6000 miles and then... this happened.
CL community,
After 9 months and 6000 miles of enjoying my 2015 IS, some old man hits it and my honeymoon ends. Then, he has the nerves to open his old dirty mouth and throw curses at me when he was at fault I was and still am very disappointed and angry, but at least I am grateful to say that I was not hurt. The car is being fixed as I post this thread. Damage came up to $8500 - my $500 deductible. Got a new front wheel and passenger's side headlight included. At this point, I don't know if the car will look and feel the same when it's returned to me. I will keep you all updated.

hey lexi I'm really sorry to hear about your car. if it gives you any consolation I'm the same way you are with your car. so careful with it and a detail freak. I think you commented on my previous post about how some lady hit me in a parking lot and drove away. worst day ever. ill be honest with you i was upset about it, really upset for the first couple of days. but after talking about it with my best friend and gf i felt better and just wanted the car back. took it to a great body shop, and honestly i completely forgot everything happened. there was no bondo used on my car at all and all new parts were put it. 7 grand in damage and she's beautiful again. trust me just give it time. i wanted to sell the car and just get rid of it. but that would just be a waste. i love the car again. and trust me so will you . hope this helps bud
the day i got her back

Yes, PAPI007! It sucks, and on top of it I have to come up with $500 deductible. My insurance claims I'll get it back from the other driver's insurance, but it can take some time! Just hoping that Lexi is looking great when she comes back!

aw man i definitely didn't mean to make you cry bro! but dw i definitely shed a tear too. my parents said the same thing, its just a car. but no one understands that the car had sentimental value. not everyone grasps. its alright though it'll be back good as new. keep on top of the shop and do not take the car back unless you are 100% satisfied. what helped me a lot was i put my joe z catback on after i got the car back and it certainly helped a lot haha

I avoid at least 2 accidents a day driving here in LA... its ridiculous already got my car hit while it being parked. I'm sure a good body shop will get it fixed as if nothing ever happened

i dont get it, why do you have to pay that 500 even though it would be returned later??? since old man was at fault, you should call his insurance and file a claim , you should never have to pay out of your own packet for someone else was at fault unless that person is uninsured.

I know, LA is crazy. My parents have been there! I want to be confident that this top-notch body shop will fix it right, but I'll make my final statement when I get the car back!

Absolutely, Lexusfixer! It was included in the appraisal! I'll have my guy who did the Xpel inspect it at his shop as I will most likely end up lowering it when I bring it back to him to reinstall the Xpel in the front end. It's is so sad that I can't get over it
