MadManMike Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 You can check the vehicle safety reports online, they said that no WD21 pathfinders were made with airbags. Infact I don't think Nissan used airbags until 1996 vehicles. In general most vehicles before 1996 don't have airbags as a standard. Might be possible if you installed an after market steering wheel?? never looked that up before -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daver123 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Wow let the poor guy mourn his pathfinder before you vultures get your hands on it, and i got dibs on the dash dimmer switch. lol Sorry about the accident man, been there done that twice with my first '95, the last accident made it a write off, but i went out with my big insurance settlement and bought another one. Even without airbags i think its one of the safest suv's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unccpathfinder Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 He was at a dead stop and an F-150 rear ended him and pushed him into an R50...its "wheelmanLS1"'s pathy before the stripping action began...if i would have had the $ i would have bought the whole truck off of him...i pulled the front bumper off of the tire and drove it around as i mentioned b4 b/c i was buying the engine and wanted to make sure it didnt get damaged... i was really shocked when i saw it and they totaled it b/c it was in mint condition...

MadManMike Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) He was at a dead stop and an F-150 rear ended him and pushed him into an R50 * Wonders if the blacked out taillights had any thing to do with the rear end accident i was really shocked when i saw it and they totaled it b/c it was in mint condition... My mom used to work for an insurance company, she said that they are totaling pretty much every thing these days.. don't know why. -Mike Edited April 15, 2007 by MadManMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusionist Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 if my insurance company totals my car, i don't get to keep it do i? Because when i totaled my @!*%vic they would hardly even let me get my stuff out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACLoki1989 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) I have had a car totalled before (not the pathy) and kept it, they just wouldn't pay to fix it. Edited April 16, 2007 by ACLoki1989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperSon Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Theyd let you buy it back from them. It just depends on what percentage applied towards the estimated damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repack Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Glad to hear that you are OK. Any word on the lady that caused it? Ladder frame + steel bumper = battering ram. I rear-ended a lady a few years ago in my '95. I swerved as I realized I was going to hit her so the impact was the left 1/3 of the bumper. The bumper levered off the frame rail and pushed everything back about 6" into the tire. A little bashing and I drove it home. $20 for new head and running lights at the junk yard and it passed inspection. Not bad considering that my insurance company gave me almost a grand! If I hit her square my truck would have been fine but the compact I hit would have been destroyed. A word on Insurance: I live in Mass and last year a friend had his car totalled when he was rear-ended. The insurance company offered him $3500 if he wanted to keep his car or $4500 if it was totalled. He took the $ and bought a truck. And if he had kept it he would have needed a special title showing that it had been wrecked. He never got an explanation why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusionist Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 so... i didn't get even an offer to keep my truck, but i just got home from looting some goods! I couldn't remember all that everyone had asked for but i did get the dimmer switch, hazard switch and defrost switch. i also got some other small things, can't remember what all else. If interested leave a comment and i'll let you know if i got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SuperSon Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Dude you gotta ask them what your options are,See if you could buy the truck back if they totalled it and how much. Dont be scared to ask your insurance company.youre paying them and the least they could do is offer you the option to buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
