Default 4 days of ownership and I get damage!

I hit someroad debris that nailed the left "point" on the front bumper. Really ticked off at the redneck piece of trash that let the piece of a stove fall out of the back of his jacked up pickup. Pics to follow.

Sorry about your luck. Reminds me of the day I ran over a step ladder in my new 96' Maxima on my way home from the dealership. Just scuffed up the air dam but couldn't even make it home without damage.

Yeah, thanks. I was talking about it to some guys at work and they all have stories of bringing their new car home and something happening on the way from the dealer, (just like your story). So I guess I'm lucky I made it four days (I think).

Well I'll get it fixed and 3m the front of the car. I got a $850 quote to clear bra. I wonder if that's the going rate.....

If it makes you feel better, I backed into a yellow pillar in a parking garage exactly 7 days after getting my black A4. I have the back up camera and back up sensors, goes to show that no amount of technology can curb incompetence. Ha!

Good luck getting it fixed. I got mine done and they had to patch some gouges on the bumper and of course paint, ran about $620

To bad man, wife got into a fender bender about 3 months of ownership, cost $1400 to repair (new fender, paint, labor). I was quoted $750 for clear bra but I don't think hitting a brick is going to help in your case. I decided against it...
