was hit 15 MINUTES after getting my car! Estimate - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I got my car today, bittersweet..

15 minutes after getting it a car swerves and hits me, not my fault.

Anyways we couldnt find them. Went to the police etc.

Its dark and rainy outside so I cant get a decent pic.. but what would yall's estimate be on the cost of repairs?

The pic above shows where the damge is, its scratched and dented in in red. Will there need to be new body panels?

wow, I'm so sorry!!! hopefully she'll get fixed quick for you

Indpowr · 10-26-2009, 08:49 PM

WOW, that is insane and sad..sorry

You need way better pictures, all it looks like to me is your IBM has red lines on it...

Rockytophummer · 10-26-2009, 08:52 PM

Damn that sucks bad! But it's hard to give you estimate unless you can see actual pictures of the damage. Don't know the severity of dents on if they can be pulled or if fender needs to be replaced. But regardless I know it had to be a sickining feeling! I couldn't imagine! It sucks dude didn't stop! Hopefully you will catch dude out somewere! And as people say Karma is a bitch and hopefully it will come back to bight dude in the rear!!! Maybe his cars burning to the ground as we speak!

two_wheel_mayhem · 10-26-2009, 08:55 PM

does it need parts?

Body parts are cheap for those.

I'd guess no more than 2000.

JSOC_MQ1 · 10-26-2009, 08:57 PM

Well, I know the entire front bumper to be replaced and repainted at a dealer (depending upon your labor charge, mine was $54/ hour) is $1058. The actual bumper is around $358.

I don't know about the front right fender.

Sorry to hear hope everthing works out and it gets fix soon

RMGee · 10-26-2009, 08:59 PM

Dude connor ive seen you post around here and I know youve been looking foward to this! So so so so sorry

JSOC_MQ1 · 10-26-2009, 09:00 PM

Just to repaint a quarter pannel was like $350 as well, but I don't know the cost of a new fender.

IROCanSS · 10-26-2009, 09:07 PM

seriously doubt it needs a new fender. Sheet metal can be fixed pretty easily. Without decent pics though, who knows... sorry dude.

beegroovie · 10-26-2009, 09:08 PM

That definitely beats my record. I had mine just 6 weeks and it was hit in a parking lot (waaaayyy out in the back). Luckily, I was with the car and the other guy's insurance paid for every bit of getting back to showroom condition. Fortunately, they didn't have any trouble getting parts. My heart goes out to you. Good luck with the repairs.

rodimus prime · 10-26-2009, 09:11 PM

How do you get hit by someone and not be able to find them?

JSOC_MQ1 · 10-26-2009, 09:21 PM

Well, my experience was that I had mine for 7 weeks. Then while waiting in traffic in a left had turn lane, I had a 17 yr old decide he didn't want to wait any longer and backed up into my front bumper.

The funny part about it was when he saw it was a camaro he dropped to his knees saying "Oh my God it's a new camaro"

I couldn't go off on him too much after that.
