This REALLY sucks!!!

Picked up my son from school yesterday and got hit by a driver who was exiting the parking lot. Airbags did not deploy but the damage to the car is pretty extensive... Considering that the car is only 1.5 month old...

It looks bad, but, the damage seems superficial. It will be fixed no problem. The BMW did not fair so well. Good luck with the repairs.

my big pro for leasing, you basically crashed MBUSA's car, not yours. Car doesn't feel 100% after repairs, turn it in and get a new one in a year or two.
