The day came...She's wrecked.

[Rail26]

First of all, Jeph, you crack me up.

Here is the situation right now. The car is sitting in my garage. The adjuster from my company (USAA) is calling me tomorrow and I would like to have him see the car before I send it up to Scottsdale, AZ (5 hours away) to get fixed. The Porsche dealer contracts with a body shop up there and I have heard nothing but good things. Anyway, after talking to my insurance company they advised me to deal with them and they would work with the other insurance company (Progressive). What do you guys think about that? I figured they are working in my best interest and know the ins and outs so they could probably do a better job than I can.

I guess I will wait to see what the adjuster has to say and I will inform him of my concerns with diminished value.

I will document the process and post it when all is said and done so if any of you are in the same situation you will know what to do.

Once again, thanks for all the encouragement. Can't wait to put the top down and start ripping up the roads again. Cheers.

Sorry to hear about this Rail26. I'm glad no one was seriously hurt. I went through a similar incident not too long ago. Let me know if I can help. I'm meeting with my diminished value claim rep this week. I'll be happy to ask any questions you have.

Now that's a new term for me and I'm glad you shared it... "diminished value claim rep"

I didn't know insurance companies had those and it sure is good to know!

Good luck with that one; the good news is that they aren't your insurance company.
