Heavy traffic. Truck in front of me stopped short. I stopped. Car behind me didn’t. Boom.

Sigh.

Yay for immediately plummeted resale value.

Can’t report it to Carfax if there’s no police report and your body shop does cash jobs

You’re getting a new bumper for your 6? ME TOO! Except mine has some paint damage from the dealership, rather than me getting rear-ended.

It was already wrecked. This made it even worse. I wish I’d have gotten a picture of it but the cop showed up pretty quick.

At least I only owe 9 grand on it. I plan to have it paid off by next year at the latest (when it will be three-years-old).

Defiantly go after their insurance for diminished value. You should be able to get a grand or two.

I don’t even know if my wreck was reported to CarFax, and it was a lot worse than yours . I didn’t notice an increase in records after it happened.

That sucks and I fell your pain. I was rear ended in my 6 i July and now have a smashed front from a red light runner two weeks ago . My 6 will have gotten a new rear and front within two months.

Sometimes I feel bad judging people by the state of their car, but people who drive heavily dented vehicles like morons are the ones I feel ok about judging . Hope this is resolved as painlessly as possible.

Same, I try not to judge but today a girl driving a Cavalier ran past a yield sign when I had the right of way and I ensured she heard my horn.
