Will a total loss be repaired as good as new or will problems remain?
Hello,
I know someone who had an accident with an AMG (car got out of control) (the entire right side was damaged, total loss) but he was fully insured and the car was bought used directly from Mercedes
If the car is repaired, will it still cause problems, or will it be like new?
I'm somehow worried that the car won't have full power anymore, will be slower, will cause more problems, etc.
If the car is repaired professionally, it is also as new – if it is repairable, a spoiled frame would be a very big problem.
But:
The insurance examines whether an economic total damage is present, i.e. whether the repair would be more expensive than the purchase of a comparable used car – if that is the case, only the amount to be applied for a comparable replacement vehicle is paid.
but if you are fully insured you get all the worth of the car or how?
The recovery value.
Oh man.
Let’s take the $50,000 you called as a value for an equivalent car.
The accident has a value of 18,000€. You can sell this car for 18,000€. So stay 32,000€ to the equivalent car. You’ll get those 32,000.
The price you have to apply to get an equivalent car (state, age, running performance).
What is the value of recovery? The same price you bought and financed the car?
Let’s say the car costs 50,000,00 he’ll get 50,000,00€?
If the necessary money is available, the car can be completely repaired or rebuilt.
But does that make sense? Finally, this person obviously cannot drive such cars.
I’m right that this person can’t control such a car, but that wasn’t my question, was it?
After all, it is a rear drive and can only be controlled by few people
That day it rained.
If that wasn’t the question, you don’t have to justify yourself.
No, the vehicle won’t be new again. It was a used car and it could be a used car with repaired accident damage.
As a rule, such vehicles are sold abroad and repaired cheaply. Sometimes professionally correct and sometimes only stuffed together.
If the now professionally repaired, then everything is okay and the performance remains the same. Nothing happened on the engine, but on the body.
I think Mercedes buys the wreck to use usable parts of it.
Otherwise, you can assume that a total damage in other countries can still bring money.
Grade when you go east or even to Africa where labour wages hardly fall into weight there you can calculate differently than in Germany. A car which is scrap from a financial perspective may be rebuilt elsewhere.
However, I suspect this is the Mercedes dealer’s intriguing to ECUs and the like, as they are also close to date.
Total damage means either (technical) the repair is impossible or (economic) disproportionate. In none of the two cases, idR is repaired, the name “total damage” is simply too much damage.
However, if you decide to repair the car, this is likely to depend on the ability of the workshop 🙂
If the car is actually considered to be total damage, the insurance will not pay the repair. Your “friend” then gets the value of the car.
anyway the car is even if it is professionally repaired always an accident car
The performance does not change but the risk of rust damage naturally increases
A total damage at least not repaired, but the wreck is scraped.
So the name.
but the economic total damage is repaired
“economic total damage” means precisely that the repair costs exceed the time value before the damage, so it costs less to completely replace the vehicle.
Economic total damage can always be seen from several points.
If I have something like this as a private person, I pay much more for the reconstruction than if a workshop does it itself.
This can become even cheaper abroad, depending on where it goes.
A total damage is not always the same for the press.
That’s not correct.
Total damage relates primarily to the cost-effectiveness of a repair, not to the condition of the car.
Like you, I love you, you lose control of your vehicle and the only thing you care about is whether it goes back as fast as before after repair??
Have you ever thought that you could have threatened others with your little control loss??
What you need most is not a new engine, but a MPU!!!
The only comedian here you are
first it is not meon vehicle, but that of an acquaintance. I have no C63 with 17..
I don’t care about speed, but that’s what it’s all about. A Lamborghini isn’t bought, so he only has 200ps or thinks.
Third: Is the C63 a rear drive and on that day it rained! You can tell me what you want. Either mam is driving slowly or you’re building an accident. The car is difficult to control, as the driving experience no one cares about
Jaja the C63 circle around the bet without human intervention
