Was driving in wet weather on the weekend and I hit the back of a Mitsibishi Lancer GSR when he had to brake suddendly while I was looking in the other lane to over take him. In a split second braked hard and skdded into him. Just a unfortunate accident, obviously I'm at fault. ( I drive a current shape Celica)
Both pulled over and had a look at the damage which was minor. Some small scratches on his back bumper and it had moved a bit. My number plate was a bit bent and few minor scratches on my front bumber and a small cut from his angled muffler into my fog light area. We both exchanged our details and were on our way and I told him to send me the qoute for the damage and I'll pay for it. We were both casual about it beacuse it was'nt anything major.
Calls me up on the Monday as said the damage was around $2,000 and he'll send me the qoute. I just a bit more than suss on the cost of the damage. He claims there was some structual damage in the boot area from the accident. His back bumper was not even dented or out of shape when I inspected it after the accident. I'm waiting for the qoute in the mail but I feel it was not that hard of a shunt to do structual damage to his chassis. Opinions?
