Got Rear Ended Friday Night!

Man that sucks.. I feel your pain.. You can see my wrecked, totaled, 2013 NISMO through my album. I was down in the dumps for a week or so until I got another brand new 2014 NISMO.. ;-)

The body shop turned in the estimate to the insurance company today. $12,000. $6000 is just parts alone. Glad I had OEM parts on my policy, and $1500 in customization that will cover getting my taillights repainted and the FatMat sound deadening put back in.

Good news is only super light damage to the very back end cap of the frame. Said it looked like a small hammer ding. Otherwise it's all cosmetic, and according to him all is going well so far. Since I don't "need" the car, we are taking the time to do it all properly, no rushing.

Thinking when I'm done with this I might try to add more for customization, but I'm not sure they will do that. I have over $4000 in mods I've done.

Definitely upping the wife's Pontiac Solstice to OEM.

Someone pulled out in front of me last year and caused $6000 in damages to my 2013 370Z. My insurance was no help with filing for diminished value. I did some internet searching and came across autoloss.com . I read some reviews of them online and they had mixed reviews. I ended up using them and I am glad I did. They made a diminished value report for me and sent it to their insurance company. They helped me thru the process the whole way. Sometimes it would take a week for them to email me back but they always did. They would tell me every step their insurance company would make to try to get me less money. They first offered me $2500 when they said it was around $5000. After 2 months of talking with autoloss and their insurance company they finally accepted my offer of $4750. I got the check in 5-7 days. Hope this helps

Glad you are okay.. As others mentioned life over worldly things.

12K? That's quite high.. I wonder if the insurance would consider it totaled considering it could be almost half of the car value? That has happened to me where the damage of the car was almost half of the car value and they just wrote me a check. I think Geico allows to add custom aftermarket parts to be added to your policy.

Best of luck with the repairs!
