Kid Joyrides Dad Car Into My Z

tdmiata · 07-26-2010, 12:41 PM

Thx guys for the advice..waiting for the insurance adjuster to come down and give me an estimate..One question, the side panel is dented and slightly bent. The dealership adjuster was saying that it will more likely be straighten out and repaint, any chance I can get the insurance to replace the panel?

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.

They won't usless you demand it. Remember it's not your insurance that will have to pay.

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.

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.

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.
