That should be how it works, but I've seen a few people get yanked around by some insurance companies over it. Others have been easy to work with on it. What really confuses the issue is when two people with the same company have opposite experiences.

Unbelievable. Who starts driving at a red light into a stopped car because they "thought" it was green? Idiot.

It does suck. On the other hand, this is a lease so I guess I'm not too hurt sentimentally.
Also the cop who came on site again refused to write a report. He said that the other guy already assumed responsibility so it wasn't needed.

On a side note I found it odd that the cop just had to stop his car right in the middle of the second lane causing traffic issues on an already busy road when there was plenty of space behind the Audi (we parked on the side).

goddamn still got the dealer plates on it :(



every audi is out to get you. buy a beater and hit them before they get you.

Yeah. Not a scratch on the A4. I think those things are built like tanks.
I'm thinking that I should probably join the winning team and get myself an Audi once this lease it up.

I'd be willing to donate 6 pairs of rabbit feet, and in another month, 4 more. ;)

Weren't so lucky for the rabbits though. They were tasty indeed.

Nah, their bumpers are all plastic and pretty clear coat paint, just like your Infinity. It it was anything like my Audi, you won't see much visible damage on the bumper itself but there is a ton a internal damage to the bumper assembly once you take the plastic bumper cover off.
