ipse dixit

My condolences.

On the bright side, at least they spared those nice satin finished wheels.

My 2010 GR GT3 was worse. My quarter panel was pushed in and the roof was dented from the person's bike rack. I ended up with the door being blended as well. As stated get a good shop. Diminished value can be hard to get. So far Nationwide, the insurance used by the person that hit me, has only offered $4000. This trip started in July.

Got goosebumps looking at that... Will hopefully be fixed to look like new. Good luck.

Same color as mine - makes it even worse to look at. Sorry for the owner.

I second this recommendation, but would also note that Cecil himself seems to recently farm out his level of perfection to employees, likely due to age.

You are going to take a bath. Forget DV. It will never be whole again (financially). I have gone through this myself, with my brand new car that was 3 months old and had less than 2,000 miles. Regardless of how expensive/new/exotic the car is, diminished value claims a) Take an enormous amount of time and b) Never cover the actual loss you will make at the time of sale. In a car like this, expect even a bigger hit. Sorry. This is the biggest disadvantage of driving these cars or anything more expensive

Not to thread-jack, I've received almost $6K in diminished value when someone rear-ended my M3 (on the way to Buttonwillow). If my car was mint, I'd probably feel that I lost more, but it had well over 50 track days and 3 hard winters behind it (plus 2 mild ones :-)), and it started to show a bit, so I feel that it was more than fair. $4K for a significant damage to GT3 is not acceptable. Get an independent assessor and/or lawyer.
