Someone rear ended me - at the DEALER
I just finished picking up my license plates and while I was waiting to get on the feeder, an employee was leaving the dealership and rear-ended me. Less than 600 miles on the clock. She had insurance, I have insurance, but before I go drop it off at a body shop to get fixed, is there anything you think the dealership could/should do for me? It was on their property and their employee hit me. Totally not my fault. I wasn't even moving.
seriously bummed... -Mark |

That sucks man, i dont think the dealership could do anything, maybe just ask them to hook you up with with a rental car? Its their employee fault and the employee has insurance which they should take care of the problem.

Was the employee on company business, or was she going home? This isn't legal advice and it can vary depending on your jurisdiction, but generally if she was off the clock the dealership doesn't have to do anything.

She was heading home. Just didn't see me there I guess, or in a hurry. Oh well. **it happens... I just wish it hadn't. Saved up for years so I could drive a new car. Now I don't have one any more...

Man, that sucks! You'll get it back soon. As the saying goes, time makes the heart grow fonder... I think that's the saying.

I'm gonna try to post a picture, see if it works. This really really sucks. I can't even sleep I'm so pissed. From the looks of it, I don't think the frame was bent or anything. It drove fine on the way home. New bumper and tail light plus that black thing on the bottom. I have never had a car in the body shop before so I don't know how long it'll take. I know they have to order new parts & paint them, so I'm thinking 2 weeks?

make sure the insurance company pays the body shop to get you a new bumper and not just repaint it (they probably will get you a new bumper, but double check to make sure they don't cheap out on you). from the camera angle, the damage doesn't look that bad. rest well at night knowing that this is an easy fix.

Thats sucks =(
Doublecheck the mounting points where the bumper attaches to the QP. Sometimes in a bump like that where the bumper pops out, it fractures the paint around the mounting points and causes premature rust - seen it happen on a newer WRX.

I cringed when I saw the pic -- sorry that happened. I'm SUPER anal about dmg to the car.
If that were me i'd blow my top. You have my sympathy on this. I hope you get that eye sore repaired soon. it's still new, just "unique" now. |

You're right, the insurance adjuster said the impact made a small dent under the bumper where the paint cracked, which they're going to pull out, flatten & repaint. They're waiting on parts from the dealer and estimate it'll be done on Tuesday. I still feel a little sick when I think about it, but I'm getting better. I am so paranoid about door dings, I park away from other cars, and then this. I finally got a response from the dealer. He can't trade out the car because it's been titled already, but he offered me free synthetic oil changes for life. Not super excited about having someone else work on my car. It's never ended well for me. I asked if maybe he could just upgrade my rims, just a little something to give it some curb appeal and distract a buyer from the carfax report. We'll see... This has been just an awful week for me. The first rental car they gave me smelled like someone smoked in it, then dumped a big bottle of cologne out to cover the smell. I got one now that doesn't make my eyes bleed. And I found out yesterday that every time I go to sleep, I nearly die. Can't wait to see what happens next week... I'm going to get the body shop to snap some pictures now that the bumper's off. Maybe it's not so bad. Can't wait to get Ruby back... |

Hope the weekend fares better for you and next week is all smiles. Really does suck what happened.
Once you get her back, it'll all be but a distant memory~ |
