The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

Takes some aggressive negotiating. It has never happened to me, and I don't claim to be the best negotiator, but my best friend once got his Infinity G35 coupe t-boned in an intersection. Total loss, and he got paid roughly the same amount he bought it for 2-3 years prior through some negotiating using receipts and other facts about the car. Just my $0.02

Being angry ain't gon help nothin fam

Be sweet to em, ask them what you can do to help them value the car or what they're seeing as the high cost items and they might actually want to help you. Their job is to spend as little as possible and they get a hard on for sticking it to people that are assholes.

I was absolutely pleasant right up to the point where she said it so nonchalantly, as if totaling the car would be some kind of a relief for me. As if she was doing me a favor. I asked her what I could do and she said nothing. I’m going to call her back this afternoon to discuss further.

My wife sees this all the time with insurance claims. They lowball everything and if the customer doesn't protest, that's what they get.
6 months ago, State Farm tried to make them put a used engine in a 5 series with only 6k on the odometer. That car is still sitting there...
I think they are definitely lowballing the value of your car.... sounds like they're basing it on a 325 or something

My car was something like 5.2k kelly blue book and we all know these cars don't go for that. I sold mine for a lot more than 5k.

Send her over to Bring a Trailer to look at the completed auctions for the ZHP, just put zhp in the search engine and it will bring up quite a few and remind her they are all paying the buyers premium over the auction price ........ she has to have documentation to be able to pay over the book price and this should do it ...

Does anyone have experience with these metal wall posters?

They look amazing.

Any updates?

I think I’m gonna swap out the beige carpet for a black one. Does anyone know if there are any differences between the sedan and coupe carpet? Sedans are hard to come by and coupes are a dime a dozen.

The front section is the same, but the rear is obviously different.
