Guess The Repair Bill!

JPBesl · 11-21-2008, 11:10 AM

Hey guys, we're doing a betting pool in the office on the repair bill for a guy's A4. Yeah it's not a Bimmer so I put this post in off-topic.

Anyway, the story is that a rotted old tree in the front of his house fell right on his rear window. No frame damage, but a busted window and body panel damage.

You can see the pics here:

So what do you think? I have my own idea but I won't influence you by saying it.

Wow these numbers are all over the place! Keep in mind, it's Price Is Right rules, so if I'm over, I'm out. Gotta be conservative!

txusa03 · 11-21-2008, 01:04 PM

NYBMW335 · 11-21-2008, 02:14 PM

^ lol, I was a victim of a hit and run twice, by the same drunk driver that lived on my block.

By the way that is some quick respond time.

The_Blob · 11-21-2008, 08:34 PM

$2000 max.

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 11-21-2008, 09:47 PM

It's going to be aroung $9-10k For sure!
I know you say estimate is about $6k but trust me. . . that is just a base.
It'll go up and up and up.
I know from experience

radix · 11-21-2008, 10:01 PM

$100-$400 for a good detail. That will buff right out.
