Just my 2 cents, my old Sportage was vandalized, someone threw a pumpkin at it and put a big dent in the rear door.

I reported it and my insurance co. inspected the car, assessed what they thought it would cost to repair, and sent me a check for the amount.

I decided NOT to fix it and spent the money on other stuff <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The insurance co. should be OK with it, since they have it on record that the damage was there before, if I tried to report the same thing later they would know.

2002 Sportage 4dr 4x4 soon to undergo an Extreme Makeover!
