Rear ended someone today, early assessments of damage are running about $600~700 for parts alone, assuming I do all work myself. As for labor, that runs another 30 hours or so, just on my end of the vehicle. That does not include any time spent rummaging for parts at the junkyard. So, for parts + "labor," I'm looking at roughly a cost of 800 or so, and that's assuming all damage done is visible, which I know it isn't.
What happened: I was in the far right lane of wadsworth heading north about a block north of pomona dr. I was watching the car on my left whose back end was about in line with the front of my jeep (not a collision factor, just in the next lane) and was signaling, and had been for some time, to make a right turn/lane change (where I was.). After looking over at them, I looked back in front of me to see that the car in front of me had slammed on their brakes. I slammed on mine, but to no avail. I rear ended them at a collision speed of about 30mph, sending them swerving over into the next lane where they clipped the front right fender of the car that had the extended signal business, sending the car signaling into the middle of the yellow lines. Both me and the car I rear-ended were able to move off to the side of the road. Pics to come when I feel like uploading them. Really not in the mood right now.
