LYC: Estimate on the car repair I mentioned earlier this week. $3700 from the 1st place. $2700-$3100 from the place recommended by the guy that hit

my son's car. Needless to say, he is now opting to go through his insurance. Now we're just hoping that we can swing this so that the insurance doesn't total the car considering we only paid $4k for it in March...

It would be a moderate miracle if they don't total that. -- nm - Ender May 31, 11:51 10
- Yeah. Prices range from $4-$6 depending on location and mileage I've found. I think we got a really good deal on it for $4k - oblique May 31, 12:04 9
  - That is why I said to get ready. Start pricing them, now. Look for higher dollar ones to either defend an argument it not totaled or increase the - Spawn May 31, 12:06 8
    - I am so stealing the tires off of it if it gets totalled - oblique May 31, 12:16 7
      - True story: The last two of my cars that got totaled both had tires less than 2 months old. -- nm - Spawn May 31, 12:28 4
        
        If this goes bad, it will be the fourth car we've bought in about 6 months. -- nm - oblique May 31, 12:29 3

        Well, you should at least be good at it by now. - Spawn May 31, 12:30
      - mention that to the insurance adjuster -- (edited) - decline May 31, 12:18 1
        
        yeah, I will be. Tires, brakes, new battery, new tire sensor. All installed right after we got it -- nm - oblique May 31, 12:22
jeebus - how fast was he backing up? - decline May 31, 11:51 4
- Oddly, it isn't that much by looking at it. Bumper, Fender, Hood, Headlight - oblique May 31, 11:52 3

    - He's been very nice/chill about it which has been a small positive in the process -- nm - oblique May 31, 11:56 1
      - Well, if he pays cash, then it would be a win, win -- nm - zeitgeist May 31, 12:59
I immediately thought, "totaled". - Spawn May 31, 11:51 4
- I'm not really inclined to trust the body shop guys opinion on this - oblique May 31, 11:55 3

  - yeah, I wouldn't recommend that -- nm - decline May 31, 11:57
  - Double-Secret Totaled. -- nm - Spawn May 31, 11:56
