Hey everybody, thanks for reading my post. Today I woke up to find my 1994 318i smashed on the back drivers side corner of my car. My car sustained a dent in the trunk with significant paint damage and broken tail lights. No bumber damage. I was struck by a construction pick-up truck. I only have liability however I was lucky enough for the driver to have left his company information.

Judging by the pictures, what would be the total damage for repair? I understand it is difficult to estimate with pictures alone, but if anybody could give their two cents it would be much appriciated.

I am unble to post the exact links to the images since I am a newbie. So to view the pics you will need to replace the x's in hxxp with t's. Thanks.

The trunk lid could probably be found out of a junk yard or something and repainted for about 100-150. The tail light would need to be replaced so whatever the cost is for that. I don't see any dents on the rear quarter piece so looks like just some sanding and repainting. Probly another 100 or so max.

I'd say no more than $400 worth of damage depending on who you take it to. Not like it matters anyway, their insurance is gonna pay for everything.
