Just break both his legs so he can't drive anymore. Then his Dad can take him off the insurance policy. Stuff like that really drives me nuts, to put it politely.

Yes they will be able to straighten that out fine. My rear panel over the back wheel had the same thing happen to it. They straightened, buffed it out and then repainted it. That should be fairly easy for the dealership to do. Just make sure it a Nissan dealership or reputable body shop. The other thing that dealers will do ( i should say shady dealerships) is actually say that they replaced the panel, then just straighten out the old one, and then pocket that money. So even if you did request it, they might just fix the old one and say they replaced it.

For what its worth, I just traded in my 3rd-gen Miata. I liked the car, don't get me wrong. But the Z is definitely more solid.

So ya, thats the story in a nutshell. We've all been saving up for Miata doors since.

Thank you i was wondering about the miatia door jokes going around.

thats very good advice the diminshed value will come in handy.
it helped on mine. wonder how long it takes for a car fax to show up.
my body shop told me they didn't report them.that it was left up to the
insurance company.

I don't where car fax gets their info either, but I would think insurance companies would be the best source or if accedent reports go into some kind of centeral data base that wold be a good source too.

Do I file the diminish value with his insurance? If you dont mind me asking, what are the steps involved in claiming diminish value? Thx..

Lemers 07-26-2010 08:26 PM
You should file it with the insurance company that you filed the accendent claim with. If you filed your accedent claim with your insurance and they won't process it then file it with the other company. You have more leverage with them by not settling for just repairs.

Zsteve 07-26-2010 10:02 PM
it mightbe tough but stay on it as a few of us have been rewarded for our patience. Your car has lost value so you need to get it.

res0zsfa 07-27-2010 04:56 AM

Lemers 07-27-2010 05:32 PM
:iagree: you can look for any number of the aftermarket front bumpers and just pay any difference.
