411 on collision

I just got into an accident and i regret it horribly. I hit a fellow older model Mitsubishi Eclipse. I just cracked the corner of his bumper while mine was more injured. I punctured my right tire, broke off the passenger side tie rod, cracked right bottom corner of bumper, amber reflector fell off, fender nicked/bent, and long mild dented/scraped on both right doors, and lastly scraped a little before the wheel.

I managed to bring the price down from [COLOR = red]$2800[/COLOR] to $2000 with just "repair" bumper instead of replace it, and no buying of another tire/wheel.

You guys still think this is too much, reasonable???

A year ago my car was involved in a collision where I damaged the driver's side front end plus hood.

Broken Headlight Assembly, Hood completed ruined, fender bent, no frame damage, no suspension damage, no engine damage, no bumper damage but my body shop still managed to squeezed over $6k from the insurance co.

They did replace everything with original Mitsu Parts though.

damn... thats alot.... i had damage to my fender, headlight assembly, bumper, wheel well lining plus the tri-color pearl paint. Lots of places were saying 1500 for it. I dound a place that would do it for 500. I'm not really worried to much about the paint i just want the damage fixed. If the paint turns out crapy i'll spend the couple hundred buck to get it repainted.

I recently got into an accident. around $2400 to fix my lancer. needed a new front bumper, right fender, right headlight, damage to the hood, a new window washer tank, and a few other things. Whatever really, **** happens, thats why you have insurance.
