Sorry to hear that. I could understand the pain and frustration that you're probably going through, as my new 3GS was scratched up recently, albeit my own fault, but nevertheless, still scratches. The dealer was able to buff all the scratches out, so I'm thankful for that. I hope you find out who keyed your car and that he/she gets what they deserve.

I already showed it to the boss but he doesnt think its him. the main reasons I think its him
1.he parks on the other side of the street everyday but today (he parked in front of me today)
2. why did he walk into the street (my driver side) just to get into his trunk
3. we got into a little confrontation the other day
he denises it. He even says he got scratches on his car also. But my boss told him his car is only worth 300 and mine is 50k so theres no comparasson.

I wouldn't . . .
. . . kick his ***. That's likely to get you into trouble, whether or not he did it. . If he did, he's crazy and who knows what cowardly thing he'll try next if this escalates. . And there is the off-chance that he didn't do it.
And try not to let the scratches drive you nuts. . It's a shame that it's happened to such a beautiful new car, but at some point someone will be the first to mar it's finish. . It could have been you, which could make you even more frustrated. . Years ago, I ran into someone in my two-week old car -- it took me a long time to get over that, so I know whereof I speak. . But do try to get it fixed soon, so you don't have to look at it, and then do your best to forget about it.
And once it's fixed there's no reason to believe it will change the value of your car by a penny, notwithstanding the preceding not-so-helpful post.

At least you weren't an idiot like this noob driver who ran his new geo metro into someone else....now that's sad..... and he thinks he can give advice, he should try learning how to drive first....
Good luck man!

That's terrible to hear on your brand new IS.
Before you go to the body shop, may I suggest going back to the dealer where you bought it from and ask them to take a look at it. If the scratches aren't too deep, then they can "color sand" it and it will look like new! It costs a lot less and there is no re-painting involved, therefore avoiding depreciation on your car.

The jealousy of people these days is unbelievable. Atleast you have the perpetrater and can hopefully make him think about what he has done to you. Sorry to hear this.

I went to a body shop after work today and the guys looked at it first they said it was an easy fix.....until the manager came out and told me it would be 1000 to fix.

Above post is funny. I like.
Ouch. Sorry to hear about this. I hate violence, but this is out of hand. We ClubLexus members should gang up on this dude and beat the shiet out of this guy. Teach him a lesson. Something that he will never forget for the rest of his life. I am pretty sure his intention was the same when he keyed your car. I hope your car is fix soon so you can move on. What the heck just run him over then fix afterward. Cheers.
