Dodgefan, sometimes with a thorough teardown, a damage estimate CAN double, if the estimator does a drive-by estimate first off. I am glad you got what you wanted in the end. How's that $600 repair holding up on your Prizm?

Very well thanks. drive it every day and just took it to Maine with my car last weekend.

Did I ever mention it was rear ended a second time by some old guy in a beat to hell 80's Town Car? Yeah that was the final straw for delivery for me. Only put a couple scratches in the bumper at least.

Sorry about your car CSpec. How is the new 5-speed treating you?
