I think unbelievable sums it up. The whole story is unbelievable. Wrapping your car around a tree doesn't mean your insurance company doesn't pay. If you have collision coverage insurance pays no matter what you hit. And 120 K to fix it !!!! Please. If the OP can afford to drive a Bentley with only Liability coverage he doesn't need to know what his wrecked car is worth, he can just drive the Rolls until the Bentley gets fixed.

i had it towed to symbolic motors and the guy called me when it was still on the flat bed and said he didnt see the point in even taking it off, that it looked like 120k in damage, so I had it towed again to another shop recommended to me by a friend. The guy I spoke with had an accent of English or maybe Australian origin, his name was Lee. if you want you can call and verify this Im sure.

i think if i was going to troll, i could make up a better story than that. i will post more photos with the estimate from the place i had it towed to when i get a chance.

oh and btw im driving the continental sedan until it gets fixed so how bout them apples, :P



**normally i would gloat via pm when someone says im trolling, but I dont have 15 posts yet

Unless there is frame damage that is not over 25K, even less without going new OEM parts. Heck I would buy the car straight out from you and I am in SD and fix it personally. I could make a killing on it.

But I think this is a weird post.

What you really need is an attorney, with even basic coverage avoiding a pedestrian should be covered by any policy.

My guess is 25% parts, 25% labour and 50% total screwing. The dealer just wants to sell you a new one and give nothing on trade knowing full well they can repair the car and sell for profit or reduce to parts for the same $. I could be wrong however and they are completely honest and altruistic.

Sorry i am a cynic.

I would just fix it myself. Anything can be repaired with the right parts, tools and knowhow.

That's pretty funny for some of us.

I'm a dentist and could easily turn a $50k job into $70K one Telling me to fix my own Bently is like me telling you to restore your own tooth.

Dental implants right?

No I'm not a "real doctor". After moving here in 1988 I first heard the title tooth dentist?????As opposed to foot dentist or heart dentist???? So ya'll are implying i'm a cooter dentist?
