My car was crashed

Here is my exhaust video. I think m exhaust may be damaged. It is brand new. SS CUSTOMS, installed it and crashed my car. All the gaskets leak water like crazy. The driver side exit rattles like crazy and sticks out further than the passenger side . Still sounds pretty good. I need to get under it and access the damages. I've just been too busy...

Pretty much how I'm going to feel when the insurance company that crashed my car tells me some lowball price on repairs.

Get what you deserve brother. You fought worse than this white-collar pencil pusher insurance adjuster when you were over in Afgh. Don't back down; YOU have been wronged and they need to make you WHOLE. Sending good mojo your way. Here is your new lip when my new kit comes in (should be in ~ month). You say the word when you're ready and I will get this to you. It's the 3-piece with carbon center.

Also, if worst comes to worst and you get a check... One of our Florida bros is selling his 40th, as well as some other in the 370z for sale section.

my best to op and thanks so much for your service

a few years back someone rear-ended me in my new 2005 ford escape... i was sitting still and he hit me at 50 mph... i just made my 1st payment... long story short, the adjuster refused to total it even at the advice of the body shop manager... they had to cut the escape in half to fix it... you could literally step over the rear axle and stand behind the front seats... very bad move on the adjuster's part... i informed him and the body shop manager that i wouldn't sign-off for it until it was perfect... i made them redo it 4 times... each time costing the insurance company more and more money... by the time i accepted the repair, the costs were 27k plus 4k in rental car fees... it stickered for 28k... in a round about way, i won... and the icing on the cake was that the idiot adjuster lost his job over my claim... i work in the insurance industry... i'm an underwriter... you do NOT have to accept the repairs on your property until it's fixed to your satisfaction... and they cannot close the claim until you do... keep fighting until you're satisfied with the results op... whatever that may be for YOU

Nice info Janglez. 40th could probably use your help as he navigates the insurance claims nightmare. Maybe you 2 could talk.

Yeah, but the problem is that you're not necessarily legally entitled to it. Emotion, pain, and suffering are not something you can recover any money from except under certain, very limited circumstances.

good luck with him. last insurance adjuster i delt with wouldnt even speak to me during the appraisal! i tried to show him all the damage and he just ignored me and made his claim. i almost rang his neck right there....

My40thZ

That's exactly what happened to me. I was pretty pissed off. I'm going to get a quote from an auto shop a full quote with parts replaced not repaired.

buddy, I did the exact same thing! took her to the dealership. their estimate was waaaaaay more than the adjusters.

im afraid your battle with this wont end well. :/

I would absolutely be there for the insurance adjuster's appraisal, and I would absolutely videotape his entire appraisal process. In the event you go to court, one of the first things you have to do is be able to negate that adjuster's appraisal. If you can provide video that shows it to be cursory, so much the better. If you are polite to him on camera and he ignores your, or better yet is rude to you, that's also to your benefit when a judge ultimately gets to see the video.

If you don't want to hold a video camera while he's appraising, rig one up in a discreet place (make sure your state is a one-party consent state).

Any update from the adjuster?

I didn't think anyone was allowed to "fix" frame damage. That would have put me way passed pissed. Glad you got some satisfaction!

OP, stick it to them brother.

janglez

it wasn't "frame" damage... it was "unibody" damage... yepper, i was beyond pissed... and made them kiss my arse
