Rear Ended!

I hope she has good insurance. Try not to get stressed out too much. It'll all work out in the end.

Insurance will Fu*k you no matter what. probably end up costing more if you decide to receive their check, that check ain't gonna cover the entire repair most likely, because the check will be lowballed hard and not include the supplement fee most-likely. I think BEST thing to do is actually have it repaired with original parts and have insurance pay everything

Well following Nissan stripping the back end of the car and carrying out the estimate for the insurance companies, they have said that the total damage is AED 31,000 which is approximately $8,500 - keep in mind that labour is very cheap here and I am sure Nissan give the insurance a big discount on the parts. I'm not privi to the detail of the estimate until it has been approved which should hopefully happen in the next 48 hours so I can't give you the breakdown of what is going to be replaced.

One question I have is that Nissan said they will not replace the passenger side rear quarter panel. They said its connected to the chassis and to replace it they would have to cut it out, that smells like BS to me. They said they would just pull it out and repair it. Is this the right way to do it?

KettanLadd, I just did a quick search on the courtesy parts web site and I was able to look up the Rear fender. I am pretty sure that they can replace it and I cant see why they would have to cut it out.

Here is the link so you can check it out.

Not really an upgrade... more of a downgrade.
I'm pretty sure you've never seen an Amuse'd 370z in person. Because you would definitely be singing a different tune if you did.

Doubt it. The pictures do it enough justice.

It's just not my cup of tea, and it seems everyone is doing it so being OEM is being "different" now.

The fact that they list a rh and lh item means that it's a replaceable item. Don't let them bs you on the repairs.

I feel your pain, I bought my 2012 Z Roadster on Jan 2, and some idiot pulled out in front of me this past Wednesday. My car will be in the shop for the next 3 to 4 weeks being repaired. His insurance is covering everything since he made an illegal turn across 2 other lanes of traffic.

Thanks for the advice guys, really appreciate it!

Spoke to Nissan earlier today and made them agree to replacing the panel.

They said there was a lot of damage to the floor and to the center part of the exhaust. I am going to the dealership tomorrow to see the full estimate. Fingers crossed the insurance will give the approval tomorrow and they can get my car into the queue of jobs for repair. They said it will take a month to fix! That's going to be 5 weeks without my car.....maaaaaan!

Driving around a 1.3 Yaris at the moment, a small piece of my soul dies everyday!

Always add at least two weeks to the estimate.

It sucks, but it seems every time I've had something at the body shop they've taken two to three weeks longer than "expected".

The insurance companies can not dictate who fixes or how your car gets fixed.
If Nissan is fixing it, then they have no room to argue.
If they try and argue tell them to go talk to the driver they insured.

And make them give you a better car. The deal they work with the individual they insure has nothing to do with you.
