Sorry to see this and glad you're ok. The Z will get fixed and made like new just make sure your Happy when the bodyshop is done. Good Luck

See thing is that i dont know if my parents want to repair the car if there is a chance of it being totaled. I had more pictures but i guess my phone didnt save all of them. Those are the only pictures i have. I am sorry

If it is totaled dude the car is not being repaired. And whether it gets repaired or not determines on what the insurance company decides.

I got close to blue book for my 09 370z touring. It had 16,000km on it and had some cosmetic damage to it. Car was going for $35,000, they gave me $30,000

Dude thagts an easy 10k worth of work. I hope there is no frame damage could be more

If you have GAP insurance, it really doesn't matter what they would give you for the car, GAP will pick up the tab.

Bullit recommended Artcraft Collision. I checked it out and it is 2 hours away. Just wondering though why would you want the car to be totaled? Like what would you do with the money? Personally, because this is in my best interest, i dont want the car to be totaled because if there is a chance to fix it we (my parents and i) would probably fix it. If it is totaled then i doubt my parents would get me a car half the price.

Diminished value. A car that has a wrecked history has extremely low resale value.

I may sound really dumb for this. But i heard from a friend who wrecked his Bimmer that you can get your car repaired like to original quality and that the price doesnt drop or something. I may have misheard but do you know what i am talking about?

I just saw those pics maximized, and the conclusion is its probably a write off!!

jamesleerpc · 12-22-2010, 07:00 PM

So with GAP whats the price that is considered the car worth? For instance: KBB says my car is worth around 35k and if insurance pays 30k then GAP pays 5k? And if this is true, who determines what the car is really worth ?

GAP is for your loan.
Say you owe 35k on the car.
Insurance pays you 30k.
GAP gives you 5k to cover the rest of your loan.

kgreen · 12-22-2010, 07:02 PM

Right, and since there is a sport 370z in your area going for $26k, I don't think they will give you much more than that.
