go through your insurance

 

heres the thing i have till 4pm today to file a claim if he dont pay

 

Don't be a fool. Who cares what the other guy is driving. Just because he has a mercedes-benz doesn't mean he has money. You don't know what his financial situation may be and if you don't go through insurance, he is not obligated to pay for the damage.

FYI...a person will say anything if it helps them get out of trouble. Food for thought!

 

I had an off duty cop tap my rear end and spiderweb my paint. He didn't want to go through insurance and wanted to pay out of pocket. Since he was a cop, I trusted him. He gave me a contact number and everytime I called, it went to voicemail. Learned my lesson.. never again

 

Updates?

 

I got some qoutes he's giving me a grand and we are calling it even I got qoutes to fix it ranging from 870-1500 I'm happy with 1000 cause I'm just gonna get a chargespeed bumper and have some money left. It was an accident I understand I was ok with not going trough the insurene cause he is a young kid like me a d rates would sky rocket he he dosent pay me I still have time to go through the insurance so I am covered

 

got the money in my hand

 

Thanks for hitting me got my chargespeed bumper today love it will post pix later

 

OP is an idiot! Some 'kid' hit me a few days ago. No license, no insurance, wasn't his car, blah, blah. I made two calls at the scene, the police and my ins. I wound up with a claim getting started and he wound up in jail. I'm a grown up and use the proper channels, I don't give a **** what 'kids' do.

 

yes im an idiot i made a police report the kid got a ticket for his inspection and i got a grand from him i chose not to go through the insurence company for my own reasons. i made sure i was still in my window of time to contact them if he dident pay. i also went out and got qoutes that ranged anywere from 870-1500 im not gready and $1000 was fine with me i also inspected the car and everything is fine no other damage besides the bumper cover.

 

It's great that it worked out for you, but it's certainly not something I'd rely on consistently.

 

i always have a back up plan thats why i still filed a police report. kinda felt bad the kid got a ticket he was a nice guy down to earth honest mistake you know. but hey his mistake got me the rear bumper i aways wanted less money out of my pocket right

 

and here it is the beautiful chargespeed rear bumper

 

Cool.
