4th July nightmare :(((( Wrecked Z

ts-c63

That was me the other day! Haha I'm feeling ok though now my cousin just left for a vacation and he left me his C63 AMG for few days so this 530hp animal will keep me happy till I get my Z back

dmhenderson

I'm leaving for the beach next Fri. Really upset that I'm not going to be able to take the Z down but I'm sure I'll have plenty to keep me occupied until I return. Car will be done the day I get back.

Hopfully by next week my insurance lets me know what the deal is (Hopfully totaled) my dealer is already trying to find me anther PW Z in the same exact specs.

dmhenderson

Or you could always take the cash and snag a '13 when they become available. Are you going to sue the dickhead kid? I don't even know what you can sue for but if I were you I'd want his pound of flesh.

ts-c63

I honestly don't know how I feel about the '13! One second I like it next second I don't... I think it's the rims that are throwing me off I have to see them in person

dmhenderson

Yeah I like the 11-12 rims better than the '13 but that's just me. Lots of people love the new rims plus those red calipers are sharp as hell. I'd trade my gray nismo calipers for red ones in a heartbeat.

so im pretty pissed off at this point, my car is not totaled .. both insurance companies checked the car out and said the same thing that it is "repairable"... so now the process of fixing the car should start next week it is being shipped to my Nissan dealer hopfully by Monday or Tuesday. I honestly just want the car to feel and look the same. The one thing im worried about is them having a hard time matching the paint, being that its PW. Hopfully have the car back in a few weeks.

Fix it, Sell it, Start Over... not an easy scenario, but you'll never be satisfied with it knowing it is a fixed vehicle. There will be some monetary loss no doubt. I always wonder what I would do if I am in that situation. That is my answer to myself...

ts-c63

I mean it was never perfect from factory I was always able to tell a little difference as long as they can get it to where it was b4 the crash I'll be happy..

Get a nismo!

I thought about that a year and half ago, but my car drives and feels like before the accident. I put it to the paces on the Mountains of West Virginia and the Dragon at ZdayZ this year.

They match the paint perfectly on my MB, I tell people and they don't believe me until I show them the pics.

Anyway your car should be fix to factory Specs with lifetime warranty if you have a good Body Shop and Insurance.

If it is not fix to your satisfaction deal with your Ins. Company and Body Shop if is still not right then get rid off the car.

Good advice. I wrecked my 350 (not my fault). It ended up being about $1000 short of being totaled. The repairs I got were very well done but just knowing what it had been through, I never really felt the same about it. I'd find small imperfections while I was detailing it - even months later.

I keep it for a little over a year after that and ultimately traded it in on the 370. To my surprise, it never came up at the dealer when I traded it in. I ended up getting $500 over top KBB trade value for it and $300 over invoice on the 370 (most of that to cover shipping from another dealer).

Fix it, sell it (or trade it) and get a new one. You'll be glad you did.
