Smart man, havign dealt with people from the middle east, you made the smart move. Not speaking or all of them, but EVERY SINGLE ONE of them I've dealt with would give you a dollar figure that sounds reasonable, then later say they didn't say that, and would adjust the number to less than that amount, then adjust it again, and again...to the point where they are just insulting you over and over...

Go through your insurance. It's obviously a collision claim, and the resonsible party should pay for it...

And, watch...they won't have insurance.

After that is approved he will get a check from the morons insurance company.

This process and take days and even weeks to complete. I totally feel for the OP in this situation. Please post more damage pictures and of course pics when it is repaired!

While the adjuster will give a check (sometimes on the spot) - do not cash that check until the work is completed.

take it to the dealer. They'll know who the good body shops are in town. Go through the dealer for any parts.

The door panels are not cheap...neither are the front fender panels - probably a good 6-8K of damage there...at least.

Fortunately insurance is mandatory for registration in his state. Both cars have MA plates. If it was a NH plate then I would be concerned as that is an insurance optional state.

wishihadnav · 05-11-2010, 03:32 PM

adjusters typically deal directly with the body shop estimater..estimaters give the adjuster a figure for labor and parts..the adjuster either approves or asks for modification of the estimate based on his findings...its pretty simple..

Cunnos,

I so very sorry at your loss. I can't explain in words how sad this is (considering the fact it's a limited production car). When I saw this yesterday, part of my heart died. I don't know if I could handle it if this happened to my car

Well, I wish you good luck with everything and PLEASE keep us posted. I hope everything works out.

As it is in my state and my former state...but that doesn't stop people from not paying after they get their registration, thus cancelling the policy...

This is so sad. It's so sad that I can't even bring myself to make a YoDawg out of it.

Hey Cunnos, I hope you don't take this the wrong way and get offended, but I couldn't resist. Just having a little fun (but not making fun of your situation, if that makes any sense).

OK Semtex that was pretty funny, i needed that, good laugh for sure. Just to give you all an update, i went to the appraiser and he is filing the papers with the Nissan dealership,which i have heard does incredible body/pain work, i dont think you can go wrong with having the dealership do it. My insurance company just has to approve it, so i have to wait and see at this point. ALSO, i will be hiring a LAWYER to review whether or not to sue her for diminished value or loss of value. So i will keep you all posted on that AND POST "AFTER" pics

I called the dealership today and told them what happened and they are very saddened and pissed. This was the only one they sold, so they are not happy

People in general need to leave car enthusiasts alone, we didn't hurt anyone so leave us the hell alone. We're higher on the food chain, in my opinion.

Heh, where I'm from, haters go out of their way to mess with a double-parked car, especially if it's nice or valuable. And am I wrong in assuming you can get a parking ticket for, well, double-parking?

Seriously, taking up two spots will draw you as much scorn as leaving your dog in the car on a hot day. You become the villain, because people ain't got enough problems in their own lives that they have to hate on you.
