I will be out (even if I was able to get the time) for a moth starting Monday.


$7500 + rental as of right now. They expect it to grow as they pull the damaged parts off the car.

Don't forget diminished value after they get the car fixed.

I was told that will have to be taken up in small claims court because the insurance company does not get involved in decreased value due to accidents reported on the vehicle.

Very true, they don't. Is the person who hit you not responsible for paying for the damages? I'd think if you're having to pay for it you might as well just do the job in a small shop without insurance and keep the accident off your insurance record. More money up front, but less diminished value.

I doubt he could even float half of what it's going to cost. He's more than happy to let the insurance handle the issue. I know he doesn't know that I will more than likely hit him for the dip in value. If anything I will use that (if he pays) to upgrade the car.

you DD your GTR right? How many miles do you have on it? There's a guy at my work who has a white one and DDs his as well. He flips through cars quite a bit apparently, but he's been on the GTR for three years.

Depends on the state and the way the insurance related laws are written. In Kansas, it says something along the lines that after an accident, the victim must be make whole, which generally includes diminished value. Talk to the insurance commissioners office, they should give you straight scoop on that. Based on what I've heard, small claims court is for amounts usually under 2k, diminished value on a GT-R is probably going to blow that out of the water. I've got a diminished value claim pending with Allstate after the idiot backed into my car, we'll see how it turns out.
