Rented a parking space in Brooklyn and thought I had room turning onto the ramp exiting the garage. Railing swiped the side of the car. First day bringing it back and pretty annoyed about it.
Wanted to hear some opinions on how much people think this should be around to fix up. Dealership going to give me a quote from body shop but wanted to here some opinions here as well.
That’s a $10k job all day.
Yes! Where are these $20k quotes coming from?
Sorry to say it’ll never be the same with that much quarter damage in a spot like where it is; def go insurance and if ur worried about ur premium going up then u had no business buying into a Porsche in the first place
I used to do auto body work. You can find wholesale auto body pricing around $300-$400 per panel. Retail should be $800-$900 per panel. I almost fell over when I read $20,000. There are Macans you can purchase used for that amount. Best of luck!
I actually feel this
22k is a cost of used 996. To replace body panels for this is idiotic price. Shouldnt insurance cover it?
A little surprised with the 20k quotes but I guess it’s possible. Yeah insurance should. I don’t see a reason why they shouldn’t.
I love your wheels. I have those on my Q5
TIL the bolt pattern is the same
Thanks. Just took the car out for a drive. Love it more every time I drive it.
I just wanted to say I feel for you and godspeed
Thanks!!!
20k
Why is everyone so sure all panels need to be replaced? This looks like it can be repaired instead of replaced, should be done for 5k
Leave it , adds a nice touch
Go through insurance
Get a quote. From a top rated shop on google that is not a dealer and local to you. Tell them it’s not through insurance.
I had great success with a reasonable quote when I bumped my hood into a ford F150 at 5km/hr.
Assuming you have insurance, they will cover this. You pay your deductible, and wait like 3-4 weeks. We had a similar incident, actually two lol. My wife was making a right, and the person on her left that was suppose to go straight took a right too. Took a while but just paid my $1k deductible. The other time, I accidentally closed the garage opener while back into the garage. That was bad lol, that took 2 months because they had to order the rear spoiler that broke off. I saw the invoice, it was like $5k or so.
lol got the turo will pay for my car feel lol, umm I know a guy who can do it cheaper than totalling ur car…. Love the “what was that noise?” Idk but keep pushing, sounds like it’s going to end at some point !
$5-7k
