1) If you push the issue. The driver is covered no matter what is said.

2) Cheap fix is have a body man pop it back out and flush it up and repaint
it. $200.00 or $300.00 .

3) Buy a new Skin for the door and paint it. $500.00 to $800.00 .

4) Buy a new Door $1,000.00 to $1,200.00 and paint it.

These price might be low or high but it's prices around here to get a Lexus
fixed. The prices for after market and original parts are not much difference
these days. Now they have salvage part that go for a who lot less but you will
have to check to see. A good Body man can tell you everything there is to know
about fixing the door.

Go down to your local body shop and tell them to give you a price on fixing it
as is or maybe put a new skin on it and paint it. Skin mean you buy the total
outside of the door to mig it back on or in some cases glue it back on.

If you want to discuss it . E-mail me and we can talk about it. A Good friend of
mine rebuiulds cars and truck and can get any info you want for these repairs.
Now remember this if you don't do the wortk yourself. It is going to not do much
gfood in finding out what something cost or where to get the parts for the body
man that has to do the job is not going to like to let you supply after market
parts that may have difference problem when putting them on with and would cost
you about the same to let him get what parts he wants.

1. Get your "friend" to handle this. She drove the car, she should
pay for it.

2. Go to a reputable body shop. Get the door checked. It's almost
always going to be cheaper to repair the existing door (if the damage
isn't severe) than replacing it.

3. I can't believe the driver wasn't covered under your policy,
(unless she's not legally licensed to operate a motor vehicle). Does
she have insurance? If so, her policy should cover it as well.

The Statement above bears repeating.

I got into it with State Farm over a boyfriend of my daughter who run over a
tree with my truck in the yard backing out. They said he was not a listed driver
and they did not have to pay. My Attorney sent them a certified letter and Wamoo
all of a sudden it was covered.

There is only one reason a insurance company can claim none responciability and
that is if the ''''' owner of the auto -- only ''''''' is involved in running
from a police. If the auto is damaged during the run from them. Your policy is
void. This come under self-distruction of the auto like you drove it off into
the river and knew you was doing so.

Now if the girl did not have driver licences. You just claim unarthorized use.
This let's you off the hook for the insurance not paying for it.

It is just funny the insurance company claiming non-responciability in matter
like this.

...agreed. For some reason, I get this sneaky suspicion we're not
hearing the whole story here.
