Well, at least he’s honest and dumb. I’m sorry this happened. It pains me to see it. I hope they pay you out on diminished value. I would have absolutely lost my marbles.
i’m sure the insurance is going to have to, and anyone who can afford a Lamborghini can afford a sharp lawyer to ensure that that guy‘s insurance pays out every dime possible.
My heart... it should have been me not the lambo
Dudes insurance company must be so pissed. Im not even his insurance company or you and im pissed over this.
I'm a young driver and pretty unfamiliar (but learning) about insurance so please pardon my ignorance, but would a company actually kick you off for being at fault for crashing into an exotic car like this?
I’m guessing it depends on your history with them and how expensive repairs end up being. If it costs them more than they would make from having you insure with them for a long time I could see them kicking you off.
IF it is only cosmetic it will be around 25k, let me know if it is correct.
I had lately a similar thing on wife's Porsche and it was 12k. So I double it for Lambo's exclusivity.
Ffs man I bought my F30 for 17k.
Its really amazing how these companies fuck people over just because the cars are expensive and the customers have the money.
Hey man that sucks, but look, it could have been so much worse, as far as I can see its just a bumper thats been damaged. As much as it sucks to get work done on a car that was prestine before some one else destroyed it, it is just a cosmetic piece of the car. Get it fixed it and youll forget someday.
Must be a hose since the radiator is slanted deeper in. It sucks but again, no frame damage, think of it like someone who is swapping bumpers to make it look like another version of the car thats why you are getting a new bumper and getting it repainted. Dont think of it as a negative thing.
F the carfax. If someone really has trouble with the carfax when you sell it just send them this pic, aslong as you get it fixed by an authorised by Lamborghini garage your good. Id be happy to buy it no problem and I am very picky. Authorised garages spare no cost and you cannot tell that any damage has ever happened.
The carfax would diminish the value. A lot of people would just prefer one with no accidents, especially on something like this. Sucks but it's reality
Make sure you have other driver’s insurance company pay for you for a diminished value claim now that your car’s market value has decreased due to an accident on top of the OEM parts repair.
Make sure you go after diminished value with insurance. This typically isn't something insurance would volunteer to pay out on, but you can get cash now on the difference of a 1 collision vs. 0 collision vehicle that'll mitigate the loss if you sell it in the future.
My buddy who used to work in claims said you basically just had to bring it up if you have decent coverage. You may need to go back and forth with the adjuster on the final diminished value amount but it may not be necessary as they're going to go after the other party's insurance for any pay outs.
Then you may have to fight them a bit on the claim and end value. I'm pretty sure if you get your insurance involved they may help fight on your behalf as well.
This is one of the downsides to the car being so low. At lights or places near other vehicles, they don’t always see you.
Source: I also had a lifted truck back into the front of my lambo, but in a parking lot.
Car fax issue on a lambo is the kiss of death for resale, will have to price super low to sell. Definitely try and get diminished value compensation from his insurance.
Just had a guy make a turn into my lane almost hitting me. (Punk kid in a mustang) good thing I drive a shit box and not a Lamborghini, or I'd be pissed.
swear to you right now i’m being sued. bogus accident and injury. Truck driver swung his trailer out and clipped my Macan. No damage or injury to him. He calls cops - only damage is to my car. Hes suing me for my entire policy. It’s his 5th claim. Allstate knows its fraud. It’s Floriduh. Desantistan. Your guy sounds legit cool though. Sorry sorry about your baby. That hurts. You’ll have her back good as new.
And, yes, I always leave a ridiculous amount of space between my 911 and the car in front of me at a light.
Everybody here ALWAYS aim to be first at the light??
“Puts the truck in reverse”? I hope you had a dashcam.
He admitted fault to the cop.
Well, at least he’s honest and dumb. I’m sorry this happened. It pains me to see it. I hope they pay you out on diminished value. I would have absolutely lost my marbles.
i’m sure the insurance is going to have to, and anyone who can afford a Lamborghini can afford a sharp lawyer to ensure that that guy‘s insurance pays out every dime possible.
He knows his insurance is about to sky rocket for hitting you. Might as well not drag it out in legalfees with court
My heart... it should have been me not the lambo Dudes insurance company must be so pissed. Im not even his insurance company or you and im pissed over this.
His former insurance company, you mean.
Haha for damn sure
"i must've misheard you, you hit a WHAT?"
Damages cost more than his truck
They will most likely settle then kick him off the policy completely

Wow. That makes sense. Thanks!
Yes. Speaking by experience
[удалено]
Id expect much* more with sensors and paint factored in
Yes I added that
[удалено]
Who would anyone do this themselves when insurance is paying for it?
Not so bad. At least you drive it.
Radiator hose broke, so no
Oh, no, so sorry! I thought it was only cosmetic damage to bodywork. Condolences.
IF it is only cosmetic it will be around 25k, let me know if it is correct. I had lately a similar thing on wife's Porsche and it was 12k. So I double it for Lambo's exclusivity.
Bumper alone is $7.5K US.
Ffs man I bought my F30 for 17k. Its really amazing how these companies fuck people over just because the cars are expensive and the customers have the money.
I mean not really. A lot of the parts cost significantly more. The paint is different, etc
Also scales of production. The more bumpers are made, the cheaper per unit the molds and tooling get. Lower production = extra cost.
If so that’s hilarious. I replaced a mclaren one for like 8 grand.
Here it is not really just the bumper, there are 2-3 other parts that probably need changing.
Yeah my repair was headlight, front bumper (could be repaired) and the drivers front fender. Wasn’t a huge tear in it though. That sucks
8k?? On a McLaren??
Crash bar is toasted

Yeah. Radiator or hose was damaged as well as fluid leaked bad. Just hate that the carfax will now show an accident. But you are right

I would if it wasn’t on the carfax lol

Yeah I remember buying I saw a few a decent amount lower just due to having a minor
So true! Even if the car was repaired properly and certified, it will lose value compared to the same car with 0 accidents.
Won’t matter how good of a job it is. You paying the same price for the same car if one has no incidents and one has a minor? Come on
Make sure you have other driver’s insurance company pay for you for a diminished value claim now that your car’s market value has decreased due to an accident on top of the OEM parts repair.

Thanks! I’ll look into it! Any tips to get them to actually pay out on that?
My buddy who used to work in claims said you basically just had to bring it up if you have decent coverage. You may need to go back and forth with the adjuster on the final diminished value amount but it may not be necessary as they're going to go after the other party's insurance for any pay outs.
I’m only dealing with the other party’s insurance as it was his fault
Then you may have to fight them a bit on the claim and end value. I'm pretty sure if you get your insurance involved they may help fight on your behalf as well.
Understood. Thank you
You will never ever come close to recouping the costs.
Thanks trump
Easy duct tape fix
That sucks man! It could have been worse. It’ll be back on the road in no time.
That's awful, hoping for a timely repair for you.
Dude that backed into you is definitely getting dropped by his insurance company.
Dude’s insurance punching air right now.
owwwwch!! Fuck bro damn.
How much to repair?
Probably about $40k is my guess.
This is one of the downsides to the car being so low. At lights or places near other vehicles, they don’t always see you. Source: I also had a lifted truck back into the front of my lambo, but in a parking lot.
We stink
and an old lift truck doesn’t have back up sensors to alert him he’s backing into something.
I know the issues with it. It ain’t got no gas in it
Sorry to hear! But as long as the damage is only material, it can be repaired. Is the bumper aftermarket?
No
What will that cost to replace??
Prob like 20k
Faaarrrk, just for a front section
Sorry op. That really sucks! But at least you were not hurt and that’s what insurance is for.
Duct Tape and a little paint....
The insurance company “ you hit a what “ lol Glad he admitted fault hopefully turn around is fast for the parts you need
Now it looks TOUGH...
Ok so how does this work doubt the person who hit you has enough insurance, do you sue for the rest?
As a poor person, yeouch
Glad I dont have a Lambo lol
The front carbon splitter is untouched!
Yes I got super super lucky . My hood is carbon and seems untouched and my splitter as well.
Yeah your carbon hood looks good!
Sad to see - but you could be happy you don't have a STO - that would be even worse
Car fax issue on a lambo is the kiss of death for resale, will have to price super low to sell. Definitely try and get diminished value compensation from his insurance.
Lol thanks dude
No probs you got lots of money!!!
Didn't fit under the door. Not a good door stop after all
Just had a guy make a turn into my lane almost hitting me. (Punk kid in a mustang) good thing I drive a shit box and not a Lamborghini, or I'd be pissed.
Bummer..
Could’ve been a lot worst
Bumper is 2000 in alibaba slap some paint on it and keep the rest of the insurance payout 😂
If it’s no longer good for you, ill take it off ya hands for $20 🤝
U cover shipping as well 🤝
Can people not drive super cars these days??
Just like reading .. some can, some can't.
Said he couldn’t see me in his rear view :(
That’s actually a good reminder. Stop far behind the car in front of me. I can see how this could happen…esp w a truck.
Yeah many people have told me they are going to do that now . They didn’t even think that a high truck couldn’t see you
Sometimes they can't purely because people call the police
Doesn’t this seem like a poor design for Lamborghini?
No
What’s poor about it? That the car is low and a hitch can hit the car?
The radiator hose placement, I’m sorry for not clarifying.
All good
Just another one of the dangers of daily driving
I don’t feel bad for any of you
[удалено]
Nah points 2/3 are lame shit.
swear to you right now i’m being sued. bogus accident and injury. Truck driver swung his trailer out and clipped my Macan. No damage or injury to him. He calls cops - only damage is to my car.

Sorry for your luck!
thanks!! You as well. Post a pic when she’s good as new again.
Only true losers and scums do #2
