Well after getting my voyage 9000 put together in my mobile someone decided they liked my setup! Problem? THEY TOOK THE WHOLE CAR! I mean come on it was a 98 pontiac bonneville ssei. Nothing special. Well to make a long story short the car was found stripped and burned in a Chicago suburb.:( But Statefarm came through with a payoff check for $5300!:p: I had full coverage on it due to the price per month and am now glad I did. Check out the new gear and hope to talk to all of you soon! BammBamm Chi-towns own 173
 

State Farm gave you $5300 for a 98 Pontiac Bonneville??????? Not bad for a car that might be worth $2000.........how did you come to owe $5300 on that car???????

NADA book retail value is over $5000.00 for that car if you look it up online through the NADA website. Most insurance companies use that as I guide for valuing a car.
 
Car had 97,500 miles on it roughly and never been in an accident. It was a friend of the family's car before I bought it and he used it to drive to work and back. I'm not sure how the insurance company prices out cars but it has since been found,well what was left of it. Pretty well stripped :mad: I was told I could purchase it back for $1200? Needless to say I didn't. I have looked at a few for sale around here and they do seem to be an expensive car must be due to the supercharged 3.8 in them? Now I'm starting to experience trans slip in the new ride. I guess it's true when it rains it pours.
