John, I think you missed where he paid for it, and continues to pay for the car himself. He did not have the car HANDED to him. He earned it, which means in my book, he earned the right to crash it into his garage, get REALLY upset, and ask for options as to how to fix the mess.
Back to your program.

Why didnt ford put some of those side view mirrors that "collapse"?!?
Your mirror would not have been beat up like it was.
Once this moron in a big industrial van with no side windows was about to miss his exit on the freeway, so instead of missing it he went through the dirt terrain that seperates the exit and the freeway and hit my side mirror very hard and had me swerve to my right, and luckily it just "collapsed", and stayed in one piece
Hope the mirrors gets fixed like new
It happens to all of us
(ran mom's van into the garage door :bang: )

Not fixing the dent is a bad option. I think that if you read your loan papers you will find that you have an obligation to maintain the car, including repair of any damage. Given that, check with the "paintless" dent repair guys. I have seen them fix stuff that was much much worse.
Congratulations on buying the car yourself at 17. This is a really big accomplishment. Make the payments on time and you are way ahead of the game. You will have the credit history you need when you want to buy a house.
Age is just a number and it works both ways. I'm doing my best to still be a kid at heart. Don't let your age defeat your dreams. I got started early, working 40 hours a week from the time I was 15, got married when I was 20 (still going strong 27 years later), able to retire at 42. There is nothing wrong with getting a head start!

My comment to this post is "accidents happen no matter what your age is" but you should feel fortunate own a new Mustang GT at your age. Most my friends when we were your age were lucky to have a ride. Even today because of the cost of things a lot of my friends are driving clunkers. The only reason I can afford a new mustang myself is well I still live at home but won't give you details of my age. Anyways, though aggravating I would fix it one way or another.

Well fellas, thanks for the kind remarks and stuff.
My dad didnt have work today so he took the car to two body shops. The ford one estimated it at $930 ... but they are going to repaint the whole fender almostt to get ther paint to blend.
The other was $800 ... not blending as much.
My dad also just took it to dent wizard to see if they can pop the dent out.
Basically he told me this. We have the nsurance set up so my Mom is the primary driver. He thinks we may just claim it on insurance and say my Mom did it and I'll then save the $300-$400 more.
Right now its on the plan as a pleasure car, so the price increase per month wouldnt skyrocket.

I just caught your thread today Dan. I am amazed at what those dent wizard guys can do, but if it's a vertical crease you may be out of luck.
I know someone who missed the entry to their garage and scuffed the front bumper on brick. It needs a new bumper someday. I also know someone who misjudged and hit the outside edge of their garage parking in the driveway. Paint rubs on the bumper.
It can happen to anyone no matter how old or young you are.

I honestly hope you car gets fixed and everything turns out alright. But be careful when you are trying to lie to insurance companies. I'm not telling you what you should or shouldn't do, just be careful. We have a great friend who is an attorney State Farm and she makes an absolute fortune representing them in all sorts of litigation.

Don't use your home owners insurance either, they may contact your car insurance company, or maybe the same company. If your insurance company finds out, your dad may not even be able to pay the insurance. Just my 2 cents.

So sorry sweetheart. Wish I could give a hug and make it go away like a bad dream. Since you have the new car and all. Do you have any old stuff you could sell to help with the cash issue. I am sure you are very busy with the car now. Something you don't use. Hope This helps.

God why? I just cleaned my car and i went to pull it in my darn garage and I cut it too close and scraped the wheel well a little bit and knocked the side mirror off the right side.
OH MY GOD
Question: Is this type of thing warranted under the dealer or is it comin off my insurance?
