That's way overpriced. Maybe I am not seeing the front end damage but I think it's around the 10k mark. BUT if the insurance will pay out for a replacement

If you use panels from another black car you will be able to see the slight difference.17K is not out of line for parts, proper fitment, body work and paint. For 17k this would be a flawless job from one of the better shops. |

You will never be able to see any paint different on black cars. Just needs a quick polish on both panels and it's all identical. It's probably the only color that you can get away with just replacing panels from a similar car.

Looking at this &
May require telling some kinda fib to your insurance company Hopefully you have gap insurance; as it looks pretty toasted.

Thanks all for your concern. I'm fine, just had a cut on my neck from the seat belt and bruising on my side. The 17K is from the dealership's body shop, I'm taking the estimate to another shop on Thursday and seeing if I get non-OEM parts if they'll put them on. I did contact the insurance company as I did not purchase the track insurance and was flat out denied because even though it was not a race, the crash happened on a race track so they denied it that way.

Don't forget to see a doctor and document all findings. Keep all the paperwork
get all estimates in WRITING, with contact info for the estimator or manager who authorized it check for frame damage - thats gonna be the killer anything metal or plastic on the outside or that can be unbolted like an arm, caliper, etc, don't worry about it, its fixable whether stock or aftermarket. frame damage and you're done.

on rear quarter damage, They'll likely need to cut and weld a clean sheet in. A couple of friends had the track bite back and needed similar work done.

I still think that you can sell it to a private person, get at least 12k+ 4 it, pay off the loan, then pick up a 2007 350z for 10k.
If your going to drive around breaking new cars, might as well stick to cheap **** till ur good or wealthy. PS i crashed my brand new 370z when it was like 6k miles on it, but the damage wasnt as bad as OPs, anyways it was fixed by insurance, lets say i had to go back and reinstall the crap that the shop fixed. it was a crappy fix never the less, i learned how to drive. Crash free since.

track day insurance is a good thing. It's relatively inexpensive considering the piece of mind you have knowing you won't have to foot the whole bill.
