Hello everyone , i havn't been here for a while , if someone don't ramamber me i have a 2006 se 6 speed , well anyways , my car got stolen, crashed , robed , they found it in 2 weeks . The adjuster said i have 11000 worth of damage. Pretty much it .

 

holy crap, good luck with that where did it get stolen from ?

 

Bensonhurst

 

Ouch, sorry to hear that...so are you getting a new Max now?

 

Man sorry to hear that, Was it stolen from your house?

 

WTF. Are you serious. Bensonhurst is pretty safe. I can't believe this crap.

Did you have an alarm, lo-jack, full insurance. DAMN BRO that sucks

 

I had an Accord get stolen about 7 years ago. They crashed the front end and ended up destroying the interior trying to get the stereo out. It worked out well because they ended up totalling it, and I got my Twin Turbo Z

 

got pix? sorry to hear this, this is the **** why i sold my turbo'd civic. too much hassle

 

i don't think they'll give me a new maxima , they'll probably fix it because they count is as a total damage only if the damage is 75% of the car price, well thats what i've heard , so i don't know what's goin to happen now , i hope everything's gonna turn out good .

 

and ye i have pix , ill put them on tomorrow .

 

After that much damage I wouldn't even want the car anymore even if they were willing to fix it....

 

wow sorry to hear , they acutally got theifs out for a 6th gen ? damn it man !!

 

So whats the deal? Is insurance giving you a check for the value of the car??

 

Killah - No, they won't give him a check. Life is never that simple.

As the damage was less than 75% of the value of the car, they will have him get three estimates and offer to pay the lowest. But if VQ35LIFE pushes hard enough, he has the right to have the car repaired at the shop of his choice.

The problem is it has been my experience that no car getting $11,000 in repairs will ever be anywhere the same as it was. Just doesn't happen. Especially a car with as much complicated and involved electronics as the Maxima.

Tough situation.

 

That sucks. Where are you going in Brooklyn to get it fixed?

 

Yeah, there has been a lot of stolen cars occuring in Bensonhurst lately.
How did they steal it when the car won't start without the RF link
to the key?

 

This situation really worries me!

What kind of theft deterrent devices did you have on the car???

 

Sorry to hear about this man.

 

If the frame is bent you can argue that you will not accept anything other than a complete replacement. The value of the car drops significantly if the frame is bent.

 

Oh, that sucks, man! I'm very sorry to hear this. 11K worth of damage is alot...I'm sure its painful just to look at your old max. Make sure you push for a good repair shop and don't settle for anything sub-par. Good Luck!

 

Did the insurance get back to you ? is it a lost ? Just curious what did they take ? Navi ?? Headlights ?

 

i had my hoodie for $200, and a brand new video camera , i dont think they took something of the car , lol and the funny thing is my insurance kept telling me they couldn't start it without a code key , lol do it for your own experiement , i went to a locksmith got a regular copy with no code for 4 dollars and started the car , i was shocked , anyway if anyone knows a good bodyshop in brooklyn let me know . Thanks =]

 

is it a secret to answer my question???

 

The regular key would only work if you had remote start installed previously. Did you?

 

NY city, Nuff' said. Sorry to hear

 

That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that.

 

o , sorry i had everything stock the way i got it , with the remote open , close , panic , and a key , and no i did not have remote start previously .

 

Sounds like you have a problem that you should seriously look into as well. The chip in your key needs to register with the transponder in the key cylinder for your car to activate the fuel and send it to your engine to start the car. You can sit there and turn a "regular" cut key all day and she'll turnover but not start. That's a form of theft deterrent as well. It's oem on my 03, so I don't see why they wouldn't put it on your newer max. Do you know how exactly it got stolen?....ie, towed, pushed, air lifted, dragged, pulled.......

 

i have no clue how it got stolen , and about the code key, it was actualy mad funny , because i went to a locksmith and they told me $90 dollars for a code key and i was like nuh , give me a regular copy, i opened the car with it and then started, i was F***ing shocked lol ,i couldn't believe my eyes , i took the key out and started it again , and then the next morning as you said she would just turnover but not start , it was so wierd . Anyway thanks a lot all to all of you . =]

 

The copied key will start the car if you have your chipped key in the pocket or somewhere around the front of the car. If you leave your original key at home, have no remote start, and try starting with the chip-less copy it will not start. If it does, NISSAN just created B/S system and you should look into suing them.

......

So if I understand correctly, you bougt a sub-$30K car and had not alarm or any kind of theft deterrent system except OEM red blinking light???? Doesn't make sense to me

 

I leased it , ill deff get something now tho .

 

That's all I got at the moment, everyones like "how can you afford a 20k$ car and not an alarm?" - I say it's not that im so rich I can afford this car, it's that I put all my money into the payments and now im broke

I don't expect tint, radio, alarm, etc for another month or so

 

lolol True

 

...Good Luck!

 

SORRY TO HEAR.. LAST YEAR I HAD A PEARL WT 98 MAX WITH 50K, IT WAS STOLEN/ RECOVERED...THE CAR WAS A SHELL. I REBUILT IT AND 3 WEEKS LATER STOLEN AGAIN...GUTTED AGAIN..STOLEN 3 IN THE AFTERNOON ON 65ST AND 16TH AVE...MAXIMA IS SUCH A HOT CAR FOR THIEVES....

 

sorry to hear about that

 

It was a lease? Screw it. Wait for the '09.

 

a big thing i herd what they do is they do the normal ignition breaking/ wiring what eva they do but just bring their own ecu bc thats what reads the transponder and some bs.. idk i'm not a theif just what i herd.... i got a 6th gen and live in bk so i'm worried now.... also they could tow it..sorry to hear
