FTO AUSTRALIA

Had an accident in Lithgow Main street , was driving in the town in a 50km/h zone. drove up a hill and once the car reach the sudden dip down, lost control over the steering, instead of following the curvy road, drove straight into a parked Hilux with tow bar. engine still starts but by the look of it, it will be a write off. weather was very bad and cops said its an accident prone junction.

my question is, will i be able to get the car back after claiming the insurance( buy it off their hand before they get rid of it) as i have a lot of parts i want to keep/pull out. i might consider to get another FTO and swap everything in.

is it worth the trouble?

anyone had experience in this please enlighten me

That suck mate I have no idea on that topic as of yet (finger crossed) good luck

Unlucky man.

depends on who you insured with, Im with Shannons and they have a buy back offer if the car is written off

Noooooo!

I feel for you man. Are you alright?

Oh no, thats so sad.

I hope my ECU didnt give you bad luck

.

I was surprised as well,was worried how much damage i had cost on the other car, not so after that when my vision showed Hilux on the ute

i know, i just want to get some stuffs back now. my haltech, struts etc and personal belongings.

sh*t happens, lucky no one was injured

sh*t not good at all mate .
It's good to know you are ok.

sh*t dude, sorry to hear.
at least if you can buy that off NRMA there seems to be a lot salvagable, even the wheels and strut braces look good, suspension etc

sh*t dude that's really unlucky I feel for you, hope you ok?
