My neighbor came by this evening and said that his wife had accidentally backed into my 914. It was parked along a curb and when she backed out of her spot she simple didn't cut it tight enough. He admitted complete fault and is having me get a quote to run through his Allstate insurance. This should be pretty cut and dry.
The damage is limited to mid/upper part of the passenger side door and rear quarter panel. She created a hefty dent/caved in scrape right at the door handle level and both panels are caved in a least an inch. I'll take pics in the morning (yes, this piwwp). Both panels were in very good, straight condition before the accident. I'm thinking about getting a few estimates. First from Precision Auto here in Santa Rosa and then from Yeaman Auto Body in Palo Alto. I want my door and rear quarter panel replaced, not repaired, and I want the car painted. How can they expect to color match ten year old paint correctly, right? I don't think I'm being unreasonable (am I?). Damage pics coming in the morning. Boo, but I'm lucky my neighbor stepped up to the plate and has reputable insurance. The car is in very good condition (or at least WAS in very good condition): (IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3255/2295135137_53190bbfd2.jpg) (IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3239/2295139433_cfa7c9ca45.jpg) |
