Lease-end question
Hi guys,
I was involved in a minor accident this weekend. I ran a red light by accident (thought it changed to green) and got hit by a truck. It's very minor. The truck driver didn't have any damage and agreed not to call 911. I however have a cracked bumper. I decided not to get insurance involved since I have a $1000 deductible. I got a few quotes and the cheapest one is around $1050 to get the bumper replaced/painted/installed. I was wondering if I can return the car in this condition since Lexus forgives up to $500 in damages and pay the rest to have Lexus fix the bumper. Appreciate the help!

Quite sure Lexus will access it as $2k+ worth of damage, leaving you footing a $1500+ bill. They'll always be on the higher side quotes/repair wise.
I say get a few more quotes and go with the cheapest. But honestly, $1k isn't bad for a new bumper, painted, and installed....I'd call that getting off cheap and dodging the bullet for running a red light....!
Good luck and stay safe!

FWIW I got a new rear bumper on my ISF for ~$1400. Some idiot rear ended me and pressure cracked it pretty good. It was at like .000005MPH (pathfinder) so not too much damage. Although I have a good body shop -- this guy sold me a windshield at cost so I could get an OEM replacement (~$400 cheaper than the glass companies would sell it to me for). Then we paid the glass co $100 to install it. lol. He still made a $100 profit and I got OEM instead of aftermarket.
