370z's that have been Rear ended...

bullitt5897 · 10-27-2009, 11:14 AM

Hey Guys,

This thread is for all those who have been rear ended and is meant to get a count while also helping each other in determining costs as well as insurance payouts.

I was rear ended last week and should be getting my car back on friday if all goes well.The cost of my accident is already $1300 and possibly more. One of my questions is: of those who have been rear ended... how much did your insurance company pay for the devaluation of the car? I think this will help people from getting scammed by their insurance companies and will also address any other issues that may arise.

Mike...

I got whacked in the back and pushed into the car in front of me. Strictly bolt on parts except for a frame rail extension that holds the rear impact bar (took 3 months to get). Total repairs= $7K and fixed perfectly ($3500 front, $3500 rear). Diminished value reimbursement = $2200 (31% of repair cost...My body shop told me that the average is about 25%). The party at fault had Allstate insurance. They sent an independent appraiser who specializes in diminished value out after the repairs were completed and went with his recommendation, which I thought was fair. Had it been less than $1500 I would have sought legal support.

Doesn't look that bad, but the parts behind the bumper add up, as well as the paint and detail work to make it indistinguishable from new. Car is now perfect with better paint than OEM...:-)

Now:

I was hit in the rear slightly, the damage in the rear is minimal everything was up front. After hitting curb, @ 10 k as of now.

Smallywood · 10-27-2009, 11:39 PM
