    Welcome!

    All of that damage from the truck or did you get pushed into another car or guardrail? Looks horrible. Glad you're here to talk about it.

    So... On the 285, I was completely stopped in traffic. The semi truck hit me from behind, plowing me into the back of a tow truck (the big kind for semi trucks).

    Just happy I wasn't hurt.

    I was hoping to get enough cash to stay in a new subaru... But it looks like the insurance company is trying to under cut me:(

    You don't have to accept their initial offer. Who is the insurance company?

    Kinda both... The way it works with aftermarket parts is they look for similair cars with aftermarket parts also the take an average.

    The issue is I don't get to see the cars they use so who knows if it is a fully built engine or just a cold air intake

    You are kind of screwed on aftermarket parts unless you provided for those in additional coverage in your insurance. It is really their discretion whether they cover that or not and at what value. I have a friend of mine that had full coverage on a car that burnt down and he didn't get any aftermarket value from his insurance.

    I would hit their insurance up for replacement value on the car. When I got in an accident the other guy's insurance paid retail value of the mods to get the car back to the way it was. Your own insurance is probably not going to do that even though USAA is awesome. I have them.

    Your insurance or is this the insurance company for the other driver? Anybody issued citations? We have a resident insurance guru on here.

    How were there no tickets with a rear ending accident?! The semi should have gotten one for something...weird.

    I can't believe there wasn't a ticket issued either. If it is your insurance covering it then the aftermarket stuff will depend on their policies. Policies change all the time and are different between carriers. I haven't dealt with aftermarket parts and my insurance in awhile, but the last time I dealt with a stolen vehicle manuals were also accepted as proof if I did not have the receipts. That was over 10 years ago though.

    That said if the other driver's insurance is accepting fault (assumption) they are responsible for the damage and you don't have to accept any offers that you don't find fair. Hopefully the bonkers duck will chime in with his insurance expertise.

    I find this strange as well. I have been hit 3 times, and every time the person at fault was cited...

    :rofl: Right?! I've got shit luck I guess. I'm thankful for the last one. It's the one that pushed me over the edge to get the wrx. I was sick of getting hit in my 350 z.

    2 of the 3 they said they couldn't see me.

    The bad thing is I'm not able to stay in the subaru community, the new ones are not what I'm looking for.

    That what I did. I could've made twice as much but shipping and packaging sand collecting is a royal pain. Sold it all mostly for much less headache. Zero regrets!
