I need an honest answer guys... I was in an accident in my nismo that involved me running over a "Island (raised portion of concrete in a gas station parking lot)" and the whole underside of my nismo. It also but a tiny little chip in the front diffuser, about a half inch long, that you can barely notice. So the gas stations insurance is most likely going to pay to have all damaged parts replaced. The list is as follows:

Front bumper including diffuser and hamburger emblem
A black plastic peice that gois underneath the diffuser and wraps around.
Side Skirts left and right

Here is my question.

Cosmetically unless you had the car up on a lift you would not be able to see the damage. I am very **** and that is why I am pushing for replacement parts. How much should I sell each peice for or should I sell it as a set and what should I set the price at for the set? I will not have the rear diffuser and bumper because that was not damaged. My Nismo is Black in case you were wondering.

I wish yall could have seen my face when I went over it because the noise was the most nauseating thing i have ever heard in my life and I really think I possibly shed a tear.

Thanks for the help.

i dont understand the question, your asking how much you should sell your F***ed up underside pieces of your nismo? if thats the question just get the car fixed and drive more carefull next time... keep the front bumpers as a spare

 

Ok yes that was the question, but yet you failed on so many levels on answering it. Lets try this again... What should I sell the minamally damaged (underside only ) pieces for? Meaning how much money?

 

who is going to buy dmg'd pieces?

 

why would the gas stations insurance pay for the damage? technically it's your own fault for driving over the "island".

 

ok miagine a curb in the middle of a parking lot made of asphalt. I can honestly say that you would not notice the damage from the outside of the car. Prob wouldnt even see it if i told you the difuser had a chip in it. Basically it is scraped on the bottom where you cant see unless it is on a lift.

If pics are needed let me know.

 

For some reason I cannot edit my post do miagine a black asphalt top parking lot with a black asphalt curb in the middle of it and it happened right as the sun was going down. I can also say that I would be so comfortable selling this I would refund everything if the buyer was not honestly happy plus 10%. You really cannot tell unless it is up on a lift.

 

Asking how much you should sell your damaged pieces for..... Priceless

 

Ok honestly are you kidding me.... Name one Z owner who doesent have some sort of scratches under their front lip? I honestly wouldnt sell them if they were damaged.... I figured I would help someone out who wanted the kit. I will just opt for the check instead. If anyone would like to give an honest reply as to how much I could expect for them feel free to post. Also if you wanna act like a 16 year old feel free to post as well.

I think I understand what you mean with the front bumper. (tell me if I am wrong) From my experience the bottom of the piece hits just about anything that is raised or is on a steep slope. So the paint is fine but the underbody of it is scratched to Shi#. The unpainted part (Correct)?

I can't give you a price because I would be guessing, but if I were in your situation I would call up Nissan and ask them how much a replacement would be, then sell your's for half/ quarter of Nissan's price.

Assuming you have no paint damage... or very little on the bottom lip... which is pretty much enevitable. I may have misread, but is there any paint damage to the actual bumper (the part that is painted black, instead of the dark gray?)

I can imagine your pain going over that hump, I have had a few close calls and my insides turn over. Good luck hope everything goes well with the repairs

 

Who would buy damaged goods? That's like paying for half a loaf of bread when you can just get a full loaf.

Honestly, expect nothing. And post pics.

 

Thank you Lento and yes you are exactly right. I wish I could go outside and take some pics right now but it is raining and they would not show up very well. I will post pics some time this weekend.

you'll sell it for as much as the buyer is willing to pay.

maybe 15-35% of retail value.

 

^^^agreed...plus post pics

 

As you can see in the first pic there is no visible damage except underside the car. No function was damaged either.

 

And yes I know it needs a bath...

 

hmmmm so had you lowered the car and ran over a speed bump the mall is responsible for you ripping up the exhaust?

interesting.

 

The car isnt lowered and speedbumps are marked.... Are you really that stupid?
