Old man hit my new truck..smh!

I was walking back to my truck from the post office and this 80yr old man walks up to me and says "sorry but I hit your truck when i was backing out and my bumper is stuck". You have got to be Freaken kidding me!
As we were exchanging information the man had an expired insurance card and expired registration. Luckily he is also insured with usaa and we filled the claim right then and there. What a great day to start the weekend!

 

luckily the rest of the bumper is okay and i'll just need to replace that corner. Do you guys know if this will show up in my carfax?

 

Probably.. Unless you fix it yourself.

 

yea maybe...with deductibles and such should have made some deal outside of insurance and he pays cash??? think you can still do that and the insurance co will step out?

 

Damn, that sucks! Poor baby Taco.
I think it would show up on a carfax, unfortunately.
Good luck, man. Maybe you should consider some aftermarket bumpers, so that God forbid there is a next time, you'll be protected.

 

I was under the impression things don't show up on carfax that are considered low speed collisions. I had my Dodge Challenger SRT8 that my CFO had backed into back in 2011 and it never showed up on the carfax. He was doing like 3 mph and the whole front assembly had to be replaced. The dealership body shop did all the work too so I don't know what the rules are, maybe they vary by state.

 

I feel your pain my friend...Mine was involved in an accident yesterday..6-7,000$ to fix it

 

No way will this be on carfax.

I basically tottalled one out put it on frame machine yes with insurance and no dinged carfax.

Carfax helps but is nor totally reliable. My .02

How did it hit front backing out? At least he was honest and stopped also. Gl op

 

I hate parking lots. Sorry about your luck, that dude probably shouldn't be driving, I wonder if he didn't get stuck under your bumper if he would have just drove off. I think but am not sure if filing a claim with insurance is what flags the VIN for involvement in an accident? This 3 piece bumper looks like it was a good design decision.

 

Is the bottom section of your fender also damaged ?

 

ummmm, he needs his license taken away........if you're 70+ you need to take a driver skills test every 3 years to keep your license.....just my opinion of what needs to happen.

 

I meant the bottom section of your bed...

 

That's being generous. I always supported the elderly getting bi-annual or yearly exams to ensure they are coherent and capable of driving. 70 is the new 60 these days though for most.

 

Just a truck.
Be happy he stopped and told you.

 

You're a kings fan, It is probably just karma

 

Yes, you filed a claim.

At least he didn't just drive off though

 

Old ppl will be the death of me

 

A. He wasn't backing out, he was pulling forward after backing out.

B. Insurance companies don't report accidents to Carfax, body shops do.

C. Why fix it yourself ? Let his policy with USAA pay for it.

 

Thats what were hoping for
