August 17, 200619 yr So. on monday I had the afternoon off and was running around town trying to get some stuff done. I am taking a couple classes up at NDSU this fall so i ran up to get everything paid up and ready to go. I get all of it done quickly as I am parked illegally in a parking lot not far from the union. I hop in the Impala and back out of my spot, put it in drive and am about to head forward just as a professor in a brand new lexus ES backs right into my door...............went through the whole reporting thing and went to go get an estimate.......$1300, and her insurance company doesn't even know if they are going to pay for it because it was a parking lot accident. GRRRRRRRR. I'm goign to be REALLy pissed if i end up having to pay anything for that lady running into me. I mean seriosly i think the Impala is getting sick of being ran into.....this is accident numero 4. The city of fargo has not been good to this car at all and I have only been driving in 1 of the accidents.....this one. Anyway im going to end this rant now. I'll try to get a couple picks up tomorrow.
August 17, 200619 yr sorry to hear about your Impala scharmer. Hope that it get fixed, no matter what, as long as you don't get stuck with the bill.
August 17, 200619 yr "Not covered because its a parking lot accident"? That's a load of crap. They need to cover it regardless. And if this is your 4th accident, we're tied. Sorry to hear it and hope everything works out and it gets fixed good as new! Keep us updated...
August 18, 200619 yr *whew* I just got in. I've been threading 20 old tires through a rope and draping it around my truck. This is crazy!
September 1, 200619 yr Author I never got a chance to take any pics of the car after the wreck, but I already got paid by her insurance company and the car is back to normal. They ended up paying for 85% (they try'd to give me 70%, until i damn near made the lady cry over the phone) of the damages, which amounted to about 1225 based on the estimate that they came up with. I took it up to a body shop just across the border into Canada. They do great work and are very reasonable. Ended up costing me 1100 canadian to get it fixed, and I didn't have t pay any tax on it, so i ended up pocketing about 200 bucks through the whole deal.
