Crashing into a dealership is bad enough, but crashing into a high-end dealer is even worse

 Runaway SUV Plows Into Luxury Car Dealer In Indonesia, Wrecks Porsche GT3

Not that you ever want to crash into a building, but if you have to, you should probably avoid slamming into a dealership. And you should really try to avoid crashing into a luxury car dealership, as one Mitsubishi SUV driver had the misfortune of recently doing in Indonesia.

Unfortunately, few details exist about the moments leading up to this crash, which we were alerted to by reader, Iswahyudi Hanafiah. However, he tells us that the accident happened at Ivan’s Motors, a luxury vehicle dealership near the nation’s capital, Jakarta.

“We regret that we cannot provide any information regarding the incident that has been circulating on social media, as we are currently in the process of investigating. We appreciate your understanding,” stated the dealership when contacted by a journalist from Detik News.

Although what caused the Mitsubishi Xpander to drive through the dealership’s glass walls is unclear, the result of the incident can clearly be seen in a video that has gone viral in Indonesia, shared with us by one of our readers.

In it, shattered glass can be seen all over the floor of the dealership, which Ivan has filled with some pretty nice cars. At the front of a long line of vehicles, a Porsche 911 GT3, whose hood is bent up, supports the bottom of a metal frame with shards of glass sticking out of it.

The top of the frame is held up by the Mistubishi Xpander, which has crashed head on with the parked Porsche. Next to the German car, a McLaren looks to have narrowly avoided serious damage — though I don’t imagine shards of glass are good for a supercar’s paint finish.

As the stunned cameraperson walks towards the damaged vehicles, tires can be heard screeching against the dealership’s floor. While it’s difficult to determine exactly what the driver was trying to achieve, the sound suggests that they weren’t too badly injured. However, a group of people, some of whom appear to be dealership employees, can be seen attempting to prevent the car from backing away.

Police say they are investigating the incident, per Hops. One thing that is for sure is that the Mitsubishi’s driver (or their insurer) will be on the hook for a lot of money. Hanafiah tells us that the Xpander sells for around 250 million Indonesian rupiahs (around US$16,000 at current exchange rates), while the Porsche 911 GT3 is worth about 9 billion rupiahs (around US$576,600). Ouch.

Thanks to Iswahyudi for sharing the story with us!
