kevin : u cant get a new 1 , let say the car worth 40k, and u pay 20k downpayment, then u accident and claims total lost, insurance wont be paying back the same amount when u buy ur car, means depreciation or in our term we called betterment. Once u get ur approval in claim, u still have to settle the bank's loan. Means approx u got 15k back, things work like that. Parts are expensive when u get 1 by 1. But ur car condition wont get totaled =) Your chassis not badly effected, only roof, windscreen, and some other minor stuff. Drive carefully next time =) .

is that blood there? are you the driver?

FUIYO, so serious leh ur car . Lucky u still ok after that kind of accident ! But it looks like it would not be tat easy to repair that kind of damage as it involve the crumple zone, engine n bodywork! New car some more. Even if you repair it would involve lots of parts n work. I think it wont be tat safe to be driven anymore.

I also hit divider a week ago. but not as serious as u.
Car still at home..not yet repair..

Last time my friend's car also hit divider and went turtle (a Proton Saga). It took about one whole month for him to get back the car.
As for my case, a lady driver hit my car near to the passenger seat. It took 3 days to fix.

dude, you serious ar!

i dunno bout u guys la, but it looks kinda bad to me la ...

with all those aside, just thank whoever you want to, that you are still posting shit here man ...

you everything still attached rite ... nothing missing i hope ...

and yeah bout the insurance, if say you do not agree to the compnsation, you can escalate, or request that they get you a car similiar condition ... but since viva is still new, dont think so ...no use ask so much, call ur insurance fella, talk to him better ..

insurance approved sure dam fast. All money talk here.

wah bro... only waste money repairing the car...
like my friend who also turned his kancil upside down, after repaired got water leaking from the roof

Repair or total lost is up to your insurance company, you can't decide anyway.

By judging at the pictars, I don't think can claim total lost. Some cars are far worse than this.

Your car roof most likely they will ketuk back into shape.

even feel like tin kosong in my viva... but the pic show the viva is strong to handle upside down...
sorry to hear such loss but at least the driver is safe.....
a reminder to all viva out there as well... the car can be easily turn upside down.... drive slow...

it's not blood, it's oil i think....ya i'm the driver.

Im ok bro, just my right hand side bone cracked abit and scalded by airbag, then my gf injured by the seatbelt.

actually how they ketuk balik? use hammer? damn my car cannot see liao.... even repaired i also feel not syok!

yes it is easy to turn up side down, i remember i drive not so fast only edi become like this, but think in other way round, hit like tat we both also not injured so much...i think we should trust malaysia car.

bro..ur car damm serious

the car is not important. money is not important.

just thank god your girlfriend and yourself are still alive. (and thanks to Perodua Viva technology)

dont think about repairing it..not worth the money...

Wah.. it's indeed worst than what i have expected. Even though if somehow the car managed to be repaired, it won't be like original anymore for sure. Because no matter how great the mechanic are, they won't be able to normalize the car's "bone" to 100% which will affected the shape of the car.
Be prepared, the silence in the car when you driving later will probably won't be as quiet as before.

P/S: You seriously should have requested to change to new car.

yep u are right after this accident, i've really changed my perspective on life, i know that family is the most important to me right now...

yea...i hope to get new car too but no money
is it possible to trade in with perodua without let them know i got accident b4?

perodua viva got wat kind of tech...? for me i just consider that is an upgrade from kancil only

One more thing is you should appreciate perodua safety tech that save your life and the life of your passenger... Maybe if you get second car next time, it should be a perodua as well. a token of appreciation to thier safety standards.

Should have request from Insurance before you claim see whether it's possible to change whole car or no instead of repair.
You might able to do that but not if they have an expert mechanic with them to inspect the car, they will know it just by look and few knocks.

Wa viva very tough eh...boleh lawan savy =p
