Camaro under 6 feet of water :-( - Page 9 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Went and got the license plates off of it last night. Had to say my final goodbye, as they were coming today to tow it away. Opened the glove box to get the registration, and a waterfall of water poured out.

Man, that just sucks. I don't know what else can be said about that.

c_LoW29 · 03-03-2011, 09:24 AM

i think I would cry so hard!!!! Did you get GAP insurance

toesuf94 · 03-03-2011, 09:27 AM

Sorry for the loss...but the good news is GM will build you another one and you get to start from ZERO miles again!

Same cannot be said for the guy with the Saturn Sky behind you...irreplacable with a new one.

Good luck with a new one...keep us posted. Sorry for your loss.

n2oSS · 03-03-2011, 09:28 AM

you ask what they wanted for it, it its cheap enough you could make a little cash strippin a few useable parts and selling.

SATXLS3 · 03-03-2011, 09:30 AM

As far as the salvage goes- it's worth many thousands in parts and should not be rebuilt. Any flood vehicle submerged "over the dash" equils nothing but trouble if repairs are attempted.
IMO as a long time ins adjuster.

On my last loss I had my agent talk to claims and it was adjusted up, I had additional info and a reasonable reason for such......sure would not hurt to have some info to discuss settlement with them and you would then know if the offfer is fair.....if your agent is a person on the end of a tele line you may be out of luck..

but I have had good luck talking to claims also as they have some wiggle room...you have to have info to back up your request not just a please raise the value...check dealers to get a value range and then you are not just hoping for a good settlement...

good luck, I hope you get a new ride out of this, but as in all losses it will cost you something....with gas heading up they may be dealing on SS in a month or so??

yikes that really sucks. Hopefully you'll be able to get the exact same car or better in the end.

heRS · 03-03-2011, 10:00 AM

That's a heartbreaker, so sorry! I hope your insurance plays fair with you.

Shrek · 03-03-2011, 10:05 AM

Im down in Columbus, I saw all that on the news. Totally sucks man. Hope you get a new one

SFC5 · 03-03-2011, 10:07 AM

I hope your insurance company steps up and does right by you. At least now you have more Camaro options!
