I've been rear-ended and the bumper is pushed in on the right and the trunk is pushed in like 4-6". The trunk an RR door require you to slam them for it to close. Otherwise, it works fine. It's a 2001 S4 w/ an APR chip. I'm looking at keeping the repair monies and trying to sell the car as is. Drives fine. How much do you think I could get for it? It's just under repair value for them to total it. It would make a great track car...

Sounds exactly what happened to me two years ago. How much did they qoute to fix - mine ended up being $6500 since I was pushed into someone.

As for price, depends on how many other parts are on it? At a minimum, I would say a couple of grand.

The current estimate is for 7.5k. The car is fine, I've been driving it. The trunk and RR door need to be slammed to shut. The R. side of the bumper is pushed in. Do you think $5k is asking for too much?

It depends. Seems pretty high for a basic chipped S4. I mean if someone bought it they'd have to put in $7.5k to fix it for a total of $12.5k.

that's the thing - there is no need to fix it really -- no reason you can't just slam the RR door & trunk. It drives fine otherwise, and doesn't look too bad. What about $4k? More reasonable?

Put it up in the classifieds and see who bites. There's a few guys around here that will snap up a dented S4 for 4K in a heartbeat.

Can you post some pictures, and additional info on the car? Miles, 6mt or tip, etc.

Thanks

I'll try to get some pics of it's current state later today. It's got 98k miles, stick, APR chip with 4 programs (can be reconfigured), tighter suspension (i hate body roll; it's now /amazing/ on windy roads, not so good with potholes in SF - should be great on the track). Manual, obviously. I don't trust people with performance cars which are automatic.
