It is unbelievable! I had passed the 99EB to my daughter a couple months ago. It was well maintained and safe.
Daughter going to college class 3 nights ago and gets run into in intersection. Neither driver was hurt.
Adjuster came out and totaled the Explorer. Blue Book at dealer is $7000.00 they figured it was $5000.00 to fix and are offering me $5600.00 buy out.
There was slight damage to 1 Wheel and tire as well. The kicker was the Post between the Driver Door and the front fender it is what caused the excess expense.
Other car was a Honda CRV
Both of us are insured by same company. There has been no final decision on full responsibility. In Arizona there is a law called "Comparative Negligence". This is where somehow they determine the percentage of responsibility. 80/20, 70/30, 50/50.
Here is the big one... This happened in a Parking lot, 10mph speed limit, no stop signs and my daughter was in the middle of the intersection when hit. No police report, they do not respond to private property.
Sorry just venting! It will be very hard to find another car for her to drive in that price range that is safe and has been well taken care of.
