I am curious to know what your experiences were with your insurance company in replacing your Type R. I have State Farm, & I'm worried about what they will give me in value for my Type-R that was stolen. My feelings are, I paid $165 a month in insurance, those fokkers better not try to screw me over.

Who is your insurer, & how much did you get? Did you find it fair? Did you have to fight for it?

They are still in the process of screwing me over....
Initial offer was 21K for my 2000 ITR with 39K miles.

 

Mine is paid for. j/j

I totalled mine a while back and they low balled me at first too, but when they did I got alot of adds off the net and was like "hey bitch I dont want your money I just want another R the way mine was". then they gave me alot more = 28k for 2000 w/ 16k miles
now i have a blck one and $ for a Sc/ turbo

 

Everything went okay at first, now they're taking their time.

 

Good luck Chris.

 

Thanks, it'll work out n the end, it's just the waiting that sucks.

 

I got a total payoff on the value($24,000) of my 01 R that I totalled in an accident.

I also have Statefarm!

I have had Very good experiences with them for the last 8 years.

I had Argonaut (I think Esurance uses them too). My R was recovered with a broken steering column and dash, as well as $2k worth of audio equipment missing. They gave me two offers, either I could take the R back and they cover damages or they total the R and offer me $23k. The R had 7k miles and hadn't been registered yet (I still have the original manufacturer's certificate of origin). I made them a counteroffer they accepted, that is they total it and allow me to buy the car back at the auction. At the end I bought the R back for $16k.

 

Statefarm let me do the same thing.

I bought my PY back from them for $4,500. and promptly SOLD it!

I have Allstate, but a focker from Nationwide hit me and totalled my 98 R back in June/01. Their initial offer was1 149xx, but after a few days of negotiation, I got 13k and the R, which I ended up selling to some dude.

NEVER ACCEPT THEIR INITIAL OFFER.

 

Thanks for all of the advice. If you have any more, please keep it coming.
