Bummer man! You're in Claxton? I'm in the Statesboro area I think I've seen your Z around a few times. I know the feeling someone just hit my 240 hatch a couple days ago on my birthday. Hopefully you can get everything covered.

Got a good look at it today. That rear quarter is fubar. I will find out more tomorrow when it get's disassembled. Got my fingers crossed.

The rear quarter is going to be expensive since it's part of the unibody. Stuff like doors and fenders are easily replaced but with a rear quarter it's either try to pull the dents and fill the remaining wrinkles with mud or cut away the bad area and weld on a fresh sheet.

Sorry to be a downer.

Initial estimate is 10k. I asked the adjuster some questions what was on it. He missed some stuff and he knew that would be the case. Wonder how much higher it will go? I am taking dibs on 15-18k.

Spooler · 03-08-2016, 01:22 PM

19K is the oh crap zone. They will want to total it.

Rusty · 03-08-2016, 01:26 PM

If they total it. What are your plans then?

Duc_Z09 · 03-08-2016, 01:29 PM

How are the panel gaps on the front of the car? If the body is twisted (unlikely, but possible) then it's not worth fixing. Also, 70% of Blue Book value is usually enough to cause an insurance company to write it off.

Panel gaps are fine. I was told a 75% value, mine was a basic estimate of 25k value. We shall see. It may get ugly.

Well good luck however it goes. Would you be interested in buying it back as a track car if the insurance writes it off and lets it go cheap? Don't forget to claim depreciation if they fix it.

Here's my only (knock on wood) experience with insurance claims. It has a happy ending so maybe it will cheer you up.

Drink lots of beer and I don't drink. LOL

Actually, get all my parts off the car and find another one.

Buy beer and pizza and have a parts swapping party.
