Oh so a damaged car in the USA is different than a damaged car in Thailand.  WOW who could have guessed. 

I have several Thai friends who own/run secondhand car tents.... there is no system in place that can be referred to to establish damage history of vehicles here, unlike the USA which places damaged vehicles on a salvage title....... If they are paid out by the insurance company and then on sold.

They "normal' in Aus.. Hence I was replying to this part "No insurers, anywhere do that" of your post.

I'd already referred to "normal" car insurance policies in a couple of comments.  Taking that into consideration you can see that I wasn't meaning that new-for-old policies do not exist anywhere.

 

For the record, no insurer will offer new-for-old on a normal policy, i.e the sort of policy the woman in this thread will have.   It has to be paid for by taking out a new-for-old policy.

I am aware of that.  However a person can have a car inspected and determine if the car has been repaired.  If it has, the interested party will either not want, or ask for a price reduction.  If you note a good number of the advertisements here in Thailand specifically state no accidents, no flood damage.  They would not do it if buyers did not care if the car had previousy had damage that was repaired.  I know I have purchased a car here and one seller refused to let me have it inspected.  I knew then the car was likely a salvage that had been repaired.  Any body shop can immediately tell if a car has had repair work done on it.

In Australia she would qualify for new for old if the vehicle was deemed total loss.

Certainly they can have it inspected (at their cost)... I never said they could not.

 

However there is no searchable database a buyer can research to determine if there has been any prior accident damage........ Which part of this are you struggling with ?

Chicken essence basket would go further than some manky Thai fruit.

Make no mistake, the Thai guys did it on purpose for her complaining about them damaging it minorly in the first place.

Car was rear ended by a pickup truck 

 

 Therefore, the vehicle cannot be stopped in time when it is necessary to stop causing an accident. including reporting allegations of reckless driving causing damage to other people's property

There goes your theory out the window

What's that got to do with it?     But if they were both in "identical condition", it, obviously, would not make any difference as they would both be in identical condition!

No, the fact is that the car in "identical condition" that has not been repaired is worth more than the one that has. 

That was my point, they would not be identical cars because one had been repaired!

She was lucky.   You do know that they did not "get her a new car", they let her buy a new car with the finance installments starting at the 17th month, right?

I am not sure what point you are trying to make.  The issue was depreciated value of a repaired car.  Though "identical" in terms of make, model, year mileage, options, and wear and tear, the fact that one car was repaired and the other not is a differntiating factor even if ALL OTHER ATTRIBUTES were the same.

5555 Hilarious thread. Especially reading in one go. 

 

No way she'll get a new car. She doesn't deserve a new car. No where in the world would give her a new car.   Its not a new car its 2 years old. no 16 months. closer to a year. No its 2 years old. she'll never get a new car. 

 

She got a new car.

 

Good for her.  Totally deserved it. Condolences to those who think she didn't deserve it. 555555
