Was that a HEAD-ON collision?

Glad you are okay.



The real question is.. time for a 2011 5.0?

as others have said, glad you're ok.....regarding the car, depends on what it's going to cost to repair the damage.

Sorry to hear about your accident and glad you are ok. Looks like a goner to me.. and sometimes it is better to just let it go or headaches will come back in the future.

Being an 05, looks like it's totaled...
I'm guessing in the neighborhood of $8000 to $10.000 to repair.
That would put you at the 70% mark of the value of the car, which is the criteria for a tatal loss.
The only thing that can save it, is if you have less than 10K miles on it...

If you play your cards right, take the money and put it in the bank until the 2011 Mustang comes out.
Swallow your pride and get a $800 beater for a year to get around.



Mr. Bape: It was not a head-on collision since both frame rail ends have shifted to the right.

Sorry to see that but glad that you're ok. Was that weather related?

I would let them total it and get yourself a new 2011 unless you really love your body style. Than just get a used GT or Cobra.....

I would think your car is totalled. Any frame damage and you may as well call it quits.

I say totaled. I am glad you are ok. Was it a single car accident? What did you hit?
