I just had an accident in mine last week. its also an 09 sports package but looks nowhere as bad as yours. my repairs are bumper all 4 wheels n tires and everything underneath lol..and im at 16.5K. Ill find out Monday if it is totalled but i think it is

Remember that you always get the short end of the stick. So if you were selling, your car would be worth $26k. But...if they are appraising value and deciding if it's totaled, they'll call it $31k. Figure you need about $25k in damage to total a $30k car.

Its a 2010 Red 370z 7sp with sports and touring and navigation.

im just hoping for the best..they said it would depend on the engine if it starts and runs ok since since all the oil came out. i was hoping something would be wrong but there isnt. he came up with 16.5k just what he saw and the bodyshop said that there would be more. So they have to add the supplemental cost, labor, and rental fee. Adjuster said it was borderline so he told the shop not to work on it until claims dept. comes back with a verdict. fingers crossed...really dont want a vehicle with a carfax:shakes head:

I just hope the engine wasnt damaged. If the engine is good im all in to repair this bad boy and make it mine once more. But i would never look at her the same. Sort of like a woman. You catch her cheatin and she is sorry and comes back. You love her still but you can never forget that she cheated on you.

and plan to make yours for awhile because if you go to trade it in u aint gunna get sh!t! honestly if i were u i would hope for a total loss...get ur check and get another one...thats just me

Thing is. Do you think my parents would buy me another 370z after this bullsh!t happened. Hell no. I F-in love this car. Thats why even though we will probably get nothing for it. I want the car? Like i would want it to get totaled for financial purposes. But for personal choice i would rather it get fixed and i get to use it again.

well if the accident truely wasnt your fault and they can get their money back i wouldnt see why not. to each of their own though good luck

No disrespect, but this is why i dont agree with parents buying their teenage kids a sports car. Either get them something like a honda civic or a smart car. Parents get their kids a nice car, they crash it and then have no way to fix it or get out of the mess they are in. I bought my first car which was a 2005 Cobalt LS. Had it for 3 weeks, due to my gf grabbing the wheel, thinking i fell asleep i rolled the car off the highway. Insurence company paid the car off. 6 months later i bought a 07 Cobalt SS Supercharged, did alot of mods. Got bored of the car, bought the 370z. Realised it wasnt what i needed, now i got my truck. 4 vehicals i have owned. I was 21 when i bought the Cobalt LS and im 24 now. And thats not even my 08 ZX6R i bought 2 years ago.

i knew someone was going to pull this card eventually

well im just going to leave it at that, since the last thread got locked, anyways, back on topic. Going back to my suggestion of just ordering the parts and doing it yourself. If you got the cash, check out some junk yards for a 370z and see if u can find the parts you need.

What's the point of this thread? Why would anyone ask a bunch of strangers online about the cost of fixing a car? Are we insurance claim adjusters? Really? REALLY?

Here's my yellow 370z after my accident back in 2009:

Allstate agent went to look at it......final result/decision? Totalled. And mine didn't look as bad as yours.


EDIT: I take that back....I just enlarged the photo.....it looks pretty similar actually.

I am.....since I went thru this process. :bowrofl:

You shut your whore mouth unless I ask you to speak! I'm going to pour flaming sambucas all over your face!
