Hey guys,
I need some advice/information.
On new years day my car someone decided to do a hit and run while my car was parked. Hit my fender, headlight and bumper REALLY GOOD. Crunched the fender right into my tire. Took my like 20 minute with a pry bar to keep it from rubbing.
Pretty much my infiniti is going to be total per body shop. Its a 2005 G35x with 130k, KBB should be like $4-6k. Somehow the repairs are $3k+, because a reman HID lamp is $700, bumper is $500, needs a radiator core and $300 fender plus painting everything.
The car runs and drives, i just need to get the fender to stop rubbing on turns.
I'm still waiting for insurance to call me tomorrow but I'm guessing with my $500 deduct, i should be seeing $3500 at least and an option to buy back the car. I can get all the work done for $1500 or $1000 without paint. How much would the car buy back normally be? I have SAFECO insurance if it makes a difference.
I'm assuming i buy it back and they issue me a salvage title, is it really that hard to insure? At this point i would only want liability coverage. The car is in really solid shape and i'm not exactly ready to buy a newer car. I've never had to make any insurance claims at all so sorry for the noobie questions. Or is dealing with salvage titles just a hassle I should just go buy another car.
Is there anything i should ask the insurance directly?
