Default Accident after only three months of ownership

Really sad -- literally moments after getting the car washed I was rear ended, causing me also the strike the car in front of me as well. Hoping there's no hidden major damage...

I was bumped from behind at <5 mph only 1 1/2 months into ownership. It's not fun, but at least it was all fixed!

It'll cost a pretty penny, but your car seems like there won't be any "hidden" major damage.

It looks like you might be fortunate enough to get new headlights along with your repairs lol.

I feel your pain. OUCH! GS350 Imapct

I went through something similar after just a few months of ownership myself. It looked awful, but all is well again. Like XxGoKoUxX said, it might cost a pretty penny, though...mine sure did.

Good luck!

Look at the inconsistency in the gap between the bumper and trunk on the right side.
