So last Friday, my wife was moving my car off the street into our driveway, was hit by another driver. :(
2013 Kia Sorento SX, 80,000 miles.
Just talked to insurance today, they reviewed the dashcam footage, other driver 100% at fault, they’re cutting me a check for $13,204.
So now what? I wasn’t prepared to shop for a car. I was HAPPY with my car. I had upgraded the infotainment system to one with dash, rear, and turn signal cameras. Android Auto/Apple Car Play. Heated seats with a ventilated drivers seat.
Really, since my heart attack, I only drive one day a week anyway, but it was nice to be able to just up and go somewhere.
Advice on suv’s from other brands? Nothing against Kia but given the crazy theft problems, I’d like to avoid insurance complications.
Bonus: Dashcam video: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ja6kz0qrs7n8la0tb4eeu/231027213507.MOV?rlkey=4makjmacebv83j65ivkhmuj8n&dl=0
13k and for a little bit of damage to the bumper you could probably fix this your self in an afternoon or prehaps depending on your states or countrys laws continue to use the car in its current state although that’s probably a bad idea I’m not a mechanic although this to me doesn’t look like a writeoff
It’s deeper than that, there’s suspension, axel, wheel and tire damage.
Ah as I said I’m no mechanic
