that sucks ***.... i hate drivers like that!

looks to me the only thing that got owned is your DOOR!

EZ FIX - new DOOR and paint job! boom!

imported_plzbeleiveit

presonally id go to a professional place and get it done right once. send the guy the bill and tell him to pay for it. Ive heard to many horror stories about no name body shops.

imported_kungfugrip

only thing is even if u send him the bill hes just gonna run off.. but whatever insurance is gonna rape him for 7yrs now.. i want 5k+rental+1500 haha he only offering me 2k which doesnt even cover the cost of the new door, mirror, paint and labour. new door at honda is almost 700 and thats just the shell, and mirror is $400.. and labour to install, paint and put all my window stuff back into the new door = $$$$

whatever im goin through insurance less hassle, its done

imported_kungfugrip

actually my 1/4 is dented in pretty bad.. but no paint came off it so u cant see the dent that goes across but u can sure as hell feel it

Cynikal.Mindset

is everybody in here dumb?

not at fault? no increase...BOTTOM LINE...I had 2 not at fault accidents, both total losses and guess what? my insurance went down 100bucks a month...HOLLA!!!

3500 is steep as all hell but whatever, thats what insurance is for...my insurance has covered well over 20grand in damages and medical expenses and I havent seen an increase ever

imported_plzbeleiveit

dont matter a claim is a claim and any insurance copy is guna try to rape u in the bumb to matta what

Surfofpink

I'm with Cynikal on this one. Some guy backed into my car last summer and crushed my bumper. I got a new aftermarket bumper, fender and headlight and a new paint job on the whole car cause they couldn't match the colour for $0 and NO increase. Not at fault = No increase (unless it's in a parking lot.. then its a whole other story)

shud of hit the porche back

Damn Eric it looks worse in person. Im sure insurance will take care of you. Your not at fault, so your insurance wont go up. Just make sure your ok body wise, as its not to late to get everything checked out to be sure. Ive been there, and am still going through physio.

szuberi

Thats exactly what i said earlier...and i agree with Matt here...my insurance dropped as well after i had two not at fault claims...and i dont care if they are on my record.

people are scared ****less of insurance companies all the time. to me...its not as much a 'loosing a claim' issue...its a cash flow issue as well. if that guy is not paying enough...and if u dont wanna go to the insurance (to save that claim later on)....you pay from your own pocket (unless u wanna get a cheap job done overall) and it doesnt make any sense to pay from your own pocket when you have coverage and you are not at fault.

it would have been another story if the guy had paid a decent amount.....

lol eric...$5K+rental+$1500...thats about the value of your car..haha

imported_Moe_Mentum

^^^ No kidding! Talk about a steep asking price. Not to judge you or anything, but if it were me I would have bought aftermarket or used parts and taken the money to get it fixed. Not like your car is brand new, and when everything is painted i the door\fender\1/4 panel are going to look spotless and the rest of the car will still have that faded look. But hey its your car $400 for a mirror! that is crazy, considering you can pick up the same mirror for a fraction of that price and it will look just as good.

imported_Torrey

I agree completely. Well he's not an IDIOT, he just didn't know any better.

New door = $50-100.

Aside from that, it will NOT cost $3500 to fix that. I would have taken the cash, bought a door, repainted the entire car, and would have had money left over.

Oh well, what's done is done, hopefully you don't get in another accident..........

imported_starboy869

new door $50 to $100 from where? Don't say a junkyard or tcc classified. Oh wait those would be USED!!!

I would've let the insurance company deal with it. You pay for a service and scared to use it. Can't afford the higher rate? Get rid of some of the extras like collision, or fire & theft.

At least you SiR didn't end up looking like mine.

imported_kungfugrip

someone tell me where to find a brand new door with all the window stuff for 50-100

im goin through insurance, my insurance dont go up, they cover my rental, he gets ****ed for the next 7 yrs, nothing comes out of my pocket.. i could careless if i was able to make a few hundred bucks cash... is everyone here into makin money? i rather **** the guys insurance in which i have, thanks for coming out



bottom line is: my car gets fixed, he gets screwed for driving like an idiot.. i take the money he gets off with nothing.. so **** that ****

imported_ERTW

why shoudl you get a NEW door? was the door he hit a brand new door? no..

the purpose of insurance is to compensate you in a way that leaves you in the same situation (or as close to it) as before you had the accident. Its not manna from heaven.
