Same here. I haven't seen the car in person. Is it loud?

[jing]

Just received a call from Surrey RCMP (go figure). Car's been stripped apparently but I'm not sure to what extent though the wheels are definitely missing. Tough luck to the thieves trying to sell them as there are only a handful of sets of my (old) wheels in North America

Most of us are refering to "stolen parts" from the vehicle since its been stripped. So wat we mean is, eye out for "stolen parts" in richmond and ubc area etc.

Of course I read the thread.. Even if the car is parted out already, the rims aren't that hard to miss since they're not even common, and are probably worth more than the car itself, as noted by you. If I do see your rims, i'll make sure to spot them and notify you asap.

Stop jumping yourself into conclusions....

[greendb7]

My buddy has a red S13 as well, he was drooling over your fitment at the RS summer meet. Will definately keep an eye out for parts, can't be hard to miss at all. Sorry about the shitty situation.

[jing]

Went into the claim center today to have a look at my car and to talk to the estimator and adjuster. Car is mostly intact except for my wheels, spacers, stereo, and gauges. My kit was damaged in a number of places from the crackhead(s) trying to jack the car up. I'd imagine they had a bit of trouble though given it's ride height, lol. Exhaust also had several nice dents in it and the fuel tank had a massive dent in it. Locks were punched, door handle was nearly torn off, sunroof was removed as well. Doesn't look good, but it's time to move on and get something newer. Time to deal with ICBC now.

Keep an eye out for these stolen parts..

sorry to hear about that, I liked your car =(

[DiiCii]

fuck, you're car was one unique s13 :( get another! where was it found? and was it still on jacks at the time? maybe the crackheads are from that area..

[gloors]

Damn that sucks... :( your s13 was my motivation to getting one once again D::okay: Will keep a look out for those parts

Truth. I had really hoped the 240 community to have better heart than that.

Also pretty low of you to try to advertise a part out of OP's car in his own stolen thread buddy.

[kouki_monster]

Something about icbc saying no buy back in his write off deal, not sure. So he had a friend bid for him to try to get SOMETHING back since icbc pretty much jew'd him.

Hey I didn't know if he was aware of what was going on with it. I've never had a car written off so I have no clue how it all works, I thought it might be helpful in case he or a friend want something from it. I barely know Josh, I just know he got the car.

[Alby]

^ you should tell your buddy josh to have a heart and sell it back to jing at the cost he paid for it.

[Death2Theft]

240's are kinda like hondas now in that so many ppl swapping parts out of them.
Whats the prob bro? Icbc paid you and u got a plenty fast daily.
Why are you trying to mess with the system by having a "buddy" buy a car you agreed not to buy back?

Ignorance is bliss, though I highly doubt that he had no idea about the car's history seeing as he had originally posted in my thread and then quickly edited his post once his shop name was revealed. Buying parts back from my *own* car? Ha! Me buying my car back would've just meant me recovering some more of my losses, whereas your buddy Josh buying the car means several thousand in his pocket. I understand that he won it fair and square, but jewing someone in the process just isn't right.

ICBC paid me roughly 2/3 the going rate of similar 240s on the market. You can try and point fingers at me for "trying to mess with the system" all you want but I think it's safe to say that anyone forced into the same situation would only try and do the same, and for the record, I was never given the option to buy it back nor was I given the option to swap back all the stock parts.

[C-unit]

did you request to buy the car baack though? because most of the time icbc will not give you the option because auctioning the car means more money in icbc's pocket. You'll have to request of buying the car back. I guess it is too late now but should keep this in mind. I guess try Pm josh to see if he'll sell you the car back for couple hundred more. Good luck.

[jing]

Yes, and the request was denied.

[C-unit]

That sucks.....what a bitch..

[shenmecar]

Yes, and the request was denied.

that is so not cool.

[Glove]

I think its completely fucked up that icbc can just nab your car and take all your parts and pay you shit all for them,

isnt it YOUR CAR? seems like every car on the road belongs to icbc, eventhough you paid for it.

Read dumbass, I barely know the guy. I only know that he got the car (saw pics and asked where it was from), I had no knowledge of the OP's issues with trying to get the car back. My bad for trying to be helpful on RevScene...

Don't complain to me, I only know the guy from buying parts from him. If you have a problem with him, or how he runs his business take it up with him cause I have nothing to do with it.

i understand your side of this but to be honest, it doesn't take much more than common sense to realize OP is trying to recover his stolen vehicle in a thread about his vehicle being stolen. makes sense, yes?

his car was stolen, it was recovered, then sold (by ICBC I presume). He already knows where it is and who has it.

You can accept icbc's terms/payment and not be a sneaky bitch trying to buy the car back under a "buddy" OR you can not accept icbc payment and keep the car as it was found.
ICBC does not own your car. Really simple.

[cho]

sorry im not totally clear on this,

but if you get your car stolen, theres pretty much nothing you can do asides from pouring money to get it back/keep it?

[satek]

From what I heard. You must not sign anything until ICBC gives you what you ask for.

[underscore]

I know he does, I'm not sure what for. Maybe if he PM'd me telling me what he wants it for I might help him out, but considering his previous attitude and the fact that Josh has helped me out in the past...

If you want to get a hold of him here's a craigslist ad I found

[jing]

There's a saying in Chinese which I believe is appropriate for this situation. 好心做壞事 (hao xin zuo huai shi), which can be loosely translated as having a good intention to do a bad thing. I understand that you were merely trying to help at first, but advertising parts off what was my own car is like getting kicking someone when they're already down.

You can accept icbc's terms/payment and not be a sneaky bitch trying to buy the car back under a "buddy" OR you can not accept icbc payment and keep the car as it was found.
ICBC does not own your car. Really simple.

I was forced to accept what ICBC thought was appropriate compensation for my losses because the car was going to be sent off to salvage that same day. I made the mistake of signing the CL-96 salvage release form which essentially surrendered my rights of ownership of the vehicle to ICBC because I hadn't looked over the fine print. This mistake is what cost me and in an effort to mend my wounds I had no other option than to attempt to win the car back at the salvage auction. Once I signed my car away, than ICBC took ownership of my car. Really simple.

sorry im not totally clear on this,

but if you get your car stolen, theres pretty much nothing you can do asides from pouring money to get it back/keep it?

Depends on the situation. If it's a write off, don't sign anything until the price has been negotiated. I consider myself lucky that they gave me an extra $1500 after their initial offer, seeing as I had already signed it away.

From what I heard. You must not sign anything until ICBC gives you what you ask for.

Correct.

I know he does, I'm not sure what for. Maybe if he PM'd me telling me what he wants it for I might help him out, but considering his previous attitude and the fact that Josh has helped me out in the past...

Sentimental value.

Dude, you weren't aware of the background the car now has and that's cool, but regardless of the situation it would have been common sense not to post that. Now, you have a chance to redeem yourself and help Jing out and instead you bring JoshB back into the equation.

Way to kick a guy when he's down.

My thinking was as follows:

I know his car was recovered.
I know it got sold as I saw the post purchase pics
Since it was sold, he must have taken ICBC's offer
Since it was sold, he may not know where it went
He or his friends may still want something from the car, despite having taken ICBC's offer for whatever reason
I'll let him know that I know where it is, in case of the above statement.

I apologize that my post came across the wrong way, but there is no way I could have possibly known things about the car that were not posted here. Why should I care about redeeming myself to someone whose first reaction was to bitch at me for things I had no knowledge of?

Moral of the storey dont be a dumbass and read the fine print before you sign anything. OP has a faster DD anyways so no big deal.
