If you do not report the accident inside of 7 days......you could wind up screwed if he keeps putting you off! Get the name of his insurance company and file a claim......if you don't want to screw the guy and he is willing to pay for the damage....go get an estimate and give him an ultamatum......pay me in cash by such a day...(inside of the 7 days) or you will file a claim with his insurance company. Do not go to "his guy"! Personally....you owe the guy nothing....he hit your vehicle and was willing to see if you would not notice it and maybe he would get away with it......so I say file the claim and screw him! My .02 cents!
find out "who" his guy is.....and drive over there to see if thats that type car repair person you want to do the job right and if so get an immediate estimate thats written in stone... get a slip...hand it to the old guy who backs up all the way across a street ...... and say here's the bill from your guy....pay it now and we have a deal.
Same happened to me a few years ago. Elderly woman came out of ther driveway and took out the whole passenger side of my pick-up.
Of course she left, cause she didn't realize what happened. Talked to her son and he offered the same deal, I said the damage is very bad and I'm going through insurance. Sorry..
This is why I trying to get my own mother out from behind the wheel..BUt she will hear none of that...

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
when the elderly hit a car they get totally consumed by fear and denial simutaneously and want to believe it didnt happen fearing they'll now loose their privledge to drive.... and are having an anxiety attack about it afterwards.
