My parents took my car out last night for dinner. As they were trying to back out. A silver SUV slammed into the rear of the car. Smashed my Hatch in, but didn't break the window. It also messed up my rear bumper. I was just wondering how much it would be to get a new Hatch, and bumper. Her insurance company is going to pay for it, but I want to know what i have to look forward to. I hope they think its worth fixing. 135,000 miles 1997. |  |  | | 04-30-2007, 04:33 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Los Alamos, NM Posts: 344 |

Oh man that sucks... I hope it all works out. My car was hit&run last week and I'm still grieving. It doesn't look totaled though so I wouldn't worry that much. | | | | | 05-01-2007, 02:57 AM | #7 | | Member Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: La Crosse, WI Posts: 45 |
Yeah I went to get some estimates today. They told me it was going to be $2600. It is the most I've ever been quoted for such little damage. everything has to be new. Crazy. | | | | | 05-01-2007, 01:33 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Cincinnati Posts: 890 |
I don't see alot of damage on the bumper, I'd gladly buy it off you if your getting a new one.
Mine is definitely worse than yours.. __________________

Maybe it's time to upgrade to Carbon Fiber hatch.
Since it's black anyway.
Good Luck with it. __________________

Thanks guys. I was just wondering who sells a CF Hatch. That would be sweet to have one of those. Seeing as I'm getting a new one. | | | | | 05-01-2007, 06:33 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Cincinnati Posts: 890 |
I think there is a thread around here about CF hatches. I didn't think anyone actually made them though. Check the search.
I'm serious about your bumper. Don't let them throw it away. __________________

Ok I'll save it. I know it can be repainted. The paint was just scraped off the top. I'll let you know. | | | | | |
