They make more on used cars then on new cars,believe it or not...there is more room to help him out with a used car....the dealer can find one through is dealer trade system.....I really do not understand why people think that that he is owed anything more than what he had....period....If the pay out is close enough to the cost of a new one,say 3k then by all means give him a new one..good luck i dont see it happening,but who knows maybe all of this might allow him to get over on it..(i think that would be fine,as long as the thief has to pay for it in jail time,that's my issue with this)I am going to tell you the some more truth...the OP that used to own the ZL1 only makes 9 bucks a hr..and that why he is doing all of this because he knows that he will never have the cash again to get another one....at least that's what he told me(not sure if its a sad story)....he traded his cars so he could get it...so maybe some of you guys that are so big on him getting another will help pay for it if it means so much to you...me i am more worried about kids going hungry in this country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate to sound cold about it,but its a insurance settlement period,if he wanted to get new apples for 2 yr old apples then he should of had the brains to purchase collectors insurance that pays replacement value for the car,not used value which is what 99% of most people get on street driven cars...

We get what your saying again and again about how little they make but this doesn't change the fact the the dealership owner needs to eat this one because now he's lost way more then that in bad PR and public opinion. The business lost and now shady reputation is far more damning then the 53kish he should have eaten right off to make things right. Before you get all mighty again for most of us here it's not about his 53kish car being totaled it's the situation and how it's been handled if you were in the car owners seat you'd expect what we're all chastising the dealership owner for aswell. Easier way of explaining make it right with the car owner and deal with the theif after would've been the best way to deal with it they can still comp the insurance afterwards anyway for this.

Thought you would like to see what is said about the purchase of a wreck ZL1 and how its posted to sell!!! this is what the headline said....They are asking 33k for the car..the whole body is twisted,the dash is uneven,the rear deck lid is uneven,the right side of the car is even twisted,the body is pretty much unfix-able..the only way this car could be worth 33k is if it stayed in this condition in the a/c for maybe 50 yrs,and a mint ZL1 became worth 300k,lol savage yards are just freaking nuts...its worth maybe 20k at best.....yes it starts,,: this is posted on ebay !!!!
You are looking at an awesome, like-new, low-mile, and rare, 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, the fastest Camaro ever produced. On a good note; This Camaro starts and lot drives and there is no visible damage to the motor or the power train. The interior is in great shape, all original and very clean. It comes with weather tech all-weather rubber floor mats, owner's manuals, and original window sticker. The driver's front, side and curtain airbags deployed. The headliner is fine and can be re-used This Camaro has everything and is equipped with the ZL1 options which include Sport Bucket Seats with Interior Sueded Microfiber Launch Control Performance Traction Management System Magnetic Ride Suspension Navigation Boston Premium Audio 20" Premium Wheels with Performance Tires Automatic HID Headlamps Brembo Brakes Power Sunroof Quad Exhaust System Rear Spoiler Not to mention a mind blowing, 580HP 6.2L Supercharged LSA V8 Motor with 6-Speed Automatic Transmission and much more... In a nutshell; this Camaro is almost new, and is the most powerful production Camaro ever made. It is an excellent project whether you are building for your self, re-sale or especially if you are looking to customize or race. The sticker price on this Camaro was over $61,000.00 Take advantage of our LOW PRICE and buy with confidence. You will not be disappointed.

They replaced the drivers side door? Why not put on a set of fenders while they are at it.
Edit: that's not Mr. Hooper's car.

Right up until small town politics, a donation to the mayors campaign, to the state policemans ball, and a promise of future support if all this goes away..... Sometimes you have to shine a bright light into the dark corners and hope you can deal with what crawls out. |

Not OPs fault at all, and you arent very considerate of other people it sounds like. If you were in this situation, im sure you would have handled it the same way or even worse. Ignorant.

Crapshoot
It's all a crapshoot either way it was handled poorly by the dealership i'm not claiming to be an expert on insurance but when i went thru a falling tree on the highway during sandy thank god it was only the fender and some scratches the other guy couldn't miss it and his car was totaled the insurance took all of 3 days from report to claim finalization. The place i took it to not so much on the repair time... What i'm getting at with a high profile meaning on the local and now national news case like this insurance doesn't need to wait for a police report to act. It's criminal mischief and grand theft auto among probably 4 or 5 others things vandalism, clear unsafe operation of a vehicle etc. But they have all the details they don't need some piece of paper from a man in dark blue to move forward. Why the dealership owner went this route is anyones guess but he dropped a match on a can of jet fuel when he could've cleaned it up and i know the OP could've handled it differently but he's under duress clearly with this anyone would be so as long as he doesn't spew to much more of anything else he'll be fine. The dealership is screwed after the mishandling of this and the police department is clearly local yocal buddy buddy with the places owner i'm making this assesment solely based on their foot dragging.

This is a sad but yet fascinating post. I wish you the best on this case.
I might have over looked this in all of the pages, but have you contacted and had any satisfaction with the GM customer service department? Also have the state police been contacted about this case? If the local cannot help, then the state should.

I don't agree with you at all. I've worked at a dealer for 10 years and your points are irrelevant. What does making much money on a ZL1 have to do with anything? From a dealerships insurance perspective it is a drawn out process as I've been through it multiple times. Sometimes the dealership is told by the insurance we will handle this keep your mouth shut. I do know that it's a hard situation to be in. I see the numbers from an internal perspective and that $60k will take that dealer over a year to pay off. I work for a corporate dealer and manage a service dept. of 25 employees. Our dept. doesn't know if it will make money until the last 2-5 days of the month because of fixed expenses. We also have most of our cars that cost that amount if not double. Most of the time the insurance pays over what the customer would normally get.
