Oh yeah, sorry bout that.

Just a quick question. Since it's a total loss, will qball get a full amount of his current value of the car OR full amount to get another Elise replacement (possibly an 06 or 07)? It's two different value we are talking about here.

smoseley · 11-15-2006, 05:33 PM

usually it's the replacement value of the exact vehicle, i.e. current value

RichS · 11-15-2006, 06:01 PM

For me, my current value would include all the receipts for the stuff in my signature, PLUS the time to install them.

Painted shift knob: 3 hours of labor
Harness bar install: 8 hours of labor
Painted tow hook: 2 hours of labor
Multivex mirror install: 2 hours of labor
etc.

I'd be generous and only charge $250/hour for the installs.

This is how we lift them @ Dietsch Werks, We don't use a two post lift or a floor jack. Our new shop will have two of these lifts - Rob.

damn. he bought the car new and as you know, our elise car value is not hot like, lets say, mini cooper S.

qball should demand a brand new car from the 06 Elises. It's not his fault that the shop drops the car.

But it seems to be open season on the Toyota Prius.

See the underside of the front clam on the yellow Elise?

That's what happens when you aren't going REALLY SLOWLY in and out of driveways...

Great photo!

Yeah. We ALL do that to our cars.

ZTEC · 11-16-2006, 11:48 AM

Dietsch Werks, Thanks for the pics - I posted some similar pics on an earlier page - You should mention to the owner of that yellow Elise to check for Oil Leaks - he has some obvious oil saturating around the tray bolt - not much but enough to warrant a check!

Dietsch Werks · 11-16-2006, 07:19 PM

They use grease on the bolts and it seeps with time - Rob.

esabam · 11-16-2006, 10:20 PM

bummer
hope u get it worked out

Addicted2Racing · 11-17-2006, 07:41 AM

Hope you get your money back soon.. =)

Depreciation is irrelevant. If they give him the value of his vehicle, he can theoretically go buy a used equivalent, which will have depreciated exactly as much as his car did. That's how insurance companies think.

Lotus F1 · 11-17-2006, 08:21 AM

This is why I have gotten replacement value insurance on my last 2 cars. They cut a check for the full amount not matter how old the car is.

WhitePlume · 11-18-2006, 01:28 PM

F'in weird. I just bumped into one of our staff anesthesiologists here in the hosiptal who knows I drive a Liz. He says, "Hey, a buddy of mine from our Alfa forum just emailed me a picture of an Elise that you gotta see. Some guy backed it off lift."

Man, it's amazing how this thing has gone global.

Lambda_drive · 11-18-2006, 01:36 PM

I guess Qball is famous now.

TerrapinFlyer88 · 11-18-2006, 09:37 PM

Probably. But I'd still like to see a happy ending to this all. Losing a valued car is like losing a friend. It sucks.
