here is the thing.
the lawyer will handle anything pertaining to personal injuries. im not concerned with the money, or whatever, thats the lawyers concern, mine is i want to be ship shape like i was before this crap happened!
which leaves the car, christina, which the lawyers said straight out, they will not handle that portion, that is purely me. which is what im afraid of. im trying to educate myself best i can.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that  I thought they took care of everything. I'm sure there's lots of people on here that could lend a hand though  After all, you're our fearless leader

They might be personal injury lawyers only.

lawyers only deal with personal injuries. If icbc writes it off I'm guessing they're going to offer you $7-8gs. Start gathering info on similiar cars to show them how much they're really worth.

SG, If you bring up enough for sale ads of similar GS300s, ICBC will give you a reasonable amount back.
My uncle's car was involved in a hit and run and was totaled, I spent an afternoon searching what a similar car goes for on CL and other classifieds site, and what he got back was actually more than what he paid for. (his car was transferred to him as a gift from the previous owner)

They do have a black book type thing, but they also do check out current used car ads for the exact or similar car and with those prices, along with the book, they determine the value of the car. I know this because I know someone who is an adjuster.

glad ur ok man.
As for the appraisal: My old boss had a rare crossfire with all-AMG insides. When he crashed it and it was a write-off, they completely lowballed him, but he fought and got similar cars and what they were going for and got a much better re-appraisal after that. So my advice is: when they appraise your car and lowball you, don't give up. Fight fight fight until you get a much better price! Pull out all the tricks! And if not, at least you tried...
wish you a speedy recovery

so my parents wanted to see the car today, we drove out to the icbc lot where my car was, and i use the oppurtunity to put back some stock items i removed.
i took a picture of the interior. 
door pushed in against the seat, and shifted my whole dash to one side. the center console is completely screwed as well, but because its a side impact, icbc will be able to salvage the airbags.
the adjuster that was there pretty much said its a write off =~(
i put back my stock deck and a few other stock items for now.

3 of my 4 wheels are fine, 1 is dented and not fixable, well it is, but the cost to have it rechromed, straightened, which cant be done locally, will cost more than buying a new wheel. Quote:

If you want blackbook values go to toyota.ca, and price out a car. When it asks you if you are trading in, say yes and then there should be a button that says appraise my trade in. Actual value of the car should be about +5-10% of the high book value if everything is in good shape. Or you could just google toyota and black book. I always use it when looking to buy used cars Posted via RS Mobile | |
