not sure if this is the right subforum

got my EOL inspection coming up. my car is in pretty good shape - interior is pretty much like new, just need to clean up scuffs on the door speaker panels and the stone interior carpet has some dirt on it. the mats are like new, since i have AW mats from day 1.

my concern is the exterior. all doors and panels are pretty immaculate save for my bumpers. the front got curbed in a parking lot, and the rear has seen its use on NY streets. the corners have scratches down to the bare black plastic (no gouges in plastic). some scratches are about 2-3in long.

how much could i possibly be looking at as far as paying infiniti? i am getting a $500 credit for leasing another G, but i'm pretty sure that wont completely cover the 2 bumpers.

I just had my inspection down Thursday morning. They took pictures of the entire car. I had alot of scratches on the bumpers due to manhattan parking but they only got me for 2 rear tires and my back bumper had a huge scratch @$178. My total was $578 and I'm responsible for $78. I was a little nervous they would bang me over the head but you should be ok.

good to know! they gave you the damage cost right after inspection, right?

i am hoping that the inspector comes earlier in the day on Tuesday, so i can give the car in same day

Yeah I had an appointment between 8am and noon and he got here 1030am so I was able to pick up the new car on valentines day. The inspector will tell you the things that's wrong and you will see charges for. He did make me pop open the hood and he checks to see is there was any body work done which I had none.

My inspector did go through a few things that he touched as far imperfections that I observed that he ignored. Therefore after the inspection I asked if I can treat him to lunch and handed him $20. That's of course if he doesn't hit you for every little thing

got dinged for both bumpers for a total of $472.... and i was expecting a much higher estimate. there was another $200 or so in non-charge items like a painteless dent repair-able door ding, and swirls but that's no skin off my back

How bad was your tires? Do u have the measurement for them? So i guess they charge 200 per tire lol? Was this the 18s or 17s?

Yeah $200/tire for the 18's
