Let’s hear everyone’s damage estimates!

If it was a Tesla, it would be $20,000

Rivian, double that

Why are you telling us your daughter was adopted?

So we all know it's not his driving genes.

Just get an estimate and not play the guessing game.

$2,500

This was ~$5,000 for OEM parts, and things have only gotten more expensive since so I’ll guess $3,500. Headlight, fender, upper fascia, bumper, and upper core support.

$1750

This or maybe $1900 would have been my thought. Honestly… I got rear ended by a young guy 6 years ago and it damaged my Nissan Altima VQ very similar to this damage.

Thank goodness for hospital tape with the string in it… Used that tape to hold my rear bumper up until it got repaired. It held perfectly for 2 weeks until I took it in to get fixed,

The guy doing the estimate was around $1,000. I figured it would be likely twice that or near twice that. And I was right.

My guess would be 2k and you will just get some bondo on your bumper instead of a new one. Paint is expensive at least here and the bumper doesn't look bad, assuming nothing underneath is dented. Pretty much any paint job would be 2k from my experience.

Just read the thread and not play the guessing game. I knew the cost when I posted it, and was incredulous at the cost. I was polling the board to see how expensive everyone thought it was going to be.

Can I back-date my umbrella policy?

 

[ArPix]

This little bit of damage to my VW GTI’s bumper was estimated at $1350 to $2000 depending on the body shop. My insurance agent said any amount over $1000 over my $500 deductible would result in them raising my rates on my GMC Sierra’s policy by about 50%, decreasing yearly for six years. So I had to do a video appointment with their estimator which, after discussion with the estimator regarding my intent to avoid a rate increase, resulted in them sending a check for $820. I had applied colored car wax to the area so some scratches do not show in the photo.

It’s pretty salty considering it was a parking lot spot u-turn that caused $2k in damage. So much for 5mph bumpers…

its worth pointing out the 5mph bumper is behind the fascia. and that is what they count in the test. not the plastic.
