Bad Day. Not sure if pic will upload. My 2016 turbo S was parked at dealership for transfer case replacement and 53 foot delivery truck (Penske) backed into my car. Have had less than a week and just had paint correction with film and modesta coating. Getting estimate on repairs. My question; How can I get those involved (Penske and/or dealership) to realize damages and depreciation?? Police report already filed. Penske driver already admitted to accident. If most of you are like me, you wouldn’t even consider buying car with accident report. I’m going to push for vehicle replacement but would welcome any suggestions. No one was injured. Thanks for any comments/recommendations

As has been mentioned, almost zero chance of getting vehicle replacement. That damage doesn’t even begin to approach the replacement threshold. You can pretty much put that out of your mind.

Your repairs will (should) be covered by the ‘at fault’ party, be it Penske trucking or the dealer. Insist that it be repaired at a Porsche approved facility. You can find them online or your P dealer can direct you. My chapter of PCA just hosted a tour at the Porsche approved body shop in our area. Very impressive.

Next is seeking compensation for diminished value as was also mentioned. Most certainly there will now be a record of the accident through Carfax and other online sources and like you said, enthusiasts like all of us generally see that when vehicle shopping and it’s a non starter. I had a colleague go through this. I don’t recall the process in detail but it involved a special appraiser who’s business is assessing diminished value. Then it also involved attorneys and the insurance companies. Your insurance company should be able to give you some info on this process to get you started.

Best of luck. That really sucks.

So far Penske has sent my Incident to their 3rd party administrator. The initial claims agent implied this was due to the type of car involved. I’ve had a preliminary estimate by Porsche certified collision center to Penske. Thanks to all the responses. I fully realize the vehicle replacement is unlikely but I’m attempting to convey to them that this is not some POS their driver ran into. Will update. My mileage just turned 30k.

Completed work at Porsche certified collision center. Very happy with work. Will update on DV.

Update

thank you you for the positive responses. I actually work pretty darn hard to have the privilege of driving my cars and my intent was to be made whole. I was naive in believing what whole meant and probably allowed some emotions to play into that expectation initially. A 3rd party managed my repairs and I believe that may have played into my success with DV. In my experience, the 3rd party payed for entire repairs, rental vehicle for 6 weeks (repairs were delay awaiting parts from Germany), redoing paint correction, modesta recoating and refilm. After repairs were complete, then the evaluation for DV began. 3rd party insurance contacted appraiser and he calculated. Basically he followed 17c guidelines. This is entire separate topic- search diminished value and 17c. DV laws differ by state. The initial DV estimate was around $3k. I requested second opinion - one of my choosing. The dealership and collision center provided me a contact. Second opinion was very knowledge regarding Porsche. His estimate was about $17k. I submitted his written estimate to first appraiser. They subsequently discussed and 17k estimate was submitted to 3rd party. I received this more favorable amount. In my state, if dealing directly with company (1st party) the DV is very difficult to obtain. I didn’t use a lawyer and really didn’t want to go that route.
