Default RIP ED, here comes XR6 Turbz

Hi guys,

Just wanted to share my sadness and joy at recent events. Sadly last Saturday night my ED Manual Falcon got written off due to a lady running up my backside at a red light, which then pushed me into a brand new Rav 4. Not happy!!! $5600 worth of damage and only $3200 back from the insurance company, i went searching for my next car.

By chance i found my new car-a 2004 XR6 turbo 5-spd manual sedan. The car has done 16,100 kms and i paid $24,990 for it. I pick it up tomorrow and i cant wait. I will post pics when i can. Did i get a good buy or what???

Excellent buy, looks like you made back your $2400.

WTF is going on, this is the 3rd prang I've heard of like this in the last month.
Mine was one of them ( see a previous post).
Exactly the same, sitting at a red light and some dozey woman run up the back of me wrote off my sons Corolla and took out 3 other cars.

So you have my condolences, I know what you're going thru, all the hassle of phone calls, filling out forms, making reports, looking for another car, Doctors visits etc.

Sounds like you've landed on your feet, so thats good, hope your new car brings you better luck.
