FUELER Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Got hit by an amateur driver who doesn't know how to drive a box truck. My QX was parked when this happened. The box truck driver tried to get away (hit and run) but i ran, hopped in my ride and chased him down, caught him about 8 blocks away trying to zig zag through the neighborhood. He was trying to get away - You can't escape me in my own hood!!! Anyways - heres my dilemma Take cash and leave it? Or take repairs? Also, how much $$ do you think this is??? (i already got an estimate but im wondering what you guys think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 You might be able to pop most of it out yourself and take some compound to it and take the heavyness of the marks out. Use the money for another set if wheel!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Take the guy to the cleaners. If he doesn't want to pay have him charged with hit and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Pop the dents and buff it out and take the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 While you have a pretty black QX, what are the miles on it? Yeah, I know here in Cali you can have a car for decades, just changing failed parts... Like Nunya said (although he knows better), pop the worst of it out and buff, compound and then touch up. I bet that would cover 75% of it. If anyone asks about the rest, tell them about the time that you slid sideways into a bull just south of Rosario... I say take the cash, but the nasty in me says burn the bastard as hard as you can in any manner for the hit and run. Have to ask though, box vans are big and have edges. Did he know he clipped you, it is fairly minor... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Take the money, call it "trail damage" and be on your way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpheus Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 It looks like you might need a tail light too, but it's hard to tell from the pics... I could get it fixed for about $750 (ish), but it would probably be around $1200-$1500 retail to repair. Get several estimates, take 3 that you feel describe the damage the best, average the cost out from the 3 of them and tell the guy to pay you cash for that amount. Then you can buy some sweet christmas presents and worry about fixing it later. If he won't pay, then call the insurance company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
