The parts were in fact mine....being sent back to the dealer.
insurance changed the estimate to over $9,000 in repairs and is totaling the car.
the shop has gotten frustrated with me because insurance has had him order the parts and send them back twice, incurring a restock fee both times... After they finalized the total loss, the shop emailed me a copy of the bill they owe him for storage and restock fees of over $7,000...
I'm sick of dealing with this so I'm just gonna take it and buy the car back.
Engine/transmission are staying with me, and being shoved in my already LS swapped Sonoma... and I'm just going to part the car out, figure there's a few thousand dollars worth of good parts..
Unfortunately the shop quoted me upwards of $14,000 for repairs over the phone if I bought it back from insurance because they approved repairs that included cutting the trunk/rear body panel out of the car... shop owner said he could have repaired the floor pan and just put a new impact bar and new bumper cover on it for like $3000
Also unfortunately the G8 has turned into the new dodge charger in the states, being bought up by low IQ and even lower credit score delinquents doing "slide shows" prices on well cared for and not trashed cars with the same options as mine are getting absurd IMO.
So I've decided I'm just going to wait a few months save up some cash and Upgrade to a VF / Chevy SS, lower miles and better taken care of cars are around $29-35,000.
