I ran to Walmart at lunch to buy a bag of dogfood. When I came out parking lot cart boy came over and pointed out a red beat up pick up truck that had hit me pulling in then ended up parking in a different spot. I waited a bit for him to come out. Parking lot cart boy came back out and told me manager said I should call police.
Called them and a bit later guy comes walking out and starts to get in his truck. I yelled out to him that I know he is the one who hit my Cayenne. Hit made up an excuse saying he had pulled in and was too close so he backed into another spot. He claimed he did not realize he hit me. I told him too bad as if he had waited for me I likely would have just asked for a bit of cash and call it good. But now cops are pulling in. Cop took our info and is filing report.
This is my old '08 daily driver Cayenne with 240k on the clock and I can likely buff most of it out including sanding buffing the tail light but will be interesting to see what my estimate ends up at. A few small places the paint is rubbed off to the plastic. I have never been in this situation but am hoping his insurance just writes me a check for estimates I will get from some local body shops.
I felt bad for the young punk, but he was obviously lying as his truck also had some decent fresh scrapes on his bed. He told the cop he heard something but did not feel anything so he assumed he did not hit me.
I have always done my own paint and body work so I have no idea what kind of money will be involved.
