outch! $700.00 estimate to repair!

Crazy. My '04 had a busted fog light. That was a $400 estimate. needless to say that never got repaired.

When the first leaked shots came out I was concerned about all those lights on the corners, where small dings and bumps are common. both in front and in back.

The design could have been better thought out for driver friendliness, fuel efficiency and repair costs rather than purely looks.... I can't back into my garage in the rain/snow without a rear wiper, but we can't have a wiper with curved glass, and we need the curved glass to compensate for the loss of cd on the front end so we can have the ugly predator jowls. SMH.

 

ouchie! go back to the carwash and show them, sometimes they have insurance.
alternatively, way until one shows at a salvage yard.

 

true, hard to prove if you don't notice it right away. i was fearful these prime bits would be expensive. at least the bubble glass didn't crack.

 

Maybe we need special training to drive these new cars. Seems like a lot of dings or worse happening. Get the baby fixed. Did you know you have a plug in on the back of your car? I did not get that with my model.

We have another round of severe weather coming this evening. High on the scale for tornados and large hail. The baby is in the garage charging and is there for the night.

 

Let us know how that conversation goes.

 

all the best!

 

So it's just the tail light, and that's $700 to replace, with installation? Grrr.

 

the front and rear ends are probably worth more in parts than the whole car. i wonder what a lift back tail light goes for?

 

...or several!

 

I change my own oil. Wash my own car. Others = THIS. Or worse.

 

i crack my own tail lights by backing into people. no need to go to the carwash for that.

 

Car dealerships must make their money on parts.

 

And labor cost.

 

Toyota gets a healthy cut methinks.

Anyone remember $20 sealed beam headlights. Never any haze problems either.
