Facts, I feel that if my car was anything other than german made- the impact and damage would have been much worse.
Nooooo.... that's my first benz, I'm riding that til the wheels fall off.. and I just bought it, haven't had that car a year yet..
But do you think there might be other problems other than the bumper? It's more aesthetic than anything, cracks in the paint, and a small piece of the grill is damaged.
No exaggeration, this is the 3rd time that I've been rear ended by someone following too closely or tailgating- I don't get what the f is going on. Because I've been noticing that since I started driving that car, people will drive up close behind me- and I'm not a slow driver at all and they do it in bumper to bumper traffic too.
Theres a reason why the resale value goes down immediately after an accident.
Sensors, the frame, bearings, the power train, the steering chain,the integrity of the cars structure etc ALL get affected by an accident no matter how minor or how major. the 'soul' of the car has been compromised and can lead to all kinds premature and varying wear and tear in different aspects.
third accident? get out while you can and get another one so you dont lose too money on your end
