So....what was the estimate dollar amount?

 

Insurance is paying out 15K

 

 

Wow. Can't believe your damage was twice as bad as my car's in terms of dollars. Dang. Hope your body shop is as good as mine was (I used my dealer's). And based on my diminished value amount, you should be looking at 7-10K I bet.

 

Great shop, Have a great deal of faith in them, Between the payout to repair and car rental then going after Diminished value the woman who hit me will be paying a big rate hike no doubt. I don't feel the slightest bit sorry for her for not paying attention to THE BRIGHT GREEN car in from of her. I hope to add a few goodies while its in the shop and to feel better about the car. 1 Piece Drive Shaft, Bumper fogs and a Boss Grill. I will post up when she is done. As far as I know she went on the frame straightener yesterday so they can start dismantling her. My buddy told me he would take pics during the process. I told him to archive the pics so I can view after I get her all back in one piece. Then if I can stomach the pics I will open and possibly paste.

 

****, people suck. You know who else sucks..........birds........friggin BIRDS! My car gets crapped on twice a week and I don't even park under trees. But, it's still better than ****ty drivers.

 

Yeah, I understand that. We have Canadian Geese here and lets just say.. Big birds = Big sh*t..

 

Well my shop called me to tell me the ordered my feel good goodies.. I am excited to get my car back and if it is going to be as good as I hope it will I am better off just keeping her for a long while. Getting a Boss grill, 1 piece Drive Shaft and bumper fog kit.

 

Hey just wanted to ask what is the body shop doing with you busted tail light. I have to figure out how I'm going to do a European light mod to mine in the next year and need a test light with out the hefty price of a new one.

 

Just saw this thread Greencars!
Wow, I am sorry about your car man. I hope all goes smoothly for you. GOOD LUCK!

 

Not sure what they are doing with the busted piece.. I will see..

 

It's a **** shame. I've been rear-ended once, and my wife twice, and the repairs came out okay in each case, although they weren't Mustangs. We still have one of the cars 10 years later and the paint still blends so well you could never tell. Good luck!

 

Thanks and again sorry to see this happen at all.

 

Well after 7 weeks the car is due to be back in my hands on the 5th.. I will post the pics of the work.. From what I have been told by a friend at the shop looks better than new so far.. Can't wait.

 

Glad to hear that you're getting it back!
It sounds like it's in good hands

 

happy to know its all over and u r gettign her back.. post pics when u get her.

 

Got her back early.. As suspected they did such a good job I believe it is better than the factory did. Cell phone pics.. But you can see the workmanship.. I will put up under carriage pics when I get under her over the weekend.

 

Glad it worked out well.

I'll go ahead and say it: every time I see an issue on the road it is almost always caused either by an Acura MDX or a Lexus RX. Hate those cars and I'm extra careful around those guys.

Worst thing is that view in rearview that'll be stuck in your head and replayed every time someone slows down behind you.

 

Thanks, Yeah SUV's as a whole tend to be the "I don't care, I'm invisible" type of people.

Thanks..

 

Looks good as new ..congrats!
