As the area surrounding my office is getting busier each day, finding a parking lot becomes a daunting task especially in the afternoon when I come back to office after lunch.
I faced difficulty to find a parking lot again yesterday afternoon. After a round of searching, I noticed an empty parking lot at the side of the busy street. A hasty reverse parking leading to an very expensive kiss - the head of my Innova ramped into the front bumper of a stationary Estima.
Who stood the kiss? You guess.
The front left side of the Estima bumper was detached while my Innova experienced a little scratch only.
So the Innova won, but with a heavy price - a RM500 compensation.
The bumper handle was broken, so it couldn't be fixed. The only acceptable option is to replace it.
The Estima is belonged to a fruit shop owner near my office. He is quite nice; didn't blame me much, most probably because he didn't park the car properly.
I asked him to give me some time to get quotation from a few workshops and at the same time, he also consulted a relative who is running a workshop. His price was about RM700 and the cheapest that I got was RM800. Some workshop even quoted something more than RM1000 :-(
I talked to the owner every time I passed by the fruit shop. Updating him on my progress.
"You pay me RM500 and I bear part of the cost," he offered this afternoon when I talked to him again.
That is a great offer! I will hand over RM500 cash to him and the case is considered settle :-)
Got to be extra careful next time. No more rushing is allowed.
The damage
See you next post :-)
