Not even 24 hours and some lady backs into my brand new STI. what bad luck I have. i guess the bright side is they had valid insurance and they will be contacting me in the morning. does anyone know if I can push for the insurance company to replace all parts damaged with brand new subaru parts so that way the paint matches all up and no bondo will be used? needs some suggestions guys..Thanks in advance.

if it is broken, got to be replaced by new parts...

 

that sucks...when i got rear ended...the guy's insurance company paided for all new parts, paint and a new aftermarket exhaust cause the tip was bent a little...you should get new parts...it's not your fault...you're entitled...

 

Also push to have your insurance company nail her insurance company for the devaluation your car just suffered. The resale value of your car just dropped significantly - now, instead of a 1-day-old car, it's a 1-day-old car that's been in an accident.

Note - This isn't something I've ever tried, but I've heard of other guys successfully pushing the point and getting more $$$ from their insurance company.

I hope it wasnt at Sam's Club. That friggin sucks. I got a door ding my first day (stupid neighbor) but that doesn't compare. My condolences.

i know how it feels. in the last week i got a hit and run, and someone opening their door into the side of my car. i also scraped the hell out of my front bumper yesterday.

 

weak sauce!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope it gets all g.

sushi master got a love tap from someone a while back.......poor subys

 

ahhh!! i thought i took one for the team, now everybody's getting hit!! oh wells good luck with the fix.

 

Oh that sucks a$$ Jess...

 

yeah I just talk to her insurance company and I have to take the car down monday to a progressive insurance adjuster for the estimates. as far as what happened I was sitting at the vineyard and pali highway zippy's waiting on a fellow i-clubber to show up when out of nowhere a red sentra going in reverse slammed into the driver side rear of the car. it actually felt alot harder than the damage it caused but still less than 24hrs old and this happens. Patrick i'll try what you are suggesting and see what happens. hey thanks for the info guys

She's probaly one of those soccer mom types with an suv or minivan that they can barely drive. I see a lot of those, they take forever to reverse.

 

actually she looked like an immigrant and she had a permit but she had a license driver sitting next to her. i think the worst part is these people never even said sorry

 

My god, these people should be BTK!!! (Binded, Tortured, and Killed)
