I have a 92 with 150k miles. koni shocks, eibach springs, aftermarket headers (cant tell what manufacturer though), high flow cats, afermarket exhaust (again have no idea what manufacturer), some cone intake, flawless interior and very tastefully done red carbon fibre on interior panels, and a pioneer dvd + gps system (very, very nice).
its been in two accidents that were not my fault. i cant seem to avoid people running into me for some reason. both accidents did not affect the frame at all.
i had a cosmetic mishap when i first got the car that i took a claim out to fix.
so anyway, my insurer, Travellers, DROPPED me. apparently they have one of the strictest under writing guidelines. no more than 3 accidents in 5 years, REGARDLESS OF FAULT.
When I first got this car, it was definitely doable budget wise with insurance only $75 a month. Since then, its climbed to $147 a month. Now that I've been dropped, I've shopped around and the best price i can find is $200 a month.
This has been the tipping point. I can no longer "comfortably" afford this car every month. I miss taking my wife out to dinner more often.
Its a shame and its real sad, because this wasnt my fault, i guess its just a sign its time to move on, especially now that i have a son (he's 8 months old)
The problem is, I have no idea what the value of my car is now that its got 2 dings on the history report.
(The car looks spectacular, its in excellent condition.)
I'm worried I will not be able to sell it for at least the pay off amount of the loan.
This is really fucked up and not fair. People come along and smack into you and now your car is not worth nearly as much and you're in the hole debtwise.
