RE: I need opinions on my 2004 Mustang wreck
I would really push hard to have them total the car out and just give you the money on the car. This way you could go get another one. I understand that you have especially ordered this one but, its a convertible...They are really weak and i dont care what anyone says, that car will never feel the same again. The only support that car has is the floor board. theres no roof to help support and your definitly not getting support from the doors. the quarter could be ok but the floor board could be buckeled and nothing will line up (including your door), including the top once its opened. Hey that really suxs and i wish you the best of luck...

Where are you cause I would like a cobra convertable for that price. They run for about 40,000 around here. I do agree you over paid though. You are looking at alot of money to fix it. I would call the police get her info and then go after her for the repair costs. If you screwed up engine parts it must have been bad. Get some pics if you can. Sry man, that sucks!

Hmmm. I always make them bring the price down. I never pay msrp. If I can get a brand new cobra convertable for that price point me towards the dealer.

RE: I need opinions on my 2004 Mustang wreck
Thanks everybody! I finally found out today that the frame of the car was not damaged at all. It was a bent strut that made the right tire move forward and everything else can be fixed! We found out the woman that hit me did have insurance; she was just late paying her premium. So her insurance is paying for all of the repairs and a rental car. We moved it from the Ford dealership and took it to another body shop and they are storing it inside while they repair it. It might even be finished next week. Thanks again these bulletin boards are the only place I found any helpful information. All of my family and friends think there is something wrong with me because I am so protective of my Mustang. Thanks for understanding.

I'm in MA, but you can find a Cobra 'Vert for that price ANYWHERE. Never ever pay MSRP, if you don't pay ATLEAST 2000-2500 under MSRP, you're getting a bad deal.

It's never worth it to buy a car brand new. We all know that once you drive from the lot, you just lost at least 4k, and that's even if you didn't pay sticker. Just my .02 worth.
