He's taken you for a mug offering you cash. I cannot get my head around why people do this. Take it through insurance as the work will be guranteed and if anything else structually pops up in the future your covered. Also the work would of been done by a decent insurance approved body shop who would charge his insurance company loads ensuring a decent job is done.

You've been butt fucked serially....if you get that sorted for less than £500 I would seriously doubt its been done properly...

this happend to me two years ago:

needed a new rear pannel and offside rear quarter pulling out and the bill came to over £1500

glad i went through the insurance every time

i could have went through insurance but really didnt want car written off which guarenteed would have happened.

for £500 i've found a set of skirts that cover most of the dent and ill pull the rest out. should look ok. will sell it after that

I would feel sorry for you if you didn't seem like such a retard!

Why didn't you just do as everyone has said, go through the insurance, get a nice payout, buy the car back and then bobs your uncle fuckwit.
