i had once the same story with a brand new BMW . ( few months old ) .Rear ended . I thought is was a write off.....
Now that discussion is between the dealer and insurance inspector.... and they agreed to repair ! I sold the car as is and bought a new one.
But to think about it .... the dealer had 2 options : either sell a new car or make a lot of profit with the repair ? And for the insurance , every penny less was better .....
Sometimes sentimental value is beyond monetary value. If it saved his life, perhaps he wants to return the favor and save its life, no matter the cost.
Story is that the guy lost control (duh) and hit those old guardrails with the cables broadside on the passenger side. He broke through enough poles to go through the cables but they didn't break and the car went under the very very stretched and tensioned cable, when the cable went over the car it did a lot of damage to the glass and roof area. The left side damage may have come before or after the guard rail fiasco. My friend says it was an 88 S4 with about 40K miles on it, the pics are from 1991. ALL the stuff came from the dealer
Sounds like Jeff Spicoli may have been driving this 928.
