  1. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hi guys, a couple of days a go I believe either a truck or a suv when backing out hit my passenger side mirror. Fortunately there were no other damages. I asked the dealership and they are quoting me at $660. This includes the new mirror, paint job, and labor. I'm wondering if there are...

    My wife has a 2014 TDI wagon. What a mess this is becoming. Most dealers will not take them on trades, and the used value is dropping. Also, VW can't seem to figure out what they want to do to compensate owners. Last month it was a $2000 rebate toward a new VW. Hard to pull off when they wont...

  11. Interior and Exterior Modifications
    So I woke up this morning to do an early inspection to the car before dropping the kids off to school and I found this. Someone hit it or kicked it from the looks of it. And the worst part is, I went to get it checked by a collision center and they are quoting me $1500 for the whole bumper. Is...

    I went to get some groceries last night. I like to park far away from everyone else when I'm in a big parking lot. And an hour later when I got out. I saw a shopping cart hitting my rear wheel fender. This young girl (ran into her car and drove off, got their license plate, it was a beat up...

    Sooo how much would it typically cost a body shop to pop this minor dent but also repair these major scratches? And is there anything such as rust that could make this look any worse than it is if it's not fixed in a timely manner? I'm broke right now and if this can wait it's gonna have to :(...

    So my baby just hit 50,000 miles. So far so good. The only issue in this time period was a brake light switch that had to be replaced and a defective windshield. (had a stress crack) I've only done regular maintenance only at the dealer and replaced the factory tires about 5,000 miles ago...

    Wife's got the car at the moment, but I'm 99% sure that when I'm driving at night, fog and headlights on, the fogs go off when I hit the high beams. I looked in the owner's manual and didn't see anything to indicate why they would do that Can a forum member check their SXL to see if this is...
