YACT: Nissan fans start crying....my car was hit

OUCH

$250.00 deductible, total repairs with my deductible will be $3300.00


Happened around 2 am according to my neighbor who woke up when the car was hit. It was an older red truck and the driver was probably drunk.

🙁

On a side note, my rental is a 2004 altima...

Its going to take 8 days for them to fix it all up and get it back to me which includes AMFAM giving the ok to do the work.
 
ouch!! that really sucked.


but 3300 repair cost seems a bit too high no? I mean, the headlight assembly is in tact and the wheel looks fine (which probably means the brakes are fine too)

2003. Sheer silver, black leather interior, titanium package, and maxspeed springs which drop it slightly. I also went with lower profile and much better tires since the stock potenzas absolutely blow in water or snow.

anyway, its a 2003.

left headlight assy has a small crack at the base of it so they are replacing the entire thing. Wheel is fine, but it was hit, so they are going to align it.

Personally, i dont mind the crack, but new is good, and insurance guaranteed me that my premiums will not go up. this is the second claim i have had in 1 year. Last june when I bought this, one day later my GTP was totalled out (got rear ended, again, not my fault)

claimed two times and premium did not go up? whao, you have State Farm or Farmers?
 
Your car is the same year and color as my Maxima only mine has no dents or missing parts.

That sucks though. They are nice cars.

Yours looks more like a Buick now with the damage to the front end.😀

Hey, are there any cheaper tires than the crappy potenzas ? A family member of mine has one, and he was shocked to find out that it was like $180 for each tire, and there are only a few brands to chose from. I assume its the same tire selection because it is a 2002 and it has the same exact wheel. Christ, I only payed 107 each for my 215/45/17 nittos a little while back.

Sumitomo HTR+. 215 45 zr 17, they work great in all weather. You can get them at SEARS or off tire rack.

Is this a high traffic road or one that would probably only be driven by people who have business there to begin with?

Well, I'm sure it's not too 'high traffic' based on the way the cars are parked, but I think you can figure out where I'm going with this.
 
NFS4, WTF? Is that a guy getting his head blown off?:Q

Sorry to hear about your car. The repair shop stated it would take less than a week to fix my car when some jagoff from Florida decided to smash into it in NYC.:| Unfortunately it took like 3 weeks due to a parts backorder.

Hope you get your Max back on the road shortly, and yes those Potenzas blow in the rain, snow, and dry. How could Nissan put such crappy tires on a car like this?

it's a screen cap. from the movie the untouchables, shortly after the man with the gun asks the other "is it hard to talk with a gun in your mouth?"

.... at least that's what i thought it was... although i could be wrong
