Neighbor hit my car..advice? (pics)

Profit. Are you fucking serious!? I wouldn't ask for any money at all, especially if e30 wasn't mint prior. Just order new trim and call it a day. What difference does a couple hundred dollars make amongst neighbors. Money comes and goes. Your talking about legal grounds and quotes and insurance and him avoiding you, its got you worried, I would just let it go and not worry about it anymore.

He was honest about and went and told your wife about the accident which is a good thing. So in return dont screw him over with like a 4 to $500 quote.

OP - Think about this for a second.

What is your deductible? 250, 500?
What is that bumper/trim worth really $40 for the trim and used plastic bumpers go for what nowdays $50-100?
What do you think a SHOP will quote? Deff. more than the above, and probably more than your deductible.

So, why not be a good fucking person since the other dude came forward and work something out instead of trying to get cash out of it.

And what difference does it make where the guy is from or if he doesn't speak english? Why even mention that. That has NOTHING to do with anything related to your pyle of crap car with spray painted lights. You shady fuck.

So I am out of town for work, and I get a call this morning from my wife that my neighbor across the street backed into my e30.

This guy is middle eastern, turban and all. Barely speaks English. Apparently he came over and told my wife that the night before he backed his mini-van into my car. Props to him for admitting it, but don't know how he did it seeing as how our streets are like 3 car lanes wide. At the time, our newborn was screaming so my wife had to run inside to tend to him. The neighbor took off in the meantime, and wont answer his door. My wife was able to talk with his son, who said that his dad may want to not involve insurance, and just pay me whatever a body shop would quote to fix it.



How should I go about this situation? I am worried that he will try to fuck me over, or come back and say the quote is too high.



I am thinking I can just get a high quote, take his cash, then buy new Euro Trim and repair the crack. Profit.



How can I cover my ass here?

What does ethnicity have anything to do with it?..
And oh, I didn't know Middle Easterns wore turbans

"Dudes" Mom backed into my car leaving a pretty big dent in the front quarter. She gave me 100 bucks, I was overjoyed. Seriously dude, there's barely any damage. Be a Man, and forgive the guy. We all make mistakes.

So you are afraid he is going to screw you, meanwhile you are talking about getting a high quote and screwing him over???

The guy contacted you, why is going to now screw you. Just do the right thing, get a proper quote and fix it to how it was ... Its going to look better anyways, its not like you had a cream puff anyways

Bingo accidents happen. Be a good person and do the right thing.

He hit the tire

Epoxy your bumper together and replace your trim. Bill him for the cost of the trim. Or even get the parts and try to find a Calypso bumper with trim and bill him for just that. You seem like you're trying to screw him over while not trying to get screwed over. How about you just make it fair for both of you?
