@#$!$ got in an accident

i wont bor you guys with the details, but i think it might have been my fault. Anyway, im gonna try and get and talk to this lady so no insurance is involved. Im not worried about her car, but i am about mine. I dont know how much damage involved here. So maybe u guys can tell me how much do u think it will be to fix my car.

It doesn't look to bad. You can buff out a lot of those scratches. The dings and dents you are gonna have to have a shop fix. Careful they don't try to rape you.


Good luck with it.

Don't worry...I thought you had some major damage. A good quality body shop can take those dents out and lightly touch up the scuffs and paint. I thought you had some major damage like when I wrecked my car. I had about $5,000.00 in damages.

Yeah, I saw the phone bit too

He smoked his clear corners, looks really nice on a black car, he used to have it in his sig pic.


The damage isn't as bad as I thought, it shouldn't cost you much.

thanks guys, i feel better, sorta. Anyway a little update on the situation. I told him no insurance since it would be pointless with a $500 dedectable, he agreed. Then i told him i can get parts cheap from my cousin loacted here:

http://www.autobodypartsonline.com/c...33102517964.cb

Course he doesnt know this. Im proabably just gonna get it painted at earl shieb or something. I asked him then if he would let me reomove and install the bumper and he agreed. I think the bumper shouldnt cost more than $150 at earl shieb to paint. So hopefully the total will only come to $230 or aorund there for him. I actually told him it would end up in the $500 range, he agreed to pay for some of it, 20% or something. Now after i told him all this he asks me if i install mirrors. Mirror? I was like wtf u talking about. He then proceeds to tell me that he has a borken mirror on his car and if you could fix it(put on the new mirror basically) we can work something out. I dont think it could get much better, for the situation anyway. So hopefully my end cost for him will be like $50-$60 with the mirror work. Thank goodness i know how to fix s*** is all im thinking
