Hey guys, its been a while since I posted on here last, but I've checked in from time to time to see whats new. I hope all is well with everyone.
A few weeks a go, I was rear ended at low speed. The repair estimate came back at $4,500, and insurance company for the guy at fault wants to call it a total loss. I have never been in an accident before, so I don't know what to expect (other than the insurance company trying to do what ever makes them a buck or saves them a buck).
There is some slight crumpling of the body inside the trunk, but the shop is only quoting 2 hours of labor to fix that.
I'm waiting to hear back from insurance on how they plan on valuing the car. Should I take it to another shop for another quote? $4500 seems like a lot to me, but again, this is my first accident.
She is a 2004 model with 142,xxx miles. In good condition overall.
Thanks,
Ed
