Got Rear ended

According to the body shop, $2500 in damage....
The other persons insurance is covering it...
However, they promised me a "Comparable car" and I got a 2007 Pontiac G5...

Its "comparable" because it has 4 wheels and an engine right. But the G5 also has a rear bumper too. Good luck with the repair.

I hope you, yourself is fine. Also hope your car makes a speedy recovery!

G5.. show them what you think. Do several burnouts and launches. That way you can return the sucker with bald rears and an f'd up tranny!

.. Just kidding.. unless you really want to!

Could be worse. When I messed up my front bumper a few years ago, I had to drive a Chevy HHR for a few weeks. I almost hugged my car when I got her back.

Perfect opportunity to help the autobody shop find some "cost cutting" after market parts... like, uh, maybe a body kit? I've found that after an accident, if you can find aftermarket parts that you like more than OEM, and they are the same price or less, you can get away with an upgraded car. Maybe not in your case, since it was only the rear bumper cover. But good luck and enjoy that rental!

G5? FAIL! I had a 2009 G6 for a week.. oh it was epic. What a joke. Felt like it was assembled at gun-point.

I'm surprised that's just $2,500 in damage, actually. Looks like more than that!

The other persons insurance.. they give me $40 a day... the brake light was out on the G5, so they gave me the new focus... which actually isnt bad with the whole mediasync package.

Are you joking? WTF. The THIRD line of the FIRST post in this thread:

The other persons insurance is covering it...
If all you are going to read is the title of the thread (or first line of first post), perhaps you shouldn't post in it and make yourself look like a moron?
