I was driving on a highway when there's suddenly traffic and person in front of me stopped semi suddenly and I followed suit. The 80 year old person behind me wasn't so quick, so he rear ended me. Poor guy, he was shaken up. Damages to both my cars rear end and his front. 4" hole on my bumper, I can see the metal bumper inside is also dented and dented my trunk such that I can't open it anymore. We exchanged information and that's it so far. I have State Farm and he has USAA.
It's an Audi A4 2003 with 138k. My gut says the repairs will cost more than it's worth.
I don't owe any money on it. It runs well and I like my car. What should be my next steps? I kinda want to just fix my car enough that I can open the trunk again, but don't really care about the cosmetic damages and rather pocket the money. Is this possible? Or are they going to total my car and take it away from me?
Thanks in advanced!
