i then contacted the guy's agent, and he already filed a claim, stating i ran into him. so the fun begins......... got home and took a couple of pics, then blew the dust off, and was surprised to find NO scratches or BROKEN paint ! i couldn't believe it ! if i was moving and ran into him as he claims, then there should have been motion scratches in the paint ! her car is a very nice example of that era, having no rust and original paint.
So get the pics into your insurance. Include a document of some sort asking how you "hit" him, do they really think you were sliding sideways? In a parking lot? WHILE he was backing out? Ask them now, who hit who?
If worse actually comes to worse, a paintless (PDR) guy can fix that.
