totalled mustang??

SYNY5TER · 05-30-2009

well today. i just crashed my car...

very pissed. and not in a good mood.

i just went over a curb and crashed. luckly everyone is all right but not the car.

the right side of the front and the rear tires were flat. and the left fender was badly damaged.

and replacing the two tires at the right side i drive and i notice that definitely my steering wheel isnt straight... and later one and i notice that my engine is getting really hot and went over the temperature... so basically i damaged some engine parts... i dont mind about the fender.

but y is the engine getting hot is it because of the axle?

Very sorry to hear about this man...

What happened? If you don't mind saying.

It sound's like you were able to make it home okay? Did you have to get towed? It probably isn't good if you drove it home after something like that...

Was this a side impact or more front impact sort of thing? DETAILS MAN!

Hopefully we can help you out once you let us know some more info.

Sorry to hear about that dude.

definitely not totalled. expect around 1-2 grand depending on where you go if the body damage is mild. The alignment is off because your axle tires slammed into a curb... If they can't fix/align your front axle then expect 1.5 grand for replacement parts and then a couple hundred to install it. they may even charge you a couple more hundred to realign everything.

plus tax and all that other BS i'd expect at least 5 grand. don't go to that shop thinking it will be cheap.

goodluck fixing it, make sure you shop around for prices. When i got rear ended by a big SUV that was going about 40 mph while i was stopped rear bumper was wrecked and the back sides of my car had ripple dents in them. I took it to a reputable shop and they wanted 4 grand to fix it.... took it to a local body shop and they said they could do it for 1000.

SHOP AROUND

i just looked at the car today in the mornning got a good view.. believe or not its better than i thought last night. except for the body work. but the driving style is more important. my dad came and brought two tires from home and we slapped those on. the reason y the steering was off because they were the wrong tires different tire sizes. and also the car was running too much heat because of the radiator. so thats not too bad.

i maybe hav to pay from 700-1000. getting a lot of cheap stuff on craigslist

hopefully i can fix this all in one day

Go with aftermarket and used parts. I bought a "totaled" 05 mustang for $3700 (hit in the front like yours) and I only had to put 600 bucks into it to get it to look like new (I did all the body work myself at my dad's auto body shop so no labor costs)
