    Insurance said not to claim against the car directly behind me because they're just going to say they were pushed into me anyway which is correct. So my claim will be covered under uninsured motorist coverage and then they will try to go after the crackhead woman who hit the car behind me.

    I have an appointment at the body shop this afternoon. I can't open the engine compartment because the deck lid is bent.. but the car seems to be running fine. I'm not so worried about a perfect repair, just the hassle of having a rental and waiting etc etc... it's just a pain in the ass..... Also - It's a LEASE... I WAS thinking of buying the car at the end of the lease - but no more - Now I'll get a new one !!!




    You're better off because it is a lease. If it was financed you would be the one hurt in the re-sale value.



    The fact that it's leased won't help. Upon lease turn-in, the car will be inspected for all types of damage, especially evidence of accident repair, which they will find no matter how well the repair is done. They will most certainly devalue the car appropriately and he will have to pay for the loss of value out of his pocket (or buy the car). I've been through all this before.




    If you got hit w/ expenses for accident repair on a lease you shouldn't have. Been down the finance route and lease route many many times too and in my experiences I've never been hit w/ charges on a lease because of a prior accident. Usually for my wife I lease vehicles for her for this very reason if I was trading in a finance or trying to sell privately I always feel compelled to answer honestly when someone asks about accidents. So far I've never been asked by a leasing inspector whether the vehicle has been in an accident, they care that the vehicle looks good without any visible damage that's all.

    Absolutely right, so long as the repairs were not substandard.
