Rip #206

Update: They're offering me 18,600ish for the car plus another 2500 for the finger... dunno the buyback yet because they didn't offer but I sure as hell requested it. Sound fair, or are they trying to screw me? It's hard to get an accurate value on these things but I haven't seen them listed for less than 20.

Hey Duc - chitty news my man.

A quick CarGurus search says you aren't going to find a 2009-2013 Nismo for less than 23k with approx 60,000 miles. Not sure how many miles you have, but you might be able to spin this real nice in your favor.

Say something along the lines of "To replace my car it'd cost me $23,000, plus with a broken finger (if you do typing, manual labor) the cost of missing work is going to run me $X,000 amount of dollars over what you're offering. Please revisit your assessment."

I haven't been in vehicle claims so I am talking out of my *** here, but my lady went through something similar with a messed up shoulder and essentially said kick rocks - pay me more, and she got a bit more for her trouble + Physical therapy paid for 6 months or so.
