Default New owner of 06-is250 sad first day ownership

Hi, everyone just got my 06 is 250 on Friday July 5th drove it back home. Then finished everything up with my bank on Tuesday. After done signing all the paper work I walk out to my car and someone hit it. I didn't even own for an hour.


(They were so nice they didn't leave a note)

Its not extreme but the first day.

Awww... That's awful!! I hate that people are so inconsiderate and selfish. This is awful. I'm sorry this happened to you.

Hoping that you got more than liability insurance. Or did you even have the chance? Is it fixed yet now that it's been a month?

I meant to say July 30 not 5. Only been driving it for 5 days. I have a insurance agent coming tomorrow. Its consider uninsured motorist 200 deductible. Not to painful considering I wasn't even in the car.

Sorry, I know the feeling and I get so ticked off when I see it happen to anyone else.

The base model other than 18 rims. The is redesign really caught my eye sporty appearance gas mileage and reliably. My previous car was a 2005 pontiac gto fast but nothing else and it was starting to get me in to trouble.
Also I was able to find a really good deal on this car higher mileage but price reflected that.

I'm a Pontiac fan myself but this IS is much better than the GTO in terms of reliability. Once this gets fixed, hopefully all the hurt from it will go away too. Treat a car well (baby it ) and it will take care of you. I'm sure you are on the way to that already.

Congrats on the new car! And despite the dent, it's still as beautiful as ever (It looks like mine! No after market mods!! )

Outside not so much one the ATM. The bank is in a strip center a little different and not like a normal bank. I came up with a conclusion that it's most likely someone from the bank base on where I was parked. Because people love to park in front or fairly near to where they are going. The only other places where a china restaurant (it was 2:30ish not much happen there) and nail salon. Not to mention there where multiple people in out while I was there.

Maybe I'm just thinking to much into or my inner csi detective is coming out.
