Angry Need your advice members please?

Hello everyone;
I hope all is well with you & your families? I need your advice guys on what to do please? In the last two months my 08 IS 350 has been hit twice, with today being my second hit & it being rear ended. My question is should I get rid of my car & get a new one or keep it & knowing that I have been hit twice & my car will never be the same? You guys know that once you get hit it, it is never the same. So guys let me know what you guys think & help me decide & thanks again for your help. Take care & be safe.

First let me say that I'm sorry this happened, important thing is that you're ok. If it's fixed by a reputable shop you have nothing to worry about. I would actually keep it longer because of the added depreciation of two accidents.

Keep it, man. Have a great shop do the work. Its not worth the several thousand bucks because the car "will never be the same". Have the Lexus gurus go over it and you'll be fine.

its pretty much how you feel. i dont like the fact of owning a car thats been in an accident. so if i were in your shoes, i probably would get a new car.
