So the officer saw you go WOT and lose control? If not they have no grounds to cite you just because you had an ACCIDENT. Say a fucking dog was in the road and you swerved to miss and lost control. If they saw you though, you're fucked.
I wouldn't give over $6k for the 05 with that many miles. Only that much if the body is PERFECT. High mileage is a waste of money to me since I buy and sell so much. I've never owned a vehicle with over 65k miles...
Sucks man. Make sure the shop blends it well or it will never match. I'd just fix it and sell it because it will never be the same. RFP is beautiful, but fades and is hard to match.
They probably just did not want to fuck with it. My dad writes estimates way over what it would usually be when he doesn't want to deal with the vehicle IE its a major POS or the owner is a fucktard.
When I was in Dallas this weekend getting yucky this nice elderly black man said "I sure do like your camaro"
I just said thanks and carried my 12 pack into my MUSTANG.
