but for me either way I would return the car. Selling any car thats been in any kind of accident is gonna be tough. Since you have the option to fix it and give it back to the dealer it'll be their problem to worry about, not yours. I'd give it back and get a new 250/350/F or wait for a 3IS

sounds like it happen to my leased car also but i ended up buying it due to the buy out price is much much lower compared to prevailing selling price on the market of your car with the same year model and mileage plus the upgrades,but the only concern i have for you is the cost of the damaged 3k considering the only problem is clipping on the bumper?sounds dealership quote?well you have an insurance and you could always claim it to them and paying only your deductibles,come to think that if you bought that same car right now on the market it would be more so it's your call specially you already like the car and you know already the history of it.

but my main reason is just bc the car has been in an accident. Like I said in the first place it's gonna be hard to sell in the future with that on the car fax. I"m very **** when it comes to buying cars. I don't excuse any accidents what so ever. Minor or major. I'm sure I'm not the only one. 8 out of 10 ppl in the market for buying a car will be the same way. But if your budget is tight and you feel you can't get a car better than this for what money you have then keep it. Any IS under 20k is usually pretty high mileage.
