  • I’m shocked…Casco damage and replacement value

    Hello, must confess that I am very shocked. My wife had a self-inflicted accident (she didn’t happen much… luck had had) But now some data about the damage: The damaged car is a well equipped Smart Fortwo convertible pulse with various extras and a list price incl extras of 18.400 Euro (invoice available) EZ 08/2005 mileage 34000km and at least good general condition accident damage front, both airbags open, front window en now to my actual concern. Report with the following basic data received: Repair incl. VAT 10,600 Euro (parts and varnish 5900 Euro net, wage 3000 Euro net) Replacement value 8,400 Euro Residual value with offer 3,900 Euro Comparable vehicles with mobile not less than 10000 Euro It is not possible that such a favorable replacement value and at the same time a dream price for the pitiful Schrotstämmel is set, or yet? What can I do against it? Have your own report prepared at your own expense and seek legal assistance? Greetings yoshii

  • Opponential insurance called Allianz

    Hello friends, I’m new to this forum and would like to hear your opinion. Foglendes has happened.: Three months ago someone drove me into my parking vehicle. Clear facts. His insurance is the alliance. He has damaged the passenger door and the rear door to the right. I had an expert report issued (3050€). With the alliance it took a little longer, but no matter. Now I received a letter today that the damage is regulated in the amount of 2025€ and on to I was thinking a little bit thin. Before I prepared the report, I had to mention the repair costs of a contract workshop (approx. 260€), only about because I didn’t read an estimate. So I called the alliance and asked where the rest remained. Their answer was that it was right after their invoices. If I repair the vehicle, it will be billed after the report. After consultation with the expert, they would have to pay me the bill. If I don’t get repaired, only the VAT has to be deducted, that’s all. My question: What should I do? Should I complain? Is that what they are doing? Can’t be such a high deviation? I have no legal protection, should the lawyer take care of it? Your opinion please!

  • Don’t you want to report to his insurance company?

    Hello people would need your opinion me on 25.11 one drove into my parking car in the time I was buying. Back door broken. Damage of about 1500-2000€ shackled in by a kfz master (only looked over for a moment) When I came out he stood there sorry and wrote down his address and phone number. Insurance data he did not have with him. Wanted to report the accident the next day of his insurance. I immediately made appointment in the workshop too m repair needed, however, the insurance number of the opponent or the damage number. So on 27.11 he called to ask for the number. But he had not reported anything yet because he probably has several cars and does not find the transfer number to me but once again he takes care of it and calls me. The next day no call. I then got his insurance number via the “central call of the car insurers” self and reported the accident at s They had to write him up but wait until 11.12 if he would contact me to confirm that he drove in. Has he not done so far. I canceled the appointment in the workshop for the time being. What should I do now? Do I have to wait so long? Have nothing in my hand except a broken door on the car. Thanks for your opinion in advance.

  • Tips and tricks of the consultants

    Hello, I have cancelled the existing insurance for my two vehicles and want to change. When exploring possible alternatives, I had a consultation. When specifying the tariff characteristics, the topics “drivers under 23 years” and “garage” were also discussed. On the topic “drivers under 23” the consultant suggested that I do not specify these, should there be any damage by a driver under 23 would definitely be regulated by the insurance and only for the run In the garage, I was suggested to indicate in both contracts the tariff feature “closed garage”, although I have only one lockable garage. Here it was argued that the regular accommodation is sufficient. What do the professionals think of these tips and tricks?

  • car to make

    want to ask if you know where to look if I’m looking for a cheap (important!!!) Ami car. I’ve been interested in an ami that I can screw around with my father at the end of the week^^. But since I’m still a student and don’t have a money tree yet I want to know where to look. The car should be able to drive but still renovate ^^ and not cost more than 4000 euros. Do you know this provider ??? I’m interested in 69-71 pontiac gt o ́s, dodge charger or camaro firebird but now please don’t try to turn me on a car, I am looking for internet addresses (also for car dealers) many thanks^^

  • Post pictures of your Stinger

    Hi Stinger driver, since I did not find a dedicated topic here, I thought I opened one. We all drive one of the most beautiful cars and we read out here, some have individualized their Stinger. I think that you should at least be allowed to share it here in the forum. Therefore I would like to start right here my Stinger MJ 2021, after the Eibach Pro kit has been installed for about 500km and the work on the emblems has been finished. Your contributions to this topic. Greetings Vlaves

  • Interior Kia Stinger Pre-facelift

    Hello together, short question in the forum : Was there the Kia Stinger as a pre-facelift, i.e. without OPF until 08/2018, even with the Velours/Alcantara leather interior with the red decorative seams or only with smooth leather leather replica/ nappa leather? Or was there the velours only later? Thanks for your help.

  • 90,000 inspection

    Before Christmas I had my Stinger GT for a 90,000 inspection at a free workshop. This then told me that they could not adjust the valve play (which is specified at 90tkm) at the Stinger, which probably lacks a special tool. Since it is a free workshop and the Stinger is now not a common vehicle OK. I then got in contact with all KIA dealers near me. They all told me The same “Joa, we don’t have that here either”. Of course I bought the Stinger used and can’t go to the dealer where the Stinger was bought at that time (which is at the other end of the Republic). Now my question, does anyone in the area Paderborn have any idea who could do it or is there somewhere a list of the dealers who are qualified for the Stinger? Unfortunately, the dealers could not give me any information.

  • Infotainment/mp3 playback question

    Hello, I’m new here, I’ve been driving a Stinger since the beginning of October. Therefore, my profile here is still unfinished. I was lucky enough to get one of the last new cars (Ascot green). I only covered about 500km with the Stinger, because the leasing of my previous car was still running until mid-November. So everything is still quite new for me. To my question: First – I’m rather ‘old fashioned’, prefer music as mp3 files via USB stick. So far I had a Peugeot 508 II, who had the Focal sound system on board. I was used to playing the tracks of each album in the order I ‘pulled’ them from the CD. The Stinger offers me the tracks within an album (or an interpreter) but only in alphabetical order. Can this be changed somehow? I haven’t found a setting option so far. Even if I manually insert a number or a letter (i.e. 1 title name, 2 tit) elname or A title name B title name etc.) unfortunately does not change anything. In addition, I get almost no album covers. I have not yet found out which file format and/or file size is necessary to display the pictures. In the Peugeot all covers were displayed, i.e. that each image file is in the folder of the album. A demand from the dealer so far did not show anything, they probably would have written Kia – an answer is still pending. Vi Thank you in advance for your answers.
