Default NSFW! Buy back or not?

i have a 2003 350z touring with 142k with brand new tires . Hail storm got it and insurance is going to give me 9400 if they keep the car or 6900 after my deductible and buy back to get the car back . Will not be a salvage title. Should I buy it back from insurance and see if I can get more than buy back + deductible ($3,000) or should I just let them have it? Opinions?

take the 9400, add a couple grand onto it and buy another, or as i said in your other thread (for almost the same thing)

Would you buy the car from someone else for 6900?
You wont get 6900 selling parts
Why will this not be salvage w/ a bye back?
Are you happy w/ the 9400 they offered you?

Not much more to it.

$9400 for an '03 with those miles sounds like money I'd take all day long. Sign the papers before they change their mind.

Why'd you start a new thread to continue the story from your last one?

Yeah, buy back the car and cover it in Legos. You'll be the envy of the neighborhood.

I am failing to understand why this is even a question. $9400 pay out on a 14 year old Z? Really?

Zs are just cars like any other, not made of platinum or encrusted with gemstomes....sheesh.

My '14 F150 has some hail dings on the hood and roof. Wonder if they'll give me $40k for it.

9400 for a 03 with 142k why even ask take the money and run haha. I paid 10k last yr for my grand touring with slight mods and track pack swap. Oh and it had not 100 and 42k but only 42k lol. For 9400 you can find a nice 03-04Z with half or less the miles on it I'm sure. That won't need to be fixed.

Thats a very generous insurance company..

I was watching hail bouncing off my car the other day... It was probably like marble sized... Left no signs of any damages...

I would be interested in pictures of this hail damage that totals the car.
