Holy shit, sorry for your loss man  Wonder what the biker was doing to get caught in a crash like that.. Hope he has a speedy recovery, and I hope things get settled with the car soon

That's some seriously f'd up sh!t. Hope the rider recovers. Start looking up the comps for your car, ICBC will just look at a couple ads on craigslist and autotrader and average it out. It's will be up to you to research the market and to show why your ride is worth more. (ie. lower mileage, better condition, higher trim level, etc...)

They actually use an outsourced company now that provides archives of ads for any given car... But yes OP should definitely make his own list of comparables

good thing you weren't parking the car 15 minutes later. even if you would have had more time to possibly save the car, sometimes letting the car take it all compared to having aches/bruises is worth it. best of luck with icbc, etc

How the fuck could the guy that hit your car hard enough to explode it not be a pancake?! This is fucking crazy. Sorry to hear man, at least you aren't on the other end of things.

Keep us posted on what happens, I want to find out if they actually find you a replacement or offer you cash and a different colored car/model, straight cash or a pick at another car.

Thanks everyone. It sucks but it could be worse. I'm not injured and there weren't any valuables in the car.
I'm a little pissed since this will cost me money and time one way or another but again, the worst thing that happened to me today is I lost a car and have to wait awhile before I buy a new one. It's like I just lost a couple thousand dollars in an instant.
But hey, loads of people have bigger problems they have to deal with, including the biker who probably lost a load of skin on the pavement.

My 2011 GTI got totalled by the fucker who hijacked me and I bought a 5 year replacement insurance from a private company. ICBC reimbursed me 25k market value and Optiom insurance paid the difference between the ICBC cheque and what I paid for back in 2011 (36k+tax)
I could buy anything new or used as long as its from a dealership. Over the value you add on top, under it then you lose out. I ended up going $200 under with a 2015 mk7.
Hope that info helps.
Btw I highly recommend new car buyers to get the Optiom 5 year replacement insurance for under $1200, you can even do 0 interest 12 month payment plan for it. I had $40k to spend on my replacement car instead of the $25k budget, just cuz someone else totalled your car.
Optiom also covers your deductible.

Hope that info helps. | Well, I bought it certified pre-owned so I don't think replacement is possible. 2011 GTI with only 19k on the odo.
I'm just hoping they give me what my car is worth rather than what I paid.

Holy fuck! Good luck with ICBC dude. Good to hear that you weren't hurt. Cars can be replaced.
Hope the rider makes a swift recovery.

dont sign salvage release until they've offered what you are happy with. my adjuster tried to sneak it in when i first went into the claims centre
find lots of ads that agree with what you value the car at, and should be simple to argue

The bike was a KTM 1290 superduke, not a bike you would ride around with a jerry can on top. But hey, weirder things have been seen in Richmond before.
