insurance deductable...

I'm sure this is a stupid question... but why would you need parts? Did you not have full coverage?

pay the deductable!
And drop it off at a highly recommended body shop in your area.

If you get it done 1/2 assed... Your probably not going to be happy with it. Seems your trying to come out $$ ahead on this deal?

lol

thats the dumbest thing i have ever heard, don't try to profit off of a misfortune, get it fixed and pay your deductable, when a body shop uses new parts they have a warranty, used ones do not, (my left headlamps fogs since the accident, it was replaced with a new unit - warranty replacement on the way)

something tells me this guy is not telling us everything.

He has full coverage, ok, then his deductible should be $500. Now, what kind of profit are you going to make? A few bucks?

Hell, I wrecked my front end, and was GLAD to only have to pay 10k to fix it, and I DID NOT HAVE ANY INSURANCE.

My two cents: Don't be a cheep ass, pay the $500 and call it a loss.
