He pointed out the fact that there was a secondary ripple about 5 inches to the right on the main dent. He also mentioned that because this particular paint is almost impossible to get an exact match with, that they'd have to blend the paint into the adjacent panels. After all was said and done, he "guestimated" that it would be a $1500 job!!! Needless to say, I was a little surprised, and I was very curious to see what the insurance adjuster would have to say about that. To be honest, I was doubtful that the insurance company would agree to pay that much.

So...imagine my surprise when I check my voicemail and I listen to a message from the insurance adjuster. "Hi...this is so-and-so from Progressive. I went down to the shop to inspect the damage, and the final estimate for the repair came to...

$2165

So...it looks like one of our earliest guesses was the best guess! Congrats Sibze. Let me know where I can send the five spot and I'll ship it right over. I really can't believe it myself....I'm still shocked. If i was paying this out of pocket I would be 100% convinced that I was getting severely ripped off. But as long as my insurance company is willing to pay it, then no skin off my back I suppose!

This contest was fun and exciting...although it was only for $5. We should have more contests like this.

I took the car for a wash because it was bloody filthy. Got it back and was admiring it only to find a big old chip in the front bumper.

Oh well. I'm not bothered. Although I'm posting this 'news' here, it isn't a wah, but a 'it's only a car and it was bound to happen sooner or later' kind of thing.

Besides, I'm always relieved when the first knock/ding/chip happens because the second one isn't so bad. And then the third barely matters at all.
