Default got hit going to lunch... damnit!

Just sitting at a light second car back. Next thing I know this old geezer in his chevy pickup comes crashing between me and the car next to me. Looks like a bumper, tail light and Rear quarter plus labor..hopefully no other damage thats not visible. What do you guys think the ball park for repair? I am guessing a couple grand. Guy said he would give me a grand to call it square with no cops. lol florida people are so shady.

Default Take it somewhere to get checked out and get estimates then go back to the old man if a G is enough,

if it isnt enough, tell him about it and what you need for it to be even without the cops or insurance or whatever he is trying to avoid.

Default Can't see your pictures at work but I got bumped in the rear taillight and it cost $2300....

minor damage to the bumper (replaced with used one) and quarter panel. They had to paint the bumper, deck lid, and quarter panel. Replaced the tail light and badges.

I'm guessing yours is similar.

Default Yeah. 1,000 will certainly not cover the repair bill! Depending if repair or replace quarter panel

I'd say $3,000 give or take.

Default $1k?! ha. it'll be that for a new cover painted, the tail light and re-painting your dirty wheel.

and, that's not even touching the quarter that could need double that because of the crease in it won't be repaired but cut out and replaced.

figure $3k+, if the door and trunk are good, which you can see the trunk framing is out of whack.

go dent your muffler, break off your upper sway link and bend the sway get that old fvcker to payout a lot and get him off the road.

I think they'll be replacing his quarter panel in addition to light and bumper...
