whoa... de damage r bad... if they din totalled ur car... it would easily take at least half a year to get all the claims as well as ur car fix... and i said minimum half a year...

sumore u r saying engine block cracked... how can u reregister? unless u r claiming a new engine that is...

btw, sayang... a new car crashed till that bad... isK~ but nothing cost more than life... treasure life...

got la..EFI, DVVT, ABS, EBD, AIRBAGS etc

Yo bro..long time no chat with u alr. U accident ah? That Viva is ur car? U ok or not?

Insurans nowaday quite fast claim also(Depend which company). So now is repair process alr? I think better sell off after knocking. lol...

actually i dunno anything about car insurance things, i just let them do only....they said the car u look at it, is very bad, but actually it's not that bad wo...the things have to change is windscreen, both door screen, a side mirror, rooftop, bonnet, bumper and engine block...the front chassis got abit affected but can be repair, i ask them chassis can be repair one meh? then they said can ah....just replace a new one to the affected area lo...(got such things ga? ) they said a car chasis actually is combined by several chassis, just to replace on the affected area...

I also dunno why have to register, i think it involve on engine part also need register? actually what is engine block ah??

ya bro im fine now, it is my car lo
i scare cannot sell off le after accident.... can teach me what to do? if u guys will u guys sell it??

actually i doesnt took long to get repair if u got the spare part.last time i crashed my jazz and hav 2 wait for new gearbox to arrive.u know long it took to finish?6 month

The important u r fine. What parts need to replace. Depends on ur loan also if wanna sell off. If cant covered the lost just drive it 1st. See got any problem after repair. If fine then no need change 1st. So sad to see that.

may i know how fast were u travel when u hit the divider

I guess the sales agent is trying to avoid getting a new car for you cause that will claimed a large amount from the insurance company and means they will lose money instead of suppose to earn money from you.
Then the agent probably got some "jalan" with the sub car repair shop that this "big repair" claims which still cheaper than changing car claims will definitely make some money between those 2 party which involved.
(This is only my thought but it might be true. We won't know.)
Suppose from the things to be changed as mentioned, it's nearly like changing a half cut of the car already which will reduced the safety of your car in future when driving. (Original whole body and remounted bone got very big differences.)

If it need to register, could it means the engine is totally replaced with new one?

For me, i would try to sell it as soon as possible. Otherwise, use it for light purpose only. Not recommended for another accident with that same car. Good luck.

my advice,check ur car throughly after u get back ur car.better bring to any other workshop to check.what happened to me,they change to the non original part of proton and only repair the appearance,some parts they didn't even touch it.

thanks for the advice bros....but i have no budget to change a new car at this moment...
i already decided to use it first see got any problems or not, car only ma just for convenience only, not necessary have to spend alot money on that right? can drive then can lo, i still need to save money to buy house, save money to married and on others things, no matter u drive a sport car or bad car, it also just a 4 tyres to make you move only....i just think like tat to make myself happy abit....

yeah , car is just a transport just that its fast or slow only , your car i think not much problem one , dont worry

Bro, think it's better for you to claim total lost if u dun have confidence in d workshop that's fixing ur car...damage seems pretty bad....
Luckily u n ur gf is alright

If u wanna keep on repairing, u better go and pester those workshop fellas daily or at least once in 2 days time so that they can fix ur car faster
M doing it right not coz car also accident, hit a car in front

That's also advice from my fren coz last time his dad's car door was dented,accident and took the shop for a month to repair that!! it's only like juz change that door only la and repaint it...when his mom's wira was hit front and back (quite bad), the repair only took a month plus coz he chased the workshop everyday after work

Juz my 2 cents

i don't think owner can do that, only the insurance company have the right give total lost.

You can request for total lost from insurance company
That was wat i was told, it's like insurance will 'buy' d car from you, fix it and sell it off...but of coz u'll lose some money la coz insurance won't give u at market price since d car was in a bad shape

thats mean if the damage cost RM10k, the insured value is RM35k. the insurance will only paid RM25k?

Err...m not sure how it does coz as said, it's like the insurance company's buying the car from you...
value, should be like selling ur car at second hand minus the damage cost...

Not sure how it does coz that's wat was told by d shop where i bought my car a year ago

o...

if true it look like will losing more money to claim total lost.

correct me if i'm wrong

Yeah, u'll lose a bit of money in d end but if u wanted ur car to be 'accident free', then request for total lost claim and get a new car then

if your car damage kaw kaw....there is always sign to show..and NOT easy to dispose it to the market.

First of all, thank god you and your gf survived from that accident, secondly, about the car, I personally had a accident before, driving 120km/h hit divider but my car didn't turtle. My car had a lot of problems even after repairing, I totally think it's the mechanic's fault, they are so unprofessional and ah beng ah beng style one. Now they have made my car even worse than ever before.

So in my humble opinion, if you don't want to spend money on buying a new car, at least try to get a good and experienced mechanic. Pricier a bit never mind lar as long as they know what they are doing.
