I'm no adjuster but when more than 75% of a vehicle is covered like that isnt that like a write off?

that sucks though man..

How the hell could they think $3,100.00 would be enough. Come on really, removal, install, paint, plus all that PDR. That's a bunch of sh!t. Just be careful, you get what you pay for. I would go straight back to them, show them the pictures of MB370Z, which I assume has the same amount of damage as yours and have them explain how one cost $xxxx and another $xxx. Either way, that's more then $3,100 worth of damage. On another note, while my car was at the dealer they dinged the front fender right on the crease line. They brought in the PDR and all was fine. Just keep in mind, you can see the repair if you know where to look, I just can't imagine them having to do that much. Good luck, I feel your pain, both of you.

It really depends what the scenario is.


If a single airbag is deployed, it's a total loss no matter what

lol yea i was there right before you i think, if yours is the blue z with some rims i saw pulled up right when i left. i went to california custom and ray brandt collision. both places, the people i spoke to are all very professional.

california custom said my estimate is a bit lower than what they would need, but they would have to call allstate for a supplement. ray brandt collision said the same thing, they try to work with what the estimate is. the guy i talked to was really cool. he even walked me to the back of the shop where one of the PDR guy was working on a black 370z. i saw the way they work, and it seems like they are true pro and do a really nice job.


because there is 0% financing on new 2013 370z within this month, if anybody wants to buy my Z i will sell it. 2012 solid red with 8000 miles $27,000. i bought it back in DEC for around $31K. depend on how good of a deal i can get on a new one, after contacting around, i will lower the price even more. tell anyone u know that wants a 370z, mb370z.

Glad to hear everything worked out for you man! How did it all turn out?

cqnguye1, all of my friends are broke but I'll spread the word.

Punk86, I have an appointment to drop my car off on April 29th and I won't get it back for atleast 30 days which is gonna suck balls

Wow! I wouldnt know what to do without my car for that long... It would be like going through a bad breakup.

mb370, i was trying to find a used oem solid red hood, but i found a blue one. lol
might look better and cheaper than having a new one painted to match.

Used OEM Monterey Blue 370Z Hood

I was supposed to be in Terrytown that day to visit family but decided to stay my butt at my apartment in Gonzales. Best decision I have made so far lol. The mom's Tacoma was tattered in hail spots

That is a ton of damage. If you had it by Ray Brandt they should take care of you. They replaced my entire windshield after I found that one of the windshield wipers was bent and was etching my glass....not a happy camper after dishing out that kind of money.

Damn, another Monterey Blue Z on the Westbank? I never seen you around.

I didn't have any choice since my car was towed to the dealership on Friday and the hail storm hit on Sunday night than I received a call from the dealer my car is ready to be picked up on Monday but oh BTW, your car was damaged during the hail storm.

My car is dirty as fck right now and I don't have any motivation to wash it with all the damn dents in it

Lol yeah I have had my Z since February of 2010 from Ray Brandt. I used to work for the Target on Manhattan but got a better job opportunity up in Baton Rouge. Born and raised on the Westbank ;-).

I'm pretty quiet on the forums but I have only seen one other MB running around while I pass by from time to time so I guess that would of had to be you lol.
