Default Bad luck

So, my dad owns Chevy Chase Chevrolet in Bethesda MD. Today a customer with an extremely well kept '02 black on black coupe came in to trade in his vette, everyone at the dealership was very impressed with how well this car was taken care of. Here's where the story gets sad. While the customer was in the dealership talking to an employee someone hits his car. I am not sure of how much damage there was but I thought it was kind of ironic for how well kept the car was and the day that they come in to trade it in it gets hit.

If the person that this happened to is on this forum, I am very sorry for your bad luck.

Man, that's too bad. Where was the car? Out on Wisconsin Ave? Did the person who hit it stop?

Certainly will have an effect on the trade in value.

I think the car was actually on A ramp (in the garge) and I believe it was before they gave them a price. But I'm not sure. My dad did not give me any specifics
