370z's that have been Rear ended...
 

Hey Guys,

This thread is for all those who have been rear ended and is meant to get a count while also helping each other in determining costs as well as insurance payouts.

I was rear ended last week and should be getting my car back on friday if all goes well.The cost of my accident is already $1300 and possibly more. One of my questions is: of those who have been rear ended... how much did your insurance company pay for the devaluation of the car? I think this will help people from getting scammed by their insurance companies and will also address any other issues that may arise.

Mike...

I got whacked in the back and pushed into the car in front of me. Strictly bolt on parts except for a frame rail extension that holds the rear impact bar (took 3 months to get). Total repairs= $7K and fixed perfectly ($3500 front, $3500 rear). Diminished value reimbursement = $2200 (31% of repair cost...My body shop told me that the average is about 25%). The party at fault had Allstate insurance. They sent an independent appraiser who specializes in diminished value out after the repairs were completed and went with his recommendation, which I thought was fair. Had it been less than $1500 I would have sought legal support.

Doesn't look that bad, but the parts behind the bumper add up, as well as the paint and detail work to make it indistinguishable from new. Car is now perfect with better paint than OEM...:-)

"only thing is, her maxima cant out run a 370z"

O snap

^Awesome justice. Don't **** with the Z.

LOL i hate when people try to run. I was hit myself and was ran from. "not in a z" but long story short I cut him off with the police a block away.

Unless she had NaWwwS

I was hit in the rear slightly, the damage in the rear is minimal everything was up front. After hitting curb, @ 10 k as of now.:mad:

My accident was hit and run , can i get diminished value from my own insurance company?

Yes you can.

I think I have most of you beat . My car was hit on the passenger door and rear quarter the first day I got it (87 miles). I will be getting the car out of the bodyshop tommorow, expect the bill to be around 3-4k.

oh yea? lol i was tboned driver side On my birthday! i think it was around 12k in damages. and the insurance company doesn't want to pay diminished claim so yay law suit

Oh my freaking neighbor backed up into my car the night I brought it home. Checked out how he parked after the fact:

Sorry to hear about that darn suv's lol

I only started researching this morning and the 1st thing i read was that only 3 states allow this, I'm in Texas which was not on the list. Georgia , and 2 other states allow this if your own insurance is the one paying ei.. hit and run.

Yeah...NC is the other..I thought there were only 2 when I did my research... Had the ins co of the girl who caused the accident
Not come through (Allstate) I was prepared to approach my ins co.(state farm) though they were not involved. Had it gone that way they would have subrogated Allstate for the $$

Yeah I am in GA so my insurance company is paying right now... (freaking hit and run) They dont want to fix the exhaust as of yet so I am going to b!tch them out until they give me a check for a new one... They couldnt tell the difference in the exhaust note from when it got hit... i.e. the inner baffles got knocked loose and it has a funky annoying harmonance on accel and deccel... It drives me nuts even with the music up i notice it. But because of the nature of the Z exhaust note they cant tell the difference lol its louder too. its like I told Jeff(owner of the shop) I live with this thing day in and day out how are they going to know what the exhaust is supposed to sound like? its not like they ride in the car everyday...

Didn't look like your "Nudge" came anywhere near the exhaust. The Hamonics you hear are other metal pieces knocked out of line and rattling. Mine did the same. Baffles knocked loose?.....C'mon...:rofl2: Thats Hilarious..you don't really believe that, do you??
