Joe47 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Both my '89 yel/ginger/blk cars were damaged by hurricane sandy. The insurance co.has totaled both. I have the option to keep the cars with a deduction from my settlement . The water was about 3/4 above the wheels and enterd the interior . There are stains on the seats and the floors are soaked . This was salt water from the canal. The water did not enter the trunk . The cars were in great condition , running and in appearance . The cars are complete were on the road and are salvageable . I live in NY on Long Island and by NY motor vehicle law the title change will reflect salvage but this can be changed if the cars are restored . They can also be parted out . If anyone is interested contact me by email . I'm asking the difference that the insurance co. will hold back and of course transportation costs . Both cars started after the storm but not now batteries are dead . Mileage on both are under 90k one was from an original ownner and comes with that paper work . I have to act quickly the ins. co. wants an answer . The salvave rate is 15% of the agreed value minus the deductible. Each car will cost you about $1600.00 plus transportation . My pictures were in my home comp. which was destroyed . These cars were better than your average TC . I would value them before the flood at $4000.00 to $6000.00 . I will leave my cell phone because of the time frame so either call or email. c 5165468154 jantist@optimum.net Joe47:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hondo Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 corrected email jnantist@optimum.netJoe,Save your hard drive from your computer if you still have it, you may be able to salvage it and have them transferred to another drive and/or cd/DVD.i am also on LI, but didn't have coverage since it was off the road, so I too am trying to salvage something from my car.Good luck, I hope the forum members will try and help save a few TC's and help you out as well.jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe47 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hondo Too bad about the no insurance . Seems nobody is interested in our cars. I've contacted my insurance to take the cars . I know of another TC in the Rockaways , I sold it to the guy last year . He contacted me ,wanted to give it to me but I can't deal with my own . That's 4 Tc's going away . Joe47 I kept the hard drive so far no luck . I tried at Best Buy but they could not get the info off the drive . Will try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Reichert Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The cars will be auctioned through the insurance companies. The bone pickers will buy them for not much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89TC-16V Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 were any of them 16V 5spd cars Joe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hondo Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Joe,Have a friend who may be able to salvage my hard drive. Micro center may be an option as well, they seem a bit more in tune with saving stuff. I'll let you know how I make out. I'm thinking there are other cars out there that were lost we just haven't heard about it.good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
