that happened to me too! right when i bought the car, i pulled into a cheveron's gas station and he reversed and tapped me on my bumper. The bumper isnt damaged or anything but it does have spider web cracks around the headlight area. He just gave me $300 for the minor mishap, and i was fine with it after.

Sorry about your mishap.

If they are going to give you 2k for that, you might as well find a black door in a yard or something and pocket the rest.

I'd up the price and take the cash. Insurance is a pain to deal with - they always try to get out of paying claims to deserving customers. Got a friend in my office who was an adjuster before he became a realtor and left the insurance industry because it was so full of crap.

You should find out where he lives and superglue the caps onto the valve stems of his POS car which obviously didn't come with side view mirrors or a seat where you can shoulder check.

*Damn the incompetent...*

That sucks... I say do it through insurance. If he tried to blame you on the spot he's probaby going to do the same to his insurance company. Tell your insurance company to kick his **** for not looking. Good luck though.

If it ever happens again, make sure you make a scene so everyone sees it... voala... accident witnesses I did that (there were 5 people in this Rav4, all teenagers and just myself in my Soarer when they slammed into my car)... I kicked up a fuss in front of a restaurant (which happened to be where the accident occured), they've got nowhere to hide.

lol..thats actually a good idea.."superglue the caps onto the valve stems"...its too bad because he was traveling down to california for something but he lives in Ohio. He had an ohio license plate. IF he DID LIVE in california near me...it could be another fun night for me and a couple of friends
