Traded my 2010 Miata Grand Touring with 28k miles plus $5k for a black 2010 base 370 Z. Love the powered, still trying to adjust to the 6 speed clutch ( different from miata).

Bought the car a week ago and yesterday, a lady making a right turn ahead of me started out, I looked left and started but she had jammed her breaks. I tried to avoid but lightly hit my front right fender. Can't believe hardly anything happened to her rear and my right fender crumpled a bit. Estimate to replace fender, paint fender and bumper is $1250.

The body shop guy says aluminium fender is trash and paint is lousy.

In any case, I got to give the car in for 3 days next Tuesday.

Hopefully, my car would recover fully. I am driving it and enjoying it but cannot wait for it to get pretty again.

Welcome and sorry to hear about the accident. It is pretty demoralizing when you get sidelined at the start. Hopefully this gets sorted out quickly.
