Crashed the S the other week
#11
I apologize in advance for so many questions, but what kind of tires do you have and how was the road condition? I don't think roads get icy in south county... I'm kind of concerned because I drive through there all the time now I know to slow the heck down.

The buy back offer was for $4386. About 20% of the value. I'm not a mechanic so I'm not sure if it is worth the trouble of buying it back.

Oh and how much tread and did you have mods that would possibly affect the handling/stability of the vehicle.?

It was an accident and at least he admitted he might have been going too fast for the conditions.
It might not happened to others yet because they might be on the tires limit when cold but they never crossed the threshold. The tires dont squeal n make noise as much as they do when they are warm, they just let go!

price won't be that bad if you fix it yourself. If you take a to a shop, labor charge will add up (along with the amount of waiting days).
you might have to take it to a shop so that they know whether the damage went beyond the LCA onto the chassis.
