thanks anyways

So sorry to hear about this dude. At first I skipped over the thread thinking it wasn't one of the members here until I saw another one of your posts saying your car is gone....
Always admired your IS, definitely the nicest one I've seen locally

Best of luck with ICBC

sorry to hear bro..weird how i can say i know the feeling :alone:

if it's a rebuilt, prepare to get NOWHERE what you expected.. that devalues the car 40-50% already =/

I don't know with ICBC he might luck out. My friend bought a rebuilt civic for 8K years ago. It was stolen 3 months later and ICBC gave him 13 grand.

Damn...............=(

Damn Aleks! I'm so sorry to hear that bro. I'm glad you were injured and thank god for no oncoming vehicles. That could have been much worse or even lethal if that were the case. I wope everything works our for you in the end. And don't let ICBC try to fuck you over

Thanks guys :(

Here are some recent photos

! that blows dude. Car was very clean, sorry for your loss

Doesn't look that bad (assuming nothing in the rear). I had a similar accident a year ago to my drivers side (little more worse) and it cost $6000 in repairs.

The suspension and steering assembly is wrecked.
It's hard to tell from the pics. The repairs are over 10k now but I told them to do a more detailed estimate.

will they allow you to take mods thats are still in good condition off?

The only thing I could take off is the stereo. I'll be selling that this week.
Got a call from ICBC today. They found the other party 100% at fault

thats good to hear at least

So I guess I have two options left:

Buy out the car for $$ and be left with $$
Or
Take whatever ICBC estimates it at (good chance they'll undervalue so I'll have to argue with them on the amount)

Depending on how much I can buy the car back, I just might do it.
Use the money to buy something else, and slowly rebuild my old car into a mean machine.

all the best

Keep us updated with your decision!

I'll start up a build thread once I get the car.
It's def a project.

did you get a fair price from icbc?

Ya pretty fair. It was below my expectations but above my low ball fear. So they met right in the below while I still pulled stuff off the car.
Sucks I can't take off the new sways, rotors and brakes because I don't have the old stock ones.

Do it. Shout out to RS, they might link back to this thread haha.
