Why do people key cars?

[nimblestix]

thats almost as bad as the ass-hat that decided to boot fu**k my passenger side door. Now ive got a dent the size of a shoe toe right on the concave spine of the door that should be a cool $600+ to fix.

Some peoples kids these days.....

So I went to the newton claim center. Gave them my statement, got a final estimate of $2200. They are pretty much painting the entire car minus the roof, drivers door, trunk and rear bumper. Now the car is going to have a Dec on it. I know it's only paint but it's definalty going to hurt when I try to sell.

So my question is has anyone here ever claimed for accelerated depreciation? Have you got anything out of Icbc because of it? I just find it unfair that I'll loose money in the ling run because of someone else.

I dissagree. Doesn't matter if you claimed it. The car was keyed, and will have almost a completely new paint job. Anyone who is seriously interested in your car or knows anything about cars in general will understand that the car is freshly painted and not because it was in an accident.

I would think this would work positively in your favour?

claim it only if your deductible is $300. i hope this turns out in my favor as i do plan on selling early spring and importing a couple more.

^ I agree with Tony here.. You only get dinged if your car is involved in any accident

It is even worst if it is over $2000 worth of collision damages..

So the car looks great! More orange peel than I want so body shop is going to sand that down to a mirror finish. I took a picture but the paint on the car before was mint so not a clear difference... I'm happy

that sucks hope you get the car compleatly painted. my car was hit and insurance only painted the left side. the new water based paints don't match as well as the old. try and push it to get done right.
