Hi all,
I found this article this morning and I thought it was true for all the G owners! I got few dents on my coupe from someone in the parking lot. I just a bit tired to keep up with all these dents and scratches repair:-(
"Buying an expensive car can bring an owner style, prestige and repair bills in the thousands of dollars to fix damage caused by minor fender-benders. According to tests released Thursday by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.The institute conducted a series of four low-speed crashes on 11 2007 luxury vehicles. It found the Infiniti G35, which starts at $31,450, had the highest repair bill at nearly $14,000 in combined damages for the four tests. In one test involving the front-end, the G35's bill was more than $5,000.
The Acura TL and Mercedes C Class racked up more than $11,000 in repairs for the four tests while the tab for the Lexus ES nearly topped $11,000. Damage to the Lexus IS cost more than $9,500.
Only three vehicles sustained less than $6,000 in damage: the Saab 9-3, Audi A4 and Lincoln MKZ. Other damage estimates included $8,224 for the Volvo S60, $7,554 for the Acura TSX and $6,681 for the BMW 3 Series."

Interesting but subjective since no two crashes are identical. You can crash the same car the same way at the same speed and there will be variations in damages each time.

If you get damage, just go aftermarket. Lol. Unless it's somewhere like the door or quarter panel. Unless you want JDM doors.
