Remember, while it's great that the insurance co is stepping up to the plate on this, that is a very damning bit of information to any potential buyer of your car in the future. IMHO, you really need to pursue a "loss of value" claim to be whole again.

 

Yep already asked about the diminutive value, they said I need it appraised with documentation and provide it to them with how much I am asking for. I'm currently trying to find someone who does that.

 

Stopped by the body shop to see how it's going. The owner was very nice and went over all the major damage with me while my car was on the lift. Rear pass frame rail being replaced, rear quarter panel crunched (drivers side was savable). At least I'm gonna have them leave the emblems off the back and just give me the new ones in a bag inside my car, so I won't have to de-badge now lol. Looking like 4 weeks until its done

 

damn sorry to hear that, sucks!

Good God, now wonder they are so quick to total these. Good luck and make sure it runs true when you get her back

 

Its completely striped! you are gonna get a new car!

 

well almost half of one anyways! Lol.

 

kinda surprised it wasn't totaled.

 

Very very true

 

Yeah damage was about half the value of car. Not sure what % they total at, I think 70-80%.

 

Good god... I thought my rear ending was annoying... nothing compared to this. I hope it works out man

 

Went by for a checkup today.. car is in the paint booth! Looks like they are doing it right, instead of blending repaiting the whole panels/sections.

 

Not sure I understand what you mean here; are you saying that blending is bad? Or less desirable than painting out the entire panel?

If so, I'd have to disagree. "Doing it right" would mean completely repainting each damaged and reworked panel, and then blending the repainting onto the adjoining panels so that there is no defined 'stop line' from where the new paint ends and the old begins. THAT'S doing it right!!

 

no I meant bad by not painting the entire damaged panel, and only repainting part of it and blending on the same panel
