mostly underneath...

RIP Tubi

The car can still be saved man. There was no major impacts, and damage looks cosmetic. Won't be cheap, but will be possible

Feel bad asking, but where are the pics of this car you guys are commenting on?

The irony is that he accused me of :

it seems that he had drag raced and hooned the car to within an inch of its life,

And now it's actually been hooned to death...

I've seen some pics of it. I highly doubt insurance will pay to fix it. Even with Second hand parts. And if they do, it would be to put the car back to stock.

The Tubi Rumore on there costs R40k excluding shipping at today's exchange rate to replace... The Bilstein suspension is probably another R30k assuming nothing else got damaged. Mirrors were R7500 a pop last I looked.
All of this on a car with a R120k Market value.

RIP to the best car I've ever owned...

*edit - I might as well post the pics I got sent since people are asking me for them...

Unless you are going to repair without the insurance involved it's a writeoff. Bumper, support, rad, cradle, mirrors, alloys, windscreen alone are going to top 60K. Then we get to all the other bits of trim that went flying, the paint, the bonnet and the kidney grilles etc etc. Then again dad might just hate money so who knows. Incredibly ironic though.

Oish not good, just read the thread on the diff mount repair this weekend...atleast no serious injuries...

Sorry to hear about the damages to the car. It seems like a write-off if the insurance co is expected to fix the car.

Call me an old fart, but I think that Dad is starting to regret giving a M-car to a 25yr old youngster as a birthday gift. As a youngster many moons ago myself, I learned to have more respect for expensive things when I paid for them myself.

Which begs a question/advice?, is it worth it paying for insurance on this car? im contemplating rather saving the installments aside.
at what point does the insurance write off the car, specifically this one?

One problem with your assumption. It's not a expensive car, not even remotely. A shitbox with a VW badge costs more than that. See where i am going with this?

I just think it's insanely fitting. The youngster comes here pointing fingers are people "driving a car within a inch of it's life" and three weeks later ditches the car due to his lack of driving skill and probably show boating. Biofreak was 25 when he had that car and never binned it.

To cover the topic of insurance. If one has a E39 M5 as a weekend car a limited millage clause of 10K a year does cut the premiums down quite a bit. Just be smart about it.
