Only had the car a couple months when a stone hit the windshield and I had to replace it.

I bought it new. I had mine 3 months and someone backed into lf fender while it was parked.

It was in the shop waiting for a new fender etc for a month.

The day I got it back, I drove across the street from the dealership to get gas. A guy in a pick up truck backed into THE SAME SPOT.

Took another month for another fender. I'd only let them replace not repair.

My first 2 weeks of owning it was VERY unlucky.

Lady in a minivan bumped the rear in traffic. No damage, but there is a very slight mark if you are looking for it. I can't even see it most of the time so that's good. Less than a week later, I was driving ~75mph when the Toyota Camry in front of me had it's moonroof suddenly flip up, shatter in midair, and rain down on the entire front end of my car.

$4500 later, I had the windshield replaced, and almost every panel resprayed (hood, fenders, headlights replaced, mirrors, doors, and even the rear center brake light had a chip in it).

My first day I hit a Turkey Buzzard, in October of my first year (bought in July) I have my front bumper ripped off in a parking lot by an SUV.
