i hit someone Options

well about a week ago i hit another car. i was being stupid and not paying attention while in traffic and rolled into a 2002 white corolla while i was going about 5mph. it didnt do any damage to my car but it cracked the top of the corolla bumper on top about 3 inches long. so i said i didnt want to get it fixed through insurance because i dont want to deal with that. and she went and got an estimate and called me back and said it was going to cost $134 to replace the bumper. so i thought that was a great price and was happy. she called back today and said she made a mistake and its going to cost $586 now. now im depressed and mad. she wants to replace the bumper which costs $134 for the bumper and then the rest of the $586 for the painting and installation. that seems a little expensive to me. how much should a new bumper and paint cost?

I think this topic is funny. You hit someone, man. You screwed up, and now you must pay. If she asked for $1000 and didn't get the insurance company involved, you should be happy. Someone hit my car about a month after I painted it last summer. They took off, but I only got $150 to fix it. It would diffinately cost more if I paid someone else, but I'll just do it myself and probably break even. Oh, I'll probably do better, but it's still going to take time. If someone hit yourcar, you have the right to take it were ever you want to fix it. What if someone hit you and said, "I'm not paying that price, just take it to Maco." That would make me mad. My advice, suck it up, pay whatever she asks, and don't hit anyone anymore.
