300 for the bumper, 200 for the fender, paint/labor 8-1000, give or take a couple hundred

$1800 is nothing. On my old S4, I rear ended someone at about 3 km/h, did hardly any visible damage whatsoever, nothing past the bumper, and the fix was $10,000. 2 headlight assemblies made up half of that alone. There was a million little clips and clasps, each like $13. Insurance was really nice to me and replaced them "just in case" even though no visible damage to the headlights.

That said, I have a huge problem buying vehicles with ANY repairs because I am so anal. There are enough vehicles out there that you can find one without an accident, or get a better discount on the one that has been repaired.

I was recently involved in an accident at a stop light where a commercial 1996 International truck neutral rolled forward rear ending me. He hit me twice but it was light ass taps.

$2400 in repairs. I was quite surprised it was that much in damage. So glad insurance went ahead with repairs as I was very scared they were going to write it off cuz of market value of my car.

Anything under 5-6K is nothing to I believe. Cars these days get to that level fairly easily.

[Nakadah]

1800 for a 2010 SUV is absolutely nothing. Why don't you ask the owner of the vehicle to provide you with a picture of before the repair?

[Hage69]

thats nothing on my 1999 4runner someone hit it from the front and it needed bumper cover, right headlight, grill, right fender and it came out to just about 2500.

[guessboi]

1,800 is nothing. shouldn't be a big concern.

[dj_rice]

For a $30-40K vehicle, $1800 is very minor. If it was a 92 Honda Civic then very big deal :rofl:

Agreed. As the stories on here attest it takes seemingly nothing to get close to 5 digit repair figures. $1827 is nothing.

1. $531.91 for bumper R&R, prep, paint, enviro fees and tax.

2. $715.21 for the new unpainted bumper from Toyota.

3. $579.88 for UPS brokerage fees to get new bumper delivered to shop.

Crack a headlight and a front bumper after rear ending someone on a MB C300 was something like $4800.00.

Not mine just heard the story.

Wouldn't doubt. My Audi's headlight assemblies cost almost $1000 a piece.

Rear ended some broad in a Toyota Prius.

Her damage on her car bumber at $2700:

Just a huge scratch too...no internal damage.

Damage on my Lexus RX330 at $1700:

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c103/Stinky_tofu/IMG00075-20100706-1829.jpg

Mine just needed to be repainted, and that was $1700 with labour to remove the bumber and foglight, then repaint the bumper and reinstall everything.

So is $1800 a lot of damage? Maybe like 15 years ago yes, but now...it's like a scratched bumper.

R.I.P.

the cheapest estimate i got was ~7500 and thats only body work :(

[BensonTT]

So you guys say its safe to go thru with this deal?? Should I bargain with him more now since it has been involved in an accident?

[BokCh0y]

What kinda car you buying?

I think if you could live with the $1800 accident, it's fine. As long as it's all cosmetic and within a reason damage wise.

And yeah man, use it to bargain the price down. car's not a virgin anymore haha.

Late to the thread (fashionably), but yea OP my jetta recently got hit and the only thing that had to be replaced was a fender and an alignment had to be done, ran up a bill of $2300. So I wouldn't worry!

[freshprince1]

It's not a lot of money.




oh...and "alot" is not a word.

[K3RMiTdot]

some douche hit and run my car, two finger nail scratches are 630...

[nrt_vw]

it doesn't take much to add up body damage

[xnvy]

Sorry for bumping this thread but its better than making a new one. $8,400 for a 2005 WRX. Incident happened in 2009 and the damage was to the left front corner. While I feel $8,400 is a lot the incident happened two years ago. I'm thinking I should be fine as long as I get it inspected. Perhaps coincidentally, when I went to check out the car one of the clips on the front left corner was broken so the bumper was sticking out a bit.

So what do you guys think? Should I pass? :dunno:
