what it was determined it was worth by the insurance company. They gave us a check. Then we went on the hunt to find a better price for a decent repair. Was it an $800 repair? No. Would a $400 repair make it look as good as it needed to be? Yes. Was it as good as not being hit? No. Was there time and effort involved in getting those repairs, being without the car for a few days and the overall hassle of her negligence in hitting our parked car? Yes.
