[quote=Anonymous]Curious what others thing is reasonable. I have a white 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I bought in cash (my feelings would probably be different if I was still paying on it and it was damaged). This summer, I took a huge scrape to my bumper that I believe came from a poor attempt of someone trying to parallel park and a very sharp door ding in the curved molding on the front passenger door (which changes the whole line of that side of the vehicle). Because of how it’s parked in my garage, the first thing I see every morning is that door ding and it pisses me off. Then I walk around the back of the car and see the bumper damage. Then I just want to sell the car and start over (kidding, mostly).

I plan to keep this car for 10-15 years and that’s a long time to be upset about damage. I know that living in a city means this is probably going to happen again. Is it reasonable to fix it? I found someone who says he can take care of both issues for $1300. Factor in the car rental for a week and it’s more like a $2000 fix all-in. I just refinanced my house, so I actually have “extra” cash from skipping that one mortgage payment.

So, fix it? Live with it? Sell and buy a new one  :lol: ?[/quote]
