Yes. It needed a new roof, liftgate, back glass, headliner and much more. |
Damn dude. Sorry to see that. You for sure had a reasonable DV claim and I can see why you were successful. I think it's telling that you had $23k in damage and were only awarded $4.5k in DV. The OP has $1600 in damage. I can't see him being successful.
I see a lot of folks who clearly have never filed one jumping straight to "you need to file a DV claim" over minor scuffs and dings. I'm trying to dispel the myth that because there's damage you can automatically be awarded a DV claim if you simply ask. It's not that easy or simple. So far, of the 5 or 6 people here who all jumped on the DV claim bandwagon, I haven't seen a single one come forward and say they were actually successful in doing so. |
The Insurance company DV appraiser said the car was brought back to the original pre accident condition. The repairs were done at a BMW Certified Collision Center. Everything was was repaired to BMW standards. The car did look just like new but I didn't want it and ordered a 21 X3MC. They basically covered the difference in the loss in value at trade in because of the hit on Carfax.
