The first rental I had for 2 months was a 2016 Chrysler 300, leather AC Seats ect loaded. I put 4,000 miles on it in 2 months lol. They marked it for sale so I had to turn it back in and now I have a dodge Charger. It's less techie but I like the car a lot better. So far over 600 miles on that. I plan on driving it to Dallas in a few weeks if I still don't have the back right side panel. Either way I miss my Hatchback. Although at this point I wish it was a 2018. Still, my mom wants my car so maybe in a year or two I'll just sell it to her since she won't care it's been in a wreck she drives cars till they die.

Probably a byproduct of manufacturing Civics and their various parts in more than half dozen plants around the world. Each plant probably has a few suppliers only serve that particular location.

Yeah, because the hatch is only made in the UK and it's the first year model there's no aftermarket parts for the car yet. So I have to wait till someone takes a part off the assembly line. But apparently it's impossible to get the rear quarter panel this way. lol. I had my car for less than 24 hours it's been 2 months and 2 weeks. At this point I kinda hope it takes till after Christmas just so I can road trip to Austin in my rental :p lol /cry

Good news is I've gotten leather center console, arm rest, and steering wheel *I've got an EX* all already sitting here waiting to get put on once I get the car back. although I've made two car payments on a car I don't have lol

Great news. That's a crazy long turn around to get a car back. I left someone a car and they essentially gutted and rebuilt it in the same amount of time... and they took their sweet time and many of the parts came from Japan... and others had to be fabricated because they weren't made anymore.

I can't imagine being in your shoes tbh. I'd be supremely pissed every day.

Screw the dude that hit you but I can only imagine how much his insurance is going to cost now since they are still having to pay for a rental lol

You can also file a diminished value claim to their insurance, since your car will be worth less since it has been in an accident. My friend did it for their pilot when they got hit first month, but they also had some light subframe damage.

Good luck, I almost bought a RR hatch also :)

Oh you bet your damn ass I'll be filing that. but the entire repair has to be finished first.

Soooo Update... They have the wheel well in, and the door in.. Still no side panel. September 21st was the day I dropped it off at the shop... I've been in a rental ever since. =\ Not even sure I own a Civic anymore.
I feel you bro, my civic had the same damage pretty much and it took about 5 months to get the rear quarter panel. So hopefully yours will take a lot less than that. When you get her back, you will love her again.
