I think that guy was just trying to make you feel better. I don't think 9K in damages will total most new cars. My father had an accident in his new (500 miles) Buick in 1998. 8K in damages. They fixed it and it's still on the road. You are probably going to eat the $500 deductible. |

If a cheap one, then I can see it being totalled. If over $20k, then you've got a LONG way to go to get it totalled. Hopefully you'll know soon enough.

but I will say this...anyone pulling out of a parking lot or driveway, onto a roadway, usually has to yield the Right of Way to traffic already on the roadway...and, it was stated that the poster was "pulling out of the dealership" While not jumping to conclusions, I would be interested to know "the rest of the story"... |
