Car Hit In Walmart Parking Lot

[Luang]

I was going into a parking stall in a walmart parking lot and was at a complete stop because i saw a van reversing and he didn't stop till he it my soarer i was fuckin pissed got out my car and and talked to the driver and got his info.


So here is the problem he hit the car the wheel was turned all the way to the left side so i think his van may have hit it (look at pic) and now when i stop i hear a clunking noise that wasn't there before will the insurance company try and make me prove this because i have no idea how i can prove it, and with the car being from japan how does the insurance handle this as far as repairs and everything go??

They'll have to send it back to Japan to have it fixed, there's a shortage of jdm parts in Canada. They might pay for the repair but you need to pay for the transport.

I remember that thread, perhaps I will do a search for it later.
I think that poster tried to order parts from Japan, but after many set backs/unwillingness of people to over night the parts, he ended up sending the car back. :guns:

Don't mean to derail this thread or anything but does anyone know where I can get a key cut for a JDM car?

I heard Canadian Tire doesn't meet Japanese key cutting specifications (Katana style key cutter). Do I have to ship my door back to Japan?

[jzz30dk]

or since its a soarer instead of shipping it back just use lexus sc300 parts if you cant find soarer parts. or i believe that the soarer and mk4 supra share the same chassis so if it suspension or something those parts should work too.

I just had to send my JDM wrx back to japan to get a suspension issue repaired after an accident :(

At least the other guys' company covered my shipping costs.

Usually you can just pull the locks in the doors/trunk/key cylinder and send them all back to japan to be re-keyed.

I heard of one shop in red deer that has the katana cutter for JDM keys but I'm not sure if they have it running fully.

There is no way you would have to resort to that - just buy new lock cylinders online and have them shipped to you.

Took mine 6 weeks with the repair time. Not a bad wait for stuff that only japanese mechanics can do.

[black13]

since its rhd no one will touch it here, good luck.

[Truevi3tromeo]

shouldve called insurance and possibly police at the scene.. take loads of pics and vids... that way they cant bs later... there's a lot of shady people... i got a parking lot incident... we said that we wont go to insurance.. next day get called to go into a cop station to file a report... there's no dmg on my car.. somehow their car received over 2K in dmg and personal injury... lol....

hopefully u had insurance done right away.. and possibly the other side are honest people... if the other side is already at 100% fault.. insurance should cover everything

You guys a fucking mean. You don't have to send the whole car back to Japan. Just take it to any local repair shop, and they'll remove the front suspension and just send that, and reinstall it when it comes back.

It takes a long time though because of the overseas shipping, and you're car will be sitting in their shop for awhile.

this is what happens when you buy a JDM. You have to pay to play with the big boys

Your wrong man. I went through the same thing and after getting suspension work done, the car had to be balanced by a Japanese manufacture. The ones in NA cant do the job.

Didn't know $3000 cars were for big boys :rofl:

[tom_9109]

OP, don't every worry about it. Its all fixable and they're only fucking with you because you're gullible. If I recall the soarer can use sc400 parts which are readily available here.

Call insurance.
Make claim.
Be sure to be adamant that your car wasn't moving at all.
Hope you don't get fucked.


Carry collision?

Just before posting this did you happen to hear a loud "WHOOOSH" sound?

Just curious. :dunno:

[DrSmith]

Hopefully they write it off, 1 less POS RHD on the road.

If your car was running and you were in it, well if I remember correctly it is considered a 50-50 fault so your insurance will cover your damage if you have collision if not it will come out of your pocket and having to ship your car back across the sea to be repaired you might want to consider a Honda yo :rolleyes:

+Get it ready for shipping to Japan

To OP: Let's be smart and look in the logic to use common sense.

The first question: How much value is your JDM soarer by used market around? In most cases insurance companies would consider to write if off in most times. If the damage to be repaired is above its value - well that is what factors in there.

The second question: If your insurance decides it be deemed that your car need be sent back to Japan for proper repair... that's the BIG question - who pay for the transport expenses? Insurance companies usually don't like that option and may want offer you by compression their best offer to buy your car off. That's usually their preferable way to get out and save money.

If you still must want to save your car and get it fixed. Then the best thing is to order new JDM replacement parts and your car will be in shop for awhile. In the long way will save you a few bucks. Some people here say there are similar parts from other cars that may work.

My suggestion to you is to do your homework and check your "i" with dot and check every word with insurance to cover that costs. Do your homework in looking up EACH part number to the damaged parts to get the correct part without any mistake!

It sucks to own a JDM car but that's the price you pay, eh?

2) you were buying stick on exhaust vents, weren't you? :nut:

[kvg]

In one of my old cars I curbed a front corner and had to replace the control arm, and the rest of the suspension. I had it by a pro and after that it never handled the same. If you have to do one corner then you better do the whole suspension.
