My New G37 ... 1hr Old Already Hit !!!
Oh man! Sorry that you are dealing with that with your new G. I hope they get it repaired well. That really sucks I feel bad that it happened to you.
Be sure to make a DIV (depreciation in value claim) I got a feeling that the repairs are going to be costly on that one.

Brakes failed?!?!?! Give me a break. I think it's time for him to do the responsible thing and stop driving ... what if it was a neighbor's kid he slammed into?!
It's a long shot, but I'd see what I could do about getting a new car.

Oh man.
That's just about as bad a day right there as you're gonna have. He must have been really moving that boat to do that much damage. I am always freaked out when I park on the street that I will find my car like that.
Really sorry. Have him get you a new one.

That is a claim made to the responsible party's insurance company for depreciation in value of your car resulting form the accident after repairs are done.
In our state if the damage was more than a certain amount, it depreciates the value of your car vs what it would have been prior to the accident. Be sure to look into that instead of just settling for the repair costs.
Get your car appraised at a few places and disclose the damage. Get a written appraisal and compare to/ subtract it from what the car should be worth undamaged. Submit a claim for at least that amount.
However if the other party is offering to buy a new car- take that deal and don't make mentioned of a DIV claim.
