Yesterday a lady pulled out in front of me in my 1990 Rex vert and squished my left front fender, part of the bumper, the left side rear fender area and the left side outside mirror. It was a slow speed hit but still the car is messed up. She didn't see me and asked me where I can from. I was just driving down the highway when she just decided to pull into my lane. The police charged her and now I have the fun of getting the car fixed.
Are new parts still available from Mazda? Bumper, fender and mirror come to mind. I don't care about the cost. I know it's going to cost mucho bucks.

This was the first time I had the car out since October of last year. Now it will be sitting again until I get this settled.

 

All these parts are available.

 

Let the insurance company count it as a total-loss get yourself a nice check and buy another one in better condition than buy it back from the insurance company.

 

First find out how much her insurance covers. Then it is your choice to find the cheapest parts, or the most expensive parts just because she hurt your baby. Make them pay for a rental car while it is in the shop too. A guy rear ended my lexus ES300 at a stop light that had just turned green. Immediately got out and started screaming why I didn't go. I pointed out that cars in front of me STILL hadn't moved, and that he was an *******. He gave me attitude, and I got his insurance raised by 30 dollars a month, and I had a number of people offer to be witnesses should I decide to take him to court for verbal assault (don't use the f-word in public or they can do this) but I'm a little too nice for that.
