CrazyInside Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Someone slammed either a door or something into my car while it was parked and dented it :(. Anyone know a good shop that is decently priced? I'm 23 with no accidents or tickets and my insurance is 230 a month, so I can't see me reporting this on it, will probably go up to 300 a month. This is what it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPaquatics Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Just got one of those on my element. My insurance doesnt really go up for a small claim like that but the deductible isnt worth it. Is it leased? I just learned to live with mine. Body work is spendy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohaynow Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Fenders are real easy to swap out, might be cheaper to buy one and have it painted and switch it out yourself. It was probably some hater in an evo having a fit of subie jealousy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyInside Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Not leased I own it, I checked fenders. They are crazy expensive plus I have the "special" paint that is also crazy expensive to match lol. I can't stand dents on cars, people need to fess up when they ruin peoples stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohaynow Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Maybe its time to upgrade to carbon fiber fenders? I'd still paint em to match tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanktop74 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 So sorry to hear about your damage! I once had someone key my side of my suburban in a parking garage, made me sick! My insurance covered it as a hit and run. My rates didn't go up at all. I would call to inquire if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone keyed it, then just to finish it off, they kicked the drivers door in (cops figured it was some jealous kids) $10,000 damage! (custom paint, had to repaint everything but the roof) & it did not effect his rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danik Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Small damage not worth taking it to the insurance. Anything that goes throughout insurance will show up in auto check later. Extra questions when you sell the car. Also your rates don't go up but it does leave a mark that a claim was paid out, next time when something bigger happens it will go up. Also I don't know why but insurance is expansive for wrx and even more for the sti. I was shopping around for a car this year and if I went with 2010 Nissan gtr it was going to be cheaper than what I ended up getting 2011 STI sedan. But I needed 4 doors.

Wrx and sti's are mainly bought by the younger crowd, which mods them and ends up wrecking them where a gtr is a 90k+ car. Not many 23 year olds have that laying around to go wreck . Also the coupe is cheaper vs the sedan in insurance because of the 4 doors, they weigh it by you having more people in your car when you wreck it. Insurance should be based on the driver though not the masses. 230 a month for no tickets/accidents is retarded. Got to love insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
