A little bump
Well, I was driving along at got to a stop sign. Best way to describe the street, it has two main lanes, a left turning lane, and a right turning lane. I got to the light in the lane next to the left turning lane and got up behind a giant SUV, in front of the SUV was a car, and no one behind me. So light, car, SUV, me.
On the left turning lane there are 3 cars waiting for the arrow to go green, so they can turn. That particular intersection, the left turning lanes turn on green before the main ones.
Left lane lights go green, cars start to move, dude in the SUV decide he wants to go left, but he is too close to the car in front of him, puts in reverse and backs into me, at a fairly low speed I have to admit, problem is his car is so large and he has got him self a little hitch, which made a nice impression on my license and a nice little dent in the bumper.
WRX Bumper
Guys argues that this is a minor dent and he will not pay for the repair, perhaps, but the car is a lease and when if I take it back, I will pay, so why should I pay for something I did not cause? Long story short he is paying, but here is the deal. I feel bad for him, I do, and wanted to see if we can get this fixed cheap, no such thing
3 nation wide body shops, all in the $1200 – $1300 range, wow, for a bumper, kicker the bumper is only $300 its all the labor that kills. Could Subaru be cheaper, can they do this at a cost lower than the national shops? No way I thought? well yes way. I took it to the dealer and the guy there tells me, this bumper is fine, does not need to be replaced we can fix it for $770. Way to go Subaru!!!!
So next Monday into the shop we go.
