With a stock ITR worth so much nowadays how can ICBC just hand over a cheque for like $12K if one gets written off? There is data to support the high prices and if ICBC isn't up on that then they are shit outta luck. Aren't you suppose to get what the car is worth in the open market at the time of a write-off? The idea is for an insurance company to give you enough money to replace the car that was totalled. If stock ITR's are worth over $20K well then that's what you would expect to get. Mods or not. Since ICBC only covers up to $5K in aftermarket mods and anything over that needs a separate policy you should STILL walk away with a big cheque due to the current market value. I'm surprise that they consider it the same as every other Integra.
ICBC tried offering my $16K for mine a couple years ago, I said fuck off, they approved the claim which was north of $10K for them and ended up being more like $14K after fuck ups. I'm slightly different in the sense that I'm under a Garage Policy which makes every vehicle "declared value". That means that as long as you have receipts showing that your $10K car is worth $50K then there's no problem.
Still though, Phat_R didn't wave a magic wand to get it done, he just talked to the right adjuster, explained him self and woolah!, a repair order was issued. Lucky for him the cage took the brunt of the impact which may saved the frame rails and shock towers from being tweaked.
