Cool Davey. One's silver, but the other one's silver!

If you are the insured party, you must be 25. If you are the claimant party, there is no age restriction.

uh, bon l'anniversaire there, Carman21.

episode

From time to time I stumble upon an event at the local mall, and I am mesmerized. It looks like great fun.

OK, glad things are progressing for you. I just had two concerns, going with your own insurance: The other guy's insurance owes you a rental car, and you will likely have to pay your deductible after the car is fixed and then wait for reimbursement, possibly for months afterward.

The very idea stinks like horse$h!.

Based on the photos you've posted and that NADA value, I think you're in good shape. It appears to me the car will be repairable, not a total loss, even if it needs a trunk floor. But you need to get the ball rolling, Cory. Even if you put the claim through your own insurance and let them subrogate to the other guy's company.

Oh no... you didn't get the Jetta guy's insurance info? This will drag on way too long, as it usually takes forever for the police to get a report together on a non-injury accident. If you had gotten his info, you could have been on the phone to them THAT DAY and gotten things underway. You certainly have the right to call his insurance company and make a claim. Call that officer and get the Jetta guy's insurance info and call those people as soon as you can!

I put a bunch of comments over on your Facebook album regarding this. The buckles in the quarters might pull out when the car is put on the frame machine to pull the rear (and front, likely) structure. But that hard kink in the trunk floor has me concerned... will it pull out? Can it be hammered back into pre-loss condition successfully? It's always hard to guess. You know it needs all parts for both bumpers, a rear body panel, frame rail repair at the rear and maybe the front as well, and the trunk floor is up in the air at this point, it is kinked over on itself hard, and it is ripped from the frame rail. If the quarter panel buckles do not pull out, that's more bodywork and painting (plus pulling out the quarter glasses for painting)... this is adding up quickly for a base model 2005 Cobalt, I have to say. *bites nails* Which insurance does the other guy have? Not sure what the "rules" are for a PA resident hit in NJ by an NJ resident, insurance varies by state. I would be pressing for a rental car though, look at your battery, and with the trunk not closing, the car is not secure from thieves or weather. Plus it should be torn down to get a thorough estimate on the damages. I would be checking your car's value on the NADA website. Check "clean retail", because that's what the insurance co will go by for value. NADA usually gives the most accurate value, but it is still a ballpark figure. The insurance company will place a value on the car, which you have the right to question. It is going to be close. Good luck either way, Vipes, and keep us in the loop. EDIT: when you go to the NADA site, choose "consumer", then "new and used car center", you will be able to go in and see.

I see what you did there.

I'm sure our Camino knows all about Hoagiefest, which is being held at his most favourite place in the world... WAWA! (Regional convenience store chain that Camino loves.) Also I'd like to introduce a bill to congress to ban all billboard advertising for Lexus dealers. These new digital billboards are cool though.
