spc2125 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 My thought was to ask for the cost of the damage PLUS the cost of a detail of the vehicle because now it might look different with a fresh painted bumper and possibly faded paint rest of the car.... OR insurance. Im leaning towards insurance though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 From the pictures It looks like the bumper needs to be realigned in the center. The gap from the trunk lid to the bumper is off. Yeah get an estimate and have them give you the cash. Is a bumper after all. Another smokeshow is bound to f it up again anyway. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted February 13, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 13, 2013 That's a terrible idea. Being "nice" in this type of situation is a terrible idea in general. But if he's going to go that route he should at least err on his own side.

c-lo Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 maybe it's because your questions tend to get you in trouble regardless.....do NOT do this privately. as much as you obsess about your car do it right. no matter how hot she is. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-lo Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 where ever you go, inspect the sh!t out of the bumper when it's done. I've been rear ended twice in traffic. 1st time the shop did a crappy job putting the car back together. and the paint job wasn't that great. color was right, but looked liked they rushed it. also ask what they will be taking apart to do the bumper job. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Oh this is good stuff. Remember when I was saying something about saving your money? Although it likely won't apply here, maybe it will help you understand the thought behind my comment. What if she wasn't insured and didn't have a parent who could afford to pay out of pocket? Additionally, what if it had been worse than it appears to be? Would you have enough money to pay the deductible on your insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spc2125 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yes i can cover the deductible and repairs if needed. But hidden damage and everyrhing will cost thousands. Trying to fet a rental car for work today. Likely will take around 2 weeks for everything all nice and nice. More explanation later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
