Wife gets insurance policy documents in the mail... reviews... and tells me, "The credit union doesn't own the Edge anymore, Have the insurance company correct it. It's paid off."

I give the document a quick once-over... see the error... and make a mental note. However, before leaving the document I look into the coverage area and, voila, it appears the Boxster HAS been covered. Comp and collision.

Give my broker a call... Yup. Covered. Also, rental car coverage.

The $1,000 I was prepared to pay out of pocket has been reduced to a $500 deductible ($250 deductible for comprehensive). Insurance agent classified it as collision because, "... moving object on the ground".

Appraiser comes out Tuesday to give it the once over... and the shop will take over from there. For the original $1,000 it just included the quarter repair. I was going to rub off/out the corner of the bumper cover and source a gently used tail light. For $500 I'll jus get everything fixed the right way.

I'm thinking within the next few weeks it'll go into the shop. I'll apprise.

Good morning.

That is a good morning.

Glad this will soon be back to "new". While you're in there, see if they can do a paint correction and polish for extra cash. When my Audi was repaired the body shop did this for me for $600, including repainting the trunk lid. Good luck sir!

Sorry to hear...the guys at that shop are hacks.

I'd be letting the F-bombs FLY...good on you to be restrained and call your agent.

Geez. Good luck sir.
