Gday all .Last weekend I was driving down a narrow street when a guy backed out of a drive on my right & just kept coming. I sped up to miss him but his towbar hit my rear wheel putting a deep gouge across the wheel [2003 grande] .He was very sorry & said get a price ASAP & we would settle.My tyre guy said that it was too deep to restore for legal purposes,so he would ring around re prices.Well..... $ 1035 for a new rim !!The guy was a nice young bloke & I thought that we had to be fair.Now I live in Vic. my tyre guy put out an all points call on the system ...in 2 days he only had 2 replies $ 450 for a real crappy one & one with a 20 ml scratch which after much polishing it came up 90 % this one was $550 [delivered from 100 kays away] I figured this was fair & the fella paid up real fast after he saw the Quotes.All finished up well ,I love my Prado & intend to keep it till the coppers or my kids tell me its time to get off the road but I hope I dont need to get any body parts for it !! PS any one got a bone front leather drivers seat ?mines looking tired [like me ]. Cheers.
