My boyfriend slid in the snow due to an idiot driver comin the other way, and he slid into a parked car. From what we had heard from neighbors (we did the right thing, stopped, called cops), the person had been parking their car on that street, close to the corner, and had been hit numerous times before. It went through the insurance, the person got money to fix the rear bumper, and then never did (I think I saw it still not fixed like 9 months later). Sad, the way people are these days...

Given that it's a newer car, get it fixed. It'll give you better piece of mind. I'd still say go through insurance. That way there is some kind of record of it, in case something turns up later that was the result of this accident.
