I wouldn't be shocked if it got up into the four digits. They're going to have to beat on that quite a bit, which means they'll have to repaint it, which means they'll have to redo the clearcoat on that whole side of the bed. That's going to run into a pretty good labor bill.

$1100 and some change. I'm paying the shop directly to avoid rising insruance rates.

Man, this must be nice. I mean, tough that you had the bad luck, but I'm sitting here with the pieces of my $900CDN mirror on my desk. This is the 4th atrocity visited upon my poor truck while it was parked and minding its own business since I bought it and not once did the perpetrator come forward.

$1100 is pretty cheap when you put that in context to the price of a drivers side door mirror on these things.

EDIT- If the other guy went to insurance, then your insurance is going to find out about it.

Oh my insurance knows about it but no claim will be filed to hike my rates up. I spoke with the adjuster letting him know it'll be settled without insurance.

Man if this was my state the other guy would be taking it to a friend who knows a guy and claim it as a $3k fix and pocket the rest. Consider yourself lucky, $1100 is a good price.

I rear ended a "friend" and put a few scratches in his bumper. Bumper was $300 bucks but he got $9000 for it. Car was worth $10000. And my insurance paid it. Sued for "bodily injury" too. RI is very corrupt that way. My dad put his license plate bolt through a beat up 80s corolla a few years back in bumper to bumper traffic and the guy got somewhere close to a thousand. That's why RI premiums are so high

Consider yourself lucky

Be careful. My understanding is that once you pay, your insurance is "out" meaning if the other person comes back in two weeks with neck injuries or can't sleep or has ED,...that will be on you too....not your insurance.
