RIP old friend

[DarkHelmet]

My 2006 a4 s-line was side swipped hit and run this week. Insurance is writing it off :(

Sad day.





From better days

[Snowboardguy989]

Ill pour one out later... Getting another B7?

[DarkHelmet]

Thanks Snowboardguy, Probably not another Audi. I'm in the middle of a divorce and no money :( I am just hoping that the insurance payout will be a bit more than what I had left on my loan.

[Theiceman]

soooooo..... about that buying it back and parting it out plan :)

[p0isin]

Ugh, sorry to hear about the car. That sucks man. Best of luck with the next one.

[Copen-cisco]

Oh man. Divorce and hit by hit n' run. Good luck with all.

[IronAudi]

buy the car back and replace the tail light. Save you from another car payment

[drewgold]

Sorry to hear. Such a bummer.

[Los Cuentos]

so regrettable Hope you find something new

[Axis]

Sorry to hear, I would buy it back. Try to source two doors shells, a fender, rear bumper and an outer tail light from a salvage yard or part out for now.

Break a leg

[vortexjunkie]

Sorry to see this! I know how you feel when it comes to the car... I would honestly keep the car and just slowly fix it like the guys said above. Nothing structural looks to be harmed.

BTW I know a guy that has an entire ocean blue pearl car that is being wrong dismantled very soon😉. Let me know if you want the front fender and door skins!

[IronAudi]

depending on the damage he may just be able to replace the bumper and the light if he wants to go cheapy cheap

Dont you wish the insurance would totally out wifey and pay her off .....

[DarkHelmet]

Thanks for all the support. Right now, I don't think I have the mental bandwidth to take on the repair of the car. Add that I am renting a room in a house where I don't have any garage access. Buying it back and rebuilding is not an option for me right now. If it wasn't for the divorce. Sure I would definitely consider that. Too much work for me right now. Will probably take the little extra I got an pick up a cheap 2 year lease car to get me through all the divorce process. New car, less maintenance, etc... etc..

Hope someone benefits from the salvager parting out or rebuilding.

My biggest fear whenever I have to park on the side of the street. Thankfully it's rare.

[2pointOh]

Its that rear quarter panel thats a bitch.. welded in and runs the length of the car. Makes a repair on your own veeeryyy difficult (impossible)

[QuattriumMT6]

^this. My hit and run damage (same area except on the right rear) was running me close to $5-6k in repairs through insurance. I was informed that due to the way that panel was installed from factory it is more cost effective to repair the current fender damage rather than replace it completely.
