OH NO! I hope it is not repairable. If it were me, I would not want it back. Even if they deducted for the mileage, I would not want a repaired stolen trashed car back.
Those low life scums. I hope they catch them....

That's sad but I too hope the insurance company totals it. They won't be able to fix everything correctly and you will hate it.

sorry to hear about that...
The car will never be the same again, and you will never feel the same with that car after all...
So, I hope they total the car, or else you will have to take a lose and trade it in some how...
Wish you good luck

OK so here it is......when i saw my car, from what i can tell the theif enter the car from the sunroof. he disabled the alarm and bypass the immobolizer by popping the ignitition. and somehow started it up maybe hotwire it.
The stole: my fog lights,Stock and Alpine head unit, AEM intake, Cd Changer, Shift knob is the only thing i saw was stolen.... MY headlights HIDs were left intact
they left me a present though: Slash all my seats and door panels apart....
My question is since the seats and door panels are slash do u guys think the insurance co will totoal the car? I really dont want the car back now since all the mods are scriped...

Unfortunately I don't think they'll total it. New seat covers and door panels are minimal cost compared to the value of a 2001 TL. If there had been major body damage maybe, but not with the damage you describe.

maybe its someone who knows you since they might have known that youre car had mods on it.
seems like such a waste of energy to put all that time (and money) into the car only to have it stolen later on.

if the cost of the replacing those items is not sufficiently high, the car will not be totalled. sorry to hear about the matter, but make the car even better this time! ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
good luck!

I'm wondering if they towed the car. Unless they had a type of Master key, popping the ignition would not disable the immobilizer since that works in conjunction with the car's ECM.

forget what i said about making it better...
i don't think that is enough to total your car, so get whatever needs fixing on the car done and get a payout on the other items....then go and trade/sell that sucker!
#19
that is the worse case scenario
they take all your aftermarket parts
but leave the rest of you car alone.
that is some scandoulous bizness
that in turns to your lose, if the car was a all beatup
then the insurance would be paying for it to get you a new car,
get rid of the car soon,
type-s soon for you!

Sorry to hear they found your car.
I would trade it in or sell it as soon as i get it back.
The insurance company WILL NOT total your car for $6-7k worth of damage. Sorry.
Hope everything works out. Get a Type S!

how expensive are the seats i mean both the front seats have side airbags on them. since the seats are slash, then woudnt they have to replace the whole thing including the airbags? i heard soemwhere that if the seats are taken then its an automatic total. in this case its different its slashed so i dont know how it is... what od u guys think"

Did you have an aftermarket alarm with remote start? if so that would explain how they got around the immobolizer.

The reason they won't total it is because the majority of stolen equipment was aftermarket stuff. You better have receipts for everything you bought. Sorry to hear bout that.

a bad suggestion...... hope it'll work
I have a idea... i dunno if it'll work.
find some sand and pure them into your GAS and Engine....
then start the engine. hope the engine burns.
then tell insurance it's Screwed up!
hehe

Sound more like an insurance scam to me buddy. Anyone who is skilled enough to take a TL would not just steal aftermarket parts and slash the seats. Seems more like you want to trash your old TL to get a new TL type S.

Sucks to get it back and they won't total it! hahah! ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
But if you we're to fix it and try to sell it...shouldn't it be salvaged as "theft recovery"??? You can't sell it that easily.

So theoretically, if the thief were able to somehow hotwire the remote start (in my setup), he definitely could get the car started but he wouldn't be able to drive it anywhere. You need to step on the brake to engage the transmission interlock and stepping on the brake kills the engine if the key's not in the ignition. And an unchipped key in the ignition will kill it too.
