how much should i pay this dude

so i rear ended somebody a couple months ago and i told him I would just pay cash because my insurance company already hated me.... so he says OK but ends up calling the cops and they called me saying no insuance would be involved and they were calling to make sure the guy got the money.... so the guy calls and says he found a place that said it would cost 1100 and i was like WTF dude even if your gonna replace the whole bumper it should only be 200-300 bucks.... so a couple weeks go by without him calling and i had already found somewhere to do it for 200 and that was a whole new bumper (but it was online and wasnt painted)... i didnt call him tho because who is that eager to spend a couple hundred bucks for nothing...
so like 2 months later he calls me saying "i found a place in town that can do it for 300" i was like ok send me the bill and ill take care of it, then he tells me the story about how he got it totaled and that he was really just asking for money for the deductable... the damage that i did wasnt even recognizable... at first he said 300, then was like even 200 would be cool... but the damage looked like all it needed was some buffering and the dents would have popped out (it was like a 2 inches diamter dent and the bumper wasnt metal it was plastic)
should i even pay this fool and if so how much would be fair? 100 bucks?

The 300 is fairly cheap for a bumper and if there was a agreement to exchange money and apperently has a police record of it he can still call the cops if you don't pay or report it to the insurance company.

The Lord of Karma sees all. Ask Saturn how much you should give. It has to be something. I would talk to him again, and make a WRITTEN AGREEMENT signed and dated by both parties and a witness that says the ammount issued will end this dispute. Otherwise he could pull it up later in court.

Keep your word and pay him $200. Make him sign a contract that he accepts the cash for the damage done to his bumper. Make sure the contract has a date. A contract will save your ass in small claims court. Ask Judge Judy.

Got to agree with Magash. $300 is cheap.
Recently my daughter open up my truck door in a parking lot. The wind caught it hitting the car next to us. A small 2 in. mark. $500 to fix.

If you have a witness, then that's one more thing you have to defend you if he decides to be a sleazbag and tries to sue you.

would this satisfy a conrtact???
"June 2, 2006
I _____________________________, accept $200 dollars as a payment for the damage done to my bumper on my vehicle, a (Dodge Whatever)_____________________. This agreement ends the dispute.
Signed, _______________________________
(My Name), _______________________________"
the things i added in there that wont be in the document are in parenthesis, in the real one ill type it out... seems kinda short but i dont see what else i could write... this document would also be stapled to the copy of the money order...

you'll want the Vin number of the vehicle, also check to see if there really was a police report filed, if there wasnt, then the dude is scamming you
