10 days ago I bought a 2003 mustang 3.8L with 52,000 miles on it for $4500.00. Super clean and seemed to drive well (no pulling to the right or left). The passenger side front fender dented up from what I was told a minor fender bender other than that the car is great. I went to a friend of mine to get the front fender replaced and painted and thats when we discovered that the passenger front tire appeared to sit back further than the drivers side. So I went to get the alignment checked (even though it drove fine) thats when it was determined that the frame appeared to be bent.

Now my question is can a unibody be successfully repaired and what kind of money can I expect to spend ? I bought the car for my daughters graduation. Any advice would be appreciated

 

Yes it can be fixed. I'm not sure how much it cost though.

 

Welcome to the forums. 30 years ago it cost $600 to get a frame straightened. Hate to think about it now.

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

WELCOME TO MF'S, CHECK OUT THE GENERAL TECH SECTION.

 

Welcome! ...can you bring the car back?

 

Well I called the girl that I bought the car from last night and she acted surprised when I told her what I found out. Said she would call me back after work but of course I never received a call...

Seems the only option left is to sell as is, its truly ashame the car looks great

 

Yea man, thats something thats just not worth fixing at the time now compared to what it use to be. Just get rid of it as is or try and get your money back if possible. Also welcome abroad man. :]

 

Yeah sick around youll learn a thing or two. Sorry about the car though.

 

My k-member got bent and messed up my right front fender support, and it only cost $300 to repair on a frame machine
