OK, my girlfriends mom backed into my car this morning and dented the ds rear fender pretty bad. I havent gotten it looked at yet, but i think it will cost a LOT to fix because there is some rust in that area and if you try and pound the dent out the body will fall apart . I am pretty sure the insurance company will just say my car is totaled .

how much money do you think i will get? I really want to get a new rex without rust, and i am hoping this will supply me with some money to do it.

 

that sucks man. milk your girlfriend's mom for EVERYTHING shes worth ..

speaking of that, my ex-gf has a hilly driveway, and one day i parked behind her mom, and apparently my e-brake wasnt tight enough, and my car was just proped up on her mom's car's rear end, and it was raised in the air.. i almost shat myself luckly no damaged happened to her car or mine.


anyways.. goodluck with that man..

 

they wont total it unless something major like the strut towe is bent. you may get a painted fender and a discounted pain job. good luck!!!

 

ROFLMAO I'm thinking: You had spent the whole night there undetected until her mom backed into your car the next morning.....

 

back in 1993 i bought a brand new fender from mazdatrix for $82.00

used they can go for 50 or less.

 

This is the REAR fender.

 

oh....

i used to see new rear 1/4 panels for sale. the guys were usually really trying to get rid of them. . . .

 

they won't write your car off unless something major's damaged, or it's a HUGE, irreperable dent... like something that would cost big bucks to fix. But if it's just a little dent, or fairly small, it should only cost the body shop a couple hundred to fix...

 

I think the line is drawn somewhere around 75% of the cost to replace=totaled.
Keaponlaffen, I don't know where you go but I can't imagine anyone cutting out and welding in a new rear quarter for a couple hundred bucks. Not to mention paint.
My gues is they sould cut you a check for about a grand, maybe a little less depending on the company. Good luck.
