As a follow up to my video recorded on Mon, Nov 20, 2023; this is part two where I explain what happened after the car was initially stolen on Fri, Nov 17, 2023. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
How do you not able to find parts for a Crown Vic??? There are probably a dozen of them at any given junk yard!!??
@VitaliyKofman There's no doubt I probably could have found parts at a junk yard. The problem was that at that point, I was frustrated, tired of dealing with the whole thing, and (I'm a little ashamed to admit it) LAZY!
As much as I pay for insurance, I didn't feel I should have to do my own leg work. That's what the body shops are for. Or so I thought. Had I gotten my own parts at a salvage yard, would insurance have covered the cost, or would they only cover OEM new-- of which they claimed there were none out there?
I know you took a lot of pride in your Lincoln Town Car and (did you own a Crown before that? I don't remember); but when I saw all I had to deal with, and what little insurance was willing to pay to fix it, versus what they offered to total it-- going for a replacement car seemed like a no-brainer.
Though, at times I am sorry I didn't do better to defend my Vic. I miss the car, but maybe not enough to have tried harder to save it. Sad, but true.
Thanks John for the update.
Glad everything worked out in your favor.
Take care.
PS…how’s your knee doing?
Much better. I can’t believe how fast this one is healing, compared to the right one (back in 2021).
I think there were more bone spurs and other complications that the surgeon had to work harder on.
This one was simpler and more straightforward. Thanks for asking.
One hell of an ordeal. Those shops are just about as helpful as the undesirables that stole the car in the first place. Sorry that happened but glad you got a decent replacement.
Yes you’re right. It was almost two months of one phone call after another. Thank you for your support. I’m just glad I’m past that point in my life.
Mechanics are all but gone. Parts changers is 90% of the "Technicians" out there.
Sorry you had to go through it!!! As a former Town Car owner - your story is a total BS that insurance + shops put you through!
Yes, I do agree. It did seem like the shops gave up awfully easily. And the insurance made it irresistible to have it totaled.
I know exact numbers are my personal business, but I'll share them anyway, just to drive my point home.
$3,200 was what insurance was offering to try to fix the car. $10,000 was what they were offering to total it out and let me get a replacement car.
