Mercury Marauder Total Loss and then Stolen into

[akr619]

Two different license plates from the video and the stripped car? However, the tag 456LA is registered to an 03 Marauder in Florida.

i changed to the thin blue line plate when it finally came out, that plate came out like 1-2 years ago.

thats a marauder i posted, why in the hell would I post a stripped crown vic for fun?

[akr619]

and i dont know why theres crown vic parts on my stripped marauder... whoever swapped and changed out the parts and god forbid lets not talk what i would do to that prick, i couldnt care less. ill give you guys update when i finally talk to the investigator. i just want to get this over with, its not worth the stress and its painful each day.

Well, this escalated quickly.

Well, no, actually it took a few days and started with folks looking carefully at the pics of the “stripped” Marauder.

I can only assume based on the pics that the body shop took the time to remove all the MM parts, then bolted on a bunch of CVPI parts to hide the extent of the theft. (Something car strippers do generally...?)

you word that as if im doing it on purpose, im posting it because i canr keep it inside. now im sorry if its two "obviously different cars", it is not, im sorry if it appeared that way. when i got there that was the marauder ive found and when i left it there it had marauder parts in it. i should have took a more detailed photo or took a video onstead and im not trying to be smartass

go back and photograph it again with the VIN so you have proof it was your car an it was stripped

i wish i lived closer, dunno if copart can do it for me. i really should have took a video and got the vin and a picture of the vin. phone tag with the insurance is so annoying and straining and frustrating. its 4 weeks and counting now.

its the same car, i recognize the engine. i popped the hood to check if the engine was there and it was there. i just dont know how the steering wheel and door panel got swithed i may need to talk to the cops. omg this is such a f**** up situation.

Don't know about door panel but if car was moved after being stripped the shop may have thrown on a cv steering wheel so they could steer it as they pushed it out of the way. I'd be going crazy wanting answers so I feel for you.

I'll just say this - sorry for your loss. If you take the $7500 then minus what you owed -that's what you have to look for a new one, or get a new loan.

Once you got the $7500 the shop can strip it out or do what they want it's between them and the insurance agency. Maybe take the money and let the insurance company go after the shop rather you spend time/money. Good luck. I can't imagine the insurance agency is going to settle for a $200 hulk when they could have sold all those parts to copart as an auction car.

This is one of the issues why this makes this issue such a f**** up and complicated one, the most they can do is deduct the salvage fee (what the $$$ would be if I were to buy it back) to the amount they will pay me. But I am hoping that they do not do that, it is still an on-going string of back and forth negotiations.

This thread is a train wreck.
