The lady admits her fault and would like to settle privately. Anyone has an idea of if I should settle privately? If so, how much it will cost to replace the bumper? Thank you very much!
We had a hatchback rear ended a few weeks ago. Bumper is cracked but otherwise it looked okay. Until I pulled the plastic interior trim back. The entire rear panel is waffled. Got a quote of almost $5000 to repair.
I'm not sue happy but I'd go get a quote from an actual bodyshop and hand it to the lady. If she doesn't like it, go through insurance. There's a pretty good chance there's a bunch of tinfoil bent that you can't see.
