Got hit this morning...

Indeed!

When I had my '09, I accidentally backed into someone in my driveway. I was in "go to work" mode and totally forgot that I had visitors. The only damage to my rear bumper were some scratches down to the plastic, and a chipped tail light. My original thinking was that I would skip repairing the light, as it did not break the housing, and just get the paint damage fixed w/o insurance. I quickly changed my mind after visiting a collision shop. The estimate was over 2Gs to repair all of the damage. Needless to say, I filed a claim.

Coincidentally, I'm going to get a damage estimate tomorrow regarding my accident last weekend. Care to make an over under on the cost of repairs? What I can tell you is damaged is the front bumper, left fender, left front wheel and tire, and probably the wheel arch plastics. From my previous experience, Nissan will want to replace everything, rather than repair. I'm going to see if I can get a new set of tires, rather than just the one. I don't think there is anything wrong with the suspension components. I'm also not sure how they are going to handle the wheel. It's a 19" TE37 with a nasty bend on the lip. The bead did not break and the tire has been holding air just fine. A wheel repair shop said it can be straightened and then powder coated, but I don't think Nissan / State Farm will go for that.

I'll say 3K is the low 6K is the high...
