Sad to report that the 05 XJ8L I bought yesterday was hit by a Lexus turning left in front of me! I was leaving the dealership and had gone about a mile towards the freeway on ramp. As I drove thru a green light this Lexus turns left and I hit his right front. Both cars are totaled. The good news is I have full coverage and "GAP" insurance, the bad news is I lost my cash down payment. I'm not sure I'll be back on the forum any time soon. Anyone in Northern California need parts? It has navi. 6 CD and light grey interior. Engine and trans have 99,000 miles. Car in excellent condition from the doors back. Nothing will be available for probably a month until all the dust settles!

Having wasted my youth as claims adjuster (before the draft board caught my young butt), a lot depends on how fast he was pushing his brand new cat before the other guy jumped in front of him: best case, the other guys fault; worst case, contributory negligence, especially if both cited for reckless driving.

I get your point! the light had just turned green I accelerated to maybe 25. No skid marks. Air bag deployed. He had no left signal on and he assumed I was turning right to access the eastbound on ramp as well. Bad assumption on his part! I'm saying totaled because of the age of the car and air bag deployment. No official word yet.

Update..... yesterday my insurance adjuster did the estimate on repair. Car's worth 10 to 11,000 dollars, Cost to repair 17000 dollars!! Car is TOTALED! Now we go to the second step, what am I getting paid regarding car only? They say market value plus what I paid for State sales tax. My concern is whether one check is written to the lien holder and he reimburses me the $3500 down payment OR 2 checks are written one to satisfy the $7000 lien and one to me for $3500 plus the sales tax on $10,000?

Glad this turned out well.
Now, it is time to get over to the right forum. Your car is in the X350 forum (X308s are for steel body XJ8s from 98 - 03).
You may need to file an accident report with DMV based on loss amount and medical expenses you are now reporting (hopefully just tests to assure no harm).
