slight fender bender

Aechard12 · 03-03-2013, 07:17 AM

unfortuantly was in a slight fender bender yesterday. Seems like the bumper cover and drivers side fender need replaced not much damage past that. I bought it off a friend a while back and I'm not sure of all specifics of parts in it besides the important ones are all stage 2; clutch, turbo ect. It only has 64k on the engine so I figure this car is still worth some money. Should I replace these parts or try to just sell it all for around 5k or so?

For one pictures would help. We don't know what you consider "slight". 64k on the engine isn't much, and I'm pretty sure you could get more than 5k out of it. That being said we don't know your situation with money, how bad the damage really is, and what YOU want. I'd continue to drive the piss out of it with all that being said.

Was it your fault? Do you not have insurance??

Why wouldn't you get it fixed? These are things we can't really answer for you. If its just body panels, insurance should take care of it pretty quick.

Get it repaired!

This is a decision for YOU, NOT the internet. You need a valid estimate for repair, what you owe on the car, and a good idea of the resale value. Then you add and subtract values to determine which route would be the best which is bounced off of what YOUR thoughts are.
