Majority of it is done. Still needs paint and body work put back on, but theres no rush now.. LOL

Apparently the fade on the hood is impossible to replicate so its been put away so it doesn't get damaged.

I feel bad for the shops involved. I can only imagine the headache MCL is having with this lady. Why on earth would you not have full coverage on a $200k vehicle?

Anyone else think the bill is out line for the repairs costs?
Judging by the 1 pic, that does not look like a 132k worth for parts/labour but what do I know...

Pair of brake rotors for 30k just sounds absurd.

Ceramic brakes for an Aston must be really expensive. :troll:

This dumbass mainlander is not only gonna lose the case against MCL but will also be paying so much in legal fees, repair costs, and the storage fee.

-not to mention the increase in her insurance premium for her broken Aston now that ICBC will not insure her car. LUL

lol she obviously was living above her means. :facepalm:

When you do pretentious thing like buying a $200,000 Aston Martin but didn't want to spend few extra bucks for collision coverage, you obviously maxed out your credit card or just a poser who has no self esteem other than proving yourself with high end brand goods like Japanese girls do with $30+k Hermes Berkins.

Guess what...
She probably didn't do proper regular maintenance on that is recommended by Aston Martin.
Probably putting regular gas and mineral oil too.

Your comments are funny, Timpo. Mineral engine oil for an Aston. :lawl:

her car comes with carbon brake rotors, not the standard steel brakes...

Carbon Ceramic.

yeah I think Aston requires synthetic.

I wonder how worn the brakes actually are. Most of these cars do less than 2k a year. Can't be that bad can it?

That's not entirely true.

As Gordon Murray and multiple journalists said, ever since Acura NSX came into the market back in 1990, supercars manufactures have changed their game and have come a long way.

Ferrari and Lamborghini back in the day had to get their engine rebuilt like every 10,000kms, clutch change every 3,000kms, constant electronical problems, ergonomically incorrect driving position, transmission/differentials tooth kept chipping every few thousand miles, horrible side/rear view, power components rarely work properly, etc.

Back in the day, you couldn't drive a supercar everyday without doing major work.

Fast forward today, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and all the other supercars are BUILT TO LAST. You can see people driving 100,000 miles on it too.

That should buff out... SeemsGood
"so baby pull me closer to the back seat of your Martin that I know you can't afford..."

Funny thing is, full insurance on high end vehicles (relatively speaking) is cheap!

My friend has 10 yrs + claim free record and pays $5000/yr for a brand new california which is his daily. For reference I pay $3300/yr for a honda :okay:

How do I camber so aggressively like that?

But seriously though, why does it cost $130+k?

It is because of the carbon ceramic disk? Where does the other $100+k come from?

Also you don't NEED carbon ceramic, base model DB9 didn't have it anyways.

Actually, just send it to Liberty Walk, they might have better idea what they can do.

Good thing she didn't buy full coverage or icbc(technically us) will be paying that 132,000 dollar bill.

Thats becuase its not just the brakes that need replacing.

Did you miss the part where the whole front sub frame needs to be replaced. Add up to all the parts on the passenger side to replace (suspension, brakes, rims, tire) + labor. Unless you want damaged parts.. You can tell by the pic in the driveway that the tire is so far back that basically all suspension parts need replacing.

Then you want to install lesser value brakes on a 1of100 vehicle?

Being the only shop that can order "original" parts in vancouver from auston martin, they can charge whatever they want.. cha ching

Although that does seem unfair they pay a very hefty fee yearly to be able to order parts like these

Perhaps the mainlander lady's driving skills are so bad that she hits those brakes hard every time she tries to avoid those large stones in Richmond. :lawl:

That "large" stone near Blundell and Garden City beat her this time. LUL

Hit a large rock while talking on your iphone 7


:pokerface:

She did it wrong.

So after repaired how much would the car be worth? I don't think it would be worth that much more then the cost of repairs.

"To put things into perspective, a pot of the car’s silver paint, which is named after Bond movie Skyfall, chimes in at $900 and a single headlight registers at $7,000."

"Neither of those items, however, form the crux of Liu’s contention, with her focus trained on the cost of a pair of brake rotors ($30,000, plus labour) and a completely new subframe ($25,000, plus labour)."

"To compound her misery, Liu is being dinged $200 a day by BA for storage of the Aston Martin. On Monday, that fee was $18,000."

$81k before labour, suspension components, fender, paint time, additional storage.
