Yeah, I think the windows for that has closed as the car has been inspected and declared total loss. He did it right after BEFORE inspection plus I needed somewhere $ to float that checkš
Iāll try to persuade my insurance co to split checks.

I donāt think you would of got away with it if you did that, that guy never reported back
What did they say
For now, I was able via a few emails back and forth get a promise to send me the difference.
It went like this - adjuster said they have to āpresent their valuation to the ownerā and āget a payoff from Nissanā. So my understanding my insurance co will show to Nissan financial they valued my Leaf at $40k. and then it all hangs on Nissanās reply as to what they are owed. Iāve also sent my insurance co payoff letter from Nissan financial which the adjuster will be forwarding to Nissan along with the insurance valuation.
Now its up to Nissan to say what they are owed and based on that I have a chance to get anything directly from my insurance company.
Soā¦ there is a chance.

Im glad you guys are ok. I also had my first ever encounter with a kamikaze deer a week or 2 ago. I was only doing 25 at dusk and was able to hit the breaks right before so probably hit the deer around 15-20. Also 2022 Leaf. No damage to the leaf. I was shocked.

Figuring in the new lower price on the Bolt, Costco $500, wait until January 1st for $7500 fed tax credit, Uber $2000 credit, a loaded 2023 2LT MSRP $30,765 will be around $20k. Find a supplier code and maybe less.

Thatās exactly what happened in my case but I guess slightly higher speed caused entirely different outcome.
This is interesting.
**Eligible participants of the GM Supplier Discount Program qualify for a $625 offer with lease, or a $1,250 offer with purchase, of a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV/EV. Not compatible with some other offers. Take new retail delivery by 1/3/23.
But I believe tax credit would be less than $7500?
You can stack that with all that other stuff too Iām pretty sure

Youād have to take delivery on or after 1/1/23 for any tax credits for GM vehicles AFAIK. That leaves you with 2 business days excluding Sunday 1/1
