man that is a sad story. So what about payment, they wont be able to replace it with a new one, so what can u do? and also looks like it a had a couple of mods on it (exhaust, stereo, etc), so that has to get paid out, plus hardship for not having a car for a few weeks.

There's no way I'd be able to say what all my little mods were to my car, so there's no way I'd be able to list them to them so that they could replace them. I tell you what though, I'd be nice and pissed off if that was my car. Especially one that they can't replace anymore.

I wonder if he'll get compensated for the things like the Silvia badges and any other small mods.

i can't see my mate getting anything more than the insurance amount it was insured for. being a nissan dealership makes it no difference to it being a little workshop around the corner.

its life. life sux sometimes. he will probably get a pay out from his insurance company, thats what its for. if i was owner of the dealership, i'd say "sue me". why would i give up a brand new car for something i know my insurance is going to cover.

yeah zactly franks, he'll only get his insured value, in fact he'll probably have to claim on his own insurance and pay the excess.

If his policy allows new for old replacement they'll just pay him the list price that he bought it for (happened when my old 200sx was stolen)

I had a huge fight with a local workshop a few years ago when they crashed my old laser when they were servicing it.

BTW, waste of a good set of azenis, I hope he gets to keep them :D

I'm sorry, that car was stolen in my eyes. Im sure there is no way in hell that they are allowed to take a customers car off site they did not have too. Threaten them with taking them to court and see what they do.

That makes me so sick. That little prick had no right to do that.

Seek proper legal advice, you are not just looking for an insurance settlement following an accident. I imagine you will be sueing the dealership for negligence in not properly supervising it's appretice and failure in it's duty of care towards your property

addit: This could be a case for one of the Sh*t Hot guys who charge 50% of your settlement for a win and nothing for a lose

agree with 51jay. get the suckers cos the service managers should be just as responsible as the apprentice for property that has been passed onto them by a customer.

If they nick the car whilst it is in service, they should fix it right? If the f**k the car up then they should replace it.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
