Car smashed by A$$$HOLE

**trump-lady** · 28th July 2009, 20:06

Ok guys I need some suggestions,

So last week, Thursday I moved to a new house and durring all the moving in and car loads of stuff I finished around 12.30am. I left my car on the road...

In front of a ped crossing light over the car and no bend, round about prob 100 feet away. No need for concern I thought.

So Friday I get up to go to work and some ASSHOLE has hit my car and just left. No note nadda just a pile of shit and a smashed up car.

Happened around 2-6am so Im sure it was a drunk. No skid marks s/he just smacked it and then drove off........

I check my insurance and no sorry you have third party and we would only cover if you had his details and he wasnt insured.

I know I know 3rd party prob wasnt the best but the car has an immobolizer, had its own secure park (at the old house) and its too late I dont need the lecture pwwwease.

So pretty much that was one hell of an expensive move and I dont have a car now.

So the car is still parked where it was hit.
Is rego and warrented and was an ex car, never had any problems.
Has lotsa gadgets like a remote starter, beeps when goes backwards, good stereo and I started the car with the remote starter and she fired up. The motor is good as it was side rear ended.......

Do I put it on trademe?
If so how much?
Is it worth trying to fix it?

Suggestions welcome

Shit, bad luck.

Does it drive?? See if you can get it to a panelbeater and get an assesment of the repair bill. I suspect it's a write-off.

Dollar reserve it on TM - you'll probably do OK.

Holy crap. U didn't hear that happen? Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Maybe a neighbour has a smashed up front left??

looks pretty mangled aye, dont spose anyone was likely to have seen anything in the neighbourhood? Or go CSI on his ass and reconstruct his number plate imprint from the dents

Be a good idea to get an expert opinion on it, see exactly how much of it would need replacing, whether any chassis damage could be repaired or whatever.

Fucking stink bastard whoever did it for just driving off.

Its a Nissan Skyline.... why would you stop??

....hehe (sorry)

seriously though.... that is the fucking lowest of the low! damn you must be fuming mad. Surely there must be someone who heard or saw something !!

See if you can get a panelbeater to come to you. Don't drive it on that bent rim.

EDIT: I can't see any paint transfer on those photos - bit strange.

That truly sucks, feel for ya.
The perp was probably pissed too.

Get a p/beater to give it the once over but in today's market it might be cheaper to replace it.

Lesson; leave Auckland for good.

Looks pretty rooted to me.

I am sure you could do without this greif.

Get someone with fully comp insurance to drive their already damaged car into you and get both fixed and paid for.

You just pay for their increased renewal nexy year.

That's not a dumb idea, there'll be some paint from his on yours, that's a start.
