Well following Nissan stripping the back end of the car and carrying out the estimate for the insurance companies, they have said that the total damage is AED 31,000 which is approximately $8,500 - keep in mind that labour is very cheap here and I am sure Nissan give the insurance a big discount on the parts. I'm not privi to the detail of the estimate until it has been approved which should hopefully happen in the next 48 hours so I can't give you the breakdown of what is going to be replaced.
One question I have is that Nissan said they will not replace the passenger side rear quarter panel. They said its connected to the chassis and to replace it they would have to cut it out, that smells like BS to me. They said they would just pull it out and repair it. Is this the right way to do it?
