WOW you should be in body repair

 

awe mannnnnnnnnn....

 

huh??

 

Cool story bro

 

Talking to insurance tomorrow. Hopefully I will have an update by then.

 

Total loss. No worries as long as you have full coverage, my friend. Time to hunt for another Z.

 

Thursday..thursday..thursday..

 

Damn that sucks.
But if its totaled, grab the windshield wiper squirter off one of the wiper arms before they take the car.
Ill give you a couple bucks for it haha

 

Thinking the same thing... I can't be giving out this priceless info for free, ya know?

 

That's pretty cold, even from you. Don't quit your day job.
OP - the rear panels are not replaceable, at least not easily as they are welded on. If there is frame damage, it's probably toast. BUT - last time I checked insurance adjustors do not work from pics, and besides that, last time I checked, no one here is an insurance adjustor either. So once again, I am scratching my head as to the post - other than to entertain davidv of course.

 

check again. sorry. frames can be straightened fairly easily with a FRAME RACK the direction of the repair just depends on the manufacturer of the vehicle. quarter panels can be EASILY replaced with a welder. of course they are replaceable. just dont go to a place that charges insurance prices, or will be paying an arm and a leg.
uhhh and insurance adjusters work from pics 90% of the time. generally they only come out in person if it is questionably totaled or they suspect fraud. otherwise they trust the 'reputable'* shop of your choice to determine the extent of the damage AND cost of repair. the insurance co. will then right you a fat check of the quoted amount you may do as you wish with. <asuming you have full coverage.
*reputable to the insurance co.

as for the original post. i dont think he knows what to do after a crash like this. to answer the question that should have been asked> OP you should call your local nissan dealership and ask where they recommend you take your car for "frame evaluation and dented quarter panels". then have your car towed by a FLATBED to that collision repair shop. the pros will tell you what to do next.

 

Darn that bent antenna..Davidv your humor is welcomed..gotta find something funny about the situation right? Whats crazy is that the bend occurred due to the accident. Who wants to start a pool on how much they offer me if the car is totaled?

 

2003, touring, 150k miles? they will give you $7,000 after taxes and license depending on interior condition. lol

 

dam...can I even get a decent 350z for that much? I have found very few.

 

Guessing closer to $10,000 - but as pointed out earlier, i don't know what I am talking about.....

 

In massachusetts they go buy what they can replace the car for from a dealership with similar miles/condition. Cost is going to be closer to 10k from retail 7kish is private party.
I'm a licensed property and casualty insurance agent.

 

OP is from Texas.
So in MA they have to actually go buy an '03 Z with 150,000 in order to get their money?

 

Hmm this is very interesting... is this a normal practice in MA?

 

That is what I would guess as well.

 

Pretty sure that's what we're working with here...
