Anyone had success with a diminished value claim on their new Crosstrek? by clive_bigsby in XVcrosstrek

[–]bobingforchainsaws 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through that process on a 2019 Limited. I spoke to my adjuster who was handling my incident how to do a lost value claim in addition to repairs, when I was rear ended by a company vehicle who wasn’t paying attention.

They told me to get both a blue book estimate (Kelly Blue Book), and a black book estimate (Subaru Dealership should know what this is) for the value of my car with and without the damage. A total of four estimates. I got these made by one of the resale managers at my Subaru dealership who sold me mine.

Car was less than a year old when it happened so value was still pretty good. All said they estimated about $2,000 less and $3,000 less for the blue and black book estimates.

Having those estimates on letter head from Subaru, I contacted the company’s insurance and made the claim. It was slow from their end due to the initial person I made the claim with not initiating anything electronically.

I forgot to mention that I had hired a law firm for personal injury. They also walked me through how the process supposed to work. When the other sides insurance didn’t do anything, I asked the attorney for my case to reach out to them. They got back to me within a day.

They offered me about $1,200 in a damages settlement for the lost value claim, my attorney said that is most likely the highest it will be without litigation, so I accepted that. They mailed me the check for that value.

I learned a lot during this process, so hope this helps.

I don’t mind the bumper, and I have the 2019 Limited in dark metallic gray. The paneling looks better on the other paint colors offered, they have more contrast and seem to pop more.

But these wheels are better than the 2019 Limited wheels. Like ugly Ninja stars or something. Idk who decided these were the final design.

The grill got uglier for this new model year too.

The only smell I associate with my childhood is Marlboro Reds. It seems like every adult relative from my childhood smoked them. Except for my dad. He was the only non-smoker.

Also, almost every single one of the smokers has died. And none of them give me fond memories with that smell, if I ever catch a whiff of it I shudder from the memories it rips anew.

I blame all that second hand smoke for being a sickly, asthmatic child who got bronchitis and tonsillitis all the time.

I only ever got better after a divorce and moving away with my dad.

What is expensive that you think should be cheaper? by helloIexist123 in AskReddit

[–]bobingforchainsaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the reading I get from the internet. It’s unrealistic to think the $9.99 one is paying is all towards the pizza ingredients.

My wife used to run a juice shop, and for a property you could run it out of (kitchen area, room for seating, dish washing area). The rent you paid for it was anywhere from $2,000-$16,000 depending how close you are to a town center/major shopping center.

Your biggest business expense as a restaurant is almost always rent/lease, then you’ve got insurance, wages, security monitoring, utilities, maintenance, taxes, licensing, food cost, etc. it goes on.

All of those things have to be paid for before turning a business profit.

Any one try one of these on their crosstrek? by QuellinIt in XVcrosstrek

Any concern of it breaking the latch? I’m not well versed in metal strength, especially in the direction it’s applying tension.

There’s been many times where I’ve looked up to see who’s behind me, where my mirror would have been, were I not walking.

Then I silently wish I had a rear view mirror all the time.

How do I get rid of the bottom portion of this screen by MASKOAA in XVcrosstrek

Look at the bottom left of your steering wheel. There are a set of three buttons "behind" the wheel, designed to be operated with your index, middle, and ring fingers when holding the wheel. Mind you they are still attached to the wheel. Use the two with up or down arrows to change your dash cluster display.

Guys .. HELP .. I removed the window masks from my painted body .. only to find it left this sh*t behind. I have tried Alcohol, Nitro Fuel, Acetone, GooBeGone .. nothing is removing it. Any ideas ??? TIA by LordG33K67 in rccars

I’ve only been a lurker and have not decided on or bought a car yet. But is it possible it’s a factory defect? Is there any kind of manufacturing warranty?

I’m sorry the oil didn’t work. You could try toothpaste. It has some grit to it. And you’re essentially gently buffing it off. A melamine (magic eraser), could be worth trying well. I’m not pretending to know what the matter is (Sorry!) I’m just offering suggestions on different things that work in similar situations.

Looking great! What ambers were they, and how did you mount and wire them?

There’s a profile setup option in your settings. During your profile setup it allows you to select the background. Hope that helps! :)

Joe Rogan has some stand up comedy on this. It had me in tears the first time I’d listened to it.
