You are allowed BB plus any other losses or comp value (comp value includes performance mods) or dime for dime what the exact repair costs. If they don't want to pay top BB value due to new top and such, and they are not even asking what the ACTUAL repair estimate is, attorney time. Ask them where in the hell they came up with half of the total value as the repair cost!! I've never seen a body shop say gee, let's just say half of the car's cost. There's going to be a real number associated with fenders, door, paint, rim, BB value loss for a collision being listed on Carfax and more. Ask them what, is this a game show ?? Am I speaking to Monty Hall????

With all due respect Timco, since the other party is 100% liable, Jake does get replacement cost. He has suffered a loss that was not his fault and should be made whole. Perhaps outside of Calif it is different, but I suspect not.
