Although repaired, any vehicle with serious collision damage won't ever be the same again.
Worst case, if you are involved in another accident. Watch below posted video!

Okay, owner replied this to me just now:

Option 2 doesn't compensate anything in cash

10:19am
Me

meaning you buy the same brand new vehicle

Option 3 is buy my car at market value
so if market value is less than my existing loan balance, then I have to bear the cost
all the accessories that I bought for my car will be wasted

Option 2 is to overtrade my car with another USED unit

which means should I decide to sell that car next time, it will be considered as third hand car.

option 3 is the 1 easy to deal but u need to bare to lost of resell value.

maybe take option 2, but ask MMM to label it as 'refurbished car' instead? at least the price wont drop that much...

to be honest i think this time around they did deal with this problem responsibly , so i guess to bare a few k of lost is always better than to bare tens of thousands of lost

Value drop only if it's disclsoed the car had an accident before. If no one say anything no one will know.
It's not fair to pass judement on the extent of damage, we are not qualified loss adjusters.

their offer to repair for me is fair enough, shit happens. your luck lah sometimes.

This is already excellent from MMM. No need to go all out to smear them

Elizabeth Chai Pei Shin?

Bro you must be kidding me , you dont even know how to check if the car is accident free by checking the front frame of the car ? no one would take a 2nd hand car with previous accident record , hence the price is lower . no one is smearing MMM hell we dont even need to smear you can go see mmm fb page its full of complain now . i just wonder if you are working for MMM

honestly i don't i'm not an engineer or loss adjuster, how would i know

u dont need to be an engineer to know that its a general knowledge bro...

that why option 3 is the worry free like owner also know will have this issue.

option 3 only u need to bare the lost coz versus with current car value.

good side: u get the accuse to change new car.

what general knowlegde, car is car, it looks ok means ok lah.

lol... this theory only works for chicks bro.. not for you ...

Now u just trolling...

Rcracer, if your car involves in an accident by a technician, then it will be my pleasure to say good luck in settling the case fair and square. But bear in mind you will suffer the consequences of loss(since you're so rich and don't mind about shit happens), safety of you and your family has been compromised with the car safety and structure itself is in no good shape to withstand future damage and alot of maintenance cost to be bear in the near future.

I'm not wishing you bad luck. But since this is what your mentality sets on, there's no point in arguing to a guy like you who don't understand about what other experienced. No pun intended.

for me it's repairable, no big deal only front end damage

MMM anyways offer to take back the car, so if cannot accept then sell back to them lah

or take the second hand option of another most probable accident repaired car and bring your k mechanics here to check for you.

the pajero VGt is built on ladder frame rails that runs parallel to each other, these are the main load breaing structures, the damage runs between them directly, not on the chasis, front ends are meant to absorb impacts anyways so they crumple.

point is, the owners actions will determine how MMM handles customers cars from now on, my guess is, there will be no more test drives unless owner present, so good luck getting big problems fixed

If the car is repaired well, I don't think i will know it's been in an accident before just by looking at the frame. Sorry, I'm just a common man on the street, not a car enthusiast.

If I'm the owner, I'll take Option 3. There's no way I'll drive back the repaired car.

If its only a minor dent i oso dun mind la... But u can see how deep the front end cave in, for shure the damage is serious n extensive... Damage from accident can be covered cosmetically but u dunno wat damage it does structurally. The stress / crack it made frame, only way to check is by laser alignment / xray.


Sure, after it is fixed it will looks new like nothing happened. But u might never know what problem brewing in it problem such as steerin wheel shaking, car cant be aligned properly, high speed instability etc.


Which is the reason why market price for used car wit istory of accident, even a minor one, is markedly low with the one without

then take up the offer of getting a secondhand car which also probably was bought back by MMM or give up the car to MMM

there is still way out
