Ok so I hit someone and I would like to know what I might pay to fix it


They say it needs a new headlight, hood, grille, and bumper I guess what you think I would pay for this ?

 

$12,000.

 

I was quoted 2500 .... Why so high ?

$2500 seems about right. You could find the OEM parts yourself and save some money, but I'd still have it done professionally. Either bite the bullet and pay, or just take it up with your insurance. Not much else to it.

 

Don't you have insurance?

 

Sad first post
No way to get accurate estimate repairs from a picture, it's typical that parts hidden from view are also damaged.
Good Luck w/ the repair, how long have you had your car?

 

Glad it was a minor accident. Accidents are pretty freaking scary.

I assume car front of you stopped and you weren't looking and it was too late?

 

I had the car less then a month and it was a bunch of all way stop signs for about 5 blocks and then the last one was a regular stop sign and I tapped a oncoming van my car was damaged his wasn't

 

That damage looks like it's more than just a tap. Go to some body shops and get estimates. Are you trying to decide to put the claim through the insurance company?

 

I too did have front end damage on my car. Cost the insurance about $10k to fix. Cost to me, $0.

New bumper, bumper reinforcement, radiator, airbag system, seat belts, 3 stages paint and etc..

 

I'd guess $5000 easy.

 

No not 5k its outta be lower. Not sure how much G37 parts cost but without paint a grand or less for parts, if you can find the parts in a junk yard with matching paint is a huge plus but I've never seen a g37 in a junk yard. (Hood is fixable no need to replace and not sure about right fender but seems It isn't damaged from pic)

paint job well seeing you're in a pickle for money you'd prolly end up having someone like Macao do it for $400 (crappy results but passable) or a good paint shop it'll run u about another grand.

Moral of the story: buy full coverage insurance if you don't have a few G's sitting in the savings account. specially for a car like a G35/37 as they're not that cheap compare to say an impala.

 

uhhh i would suspect the accident was his fault and no damage was incurred by other vehicle hence not claiming this accident to insurance.

 

2500 seems about right if its repaired with non-oem parts. OEM about 5-7k
