Got Rear Ended On Christmas Day...

Glad You're OK,
Not sure if you have many mods/upgrades on your Z,,,but hold their feet to the fire to reimburse you completely; in the event of a total.....also,,,(as you may be beginning to experience),,,it sometimes takes a couple days afterwards to feel a potential injury from the accident.

The right rear quarter does have one crease right in front of the wheel as I stated earlier. I might step outside at work in a bit and snap a picture so you can see what I'm on about. It's creased OUTWARD, thus my fear that there's more underlying damage than we might initially think. I would've already had it on a lift to look myself but coming back and work have been hectic.

And I might have my neck checked by the place I get massages from about once a month. They're licensed and I'm sure the main doc would see me on the spot. Still no pain or weird feeling, so I think I'm lucky, but I'll probably get them to check for me just to be sure.

Luckily this car has been beater status for me and wasn't gonna see mods until Spring when I find a cheap G35 or something to daily. I had just gotten Weathertechs for Christmas, they'd only been in the thing a few hours and I was so excited.

So when you guys are talking about holding their feet to the fire, dealing with insurance, etc. where does my negotiating power lie? I owe about even with what the car's worth since I haven't had it that long (about a year), but if they lowball me, what can I do to make 'em pay out? This is talking from the standpoint of it being totaled, which now that more people that have seen it are starting to believe is a big possibility...

sorry to see, get it fixed, time to sell for new car.

trade it on da day it comes out of the bodyshop so hopefully it don't show up on carfax.

kenchan

Sigh, so stressful.

I guess this is 1 of the reasons car insurance is going higher on the 370z. Today liberty mutual quoted me $1500 for 6 months. I was mad that state farm went from $530 to $565 for 6 months. Must of been a bad yr for the Z.

If you are not at fault-then you should not be the one in the loss column....keep up with all the time you don't have your car & any missed work,appointment's,etc...
You may end up getting an attorney/as if you were pleased with your Z,then they should replace it with equal or greater value! It would be pain & suffering for me without mine...it's my dang Hot-Rod! & i thouroughly enjoy every minute of driving it.

Totally sucks. I am glad you are OK.

You are in border line between being totaled and repaired. Wishing you luck either way. If its repairable then awesome, if its totaled then one word: N-I-S-M-O!

Sorry for my absence, but my update is here: she's totaled

I'll post pics later but she had enough structure and slight frame damage to make it too much. Dealing with insurance at the moment because a new development is his insurance caps at 15k for payout, and mine will be valued at 19ish. So now I'm getting mine involved. All will be paid in due time but it's just prolonging the process.

Thanks for the input and concerns voiced by all. A lotta folks pushing me for a Nismo or even a used GTR, so we'll see what I find. I've spend a lotta time combing dealers and online looking for what my next one will be. GTR has been my goal for 2017, but later in the year when I have the capital I've got in mind. So I might settle for a lightly used 370 with sport package this time, that won't tie up my income too much and I'd love the upgrades!

Those of you selling something to that effect, make sure it's in the for sale forum. I could be contacting you soon!

I kinda figured your car might be done. The hit you took was very similar to mine. The repair bill for mine was estimated at 25K. Why we let people drive around with substandard insurance is beyond me. The guy that hit me had the min. for Ga. 25k property and 25k injury. That will hardly cover anything. Everybody better be carrying Uninsured/Underinsured motorist insurance or you are going to get screwed.

I have uninsured but not underinsured, so Geico will be taking a $500 deductible from my final settlement for covering the difference. Horse **** in my opinion since idk how 15k can even be legal, but it is what it is.
