  1. Accident repair journey

    They have it broken down. Waiting on parts. It did get the front collision sensor. I have not seen a price tag on the sensor, they are doing a supplement adjustment with insurance. Shops says it is in the 1600 range. These cars are expensive to repair. I would have guessed this was...
  2. Anyone bought a car from Carvana?

    In my area they only seem to have rental and fleet cars. Not sure I would want a car that was used for rental use.
  3. Crazy people taking pictures?

    I hesitate to tell people because there are so many really poorly built cars out there. It is a factory five, I built it myself using only new parts. Obviously, the first question I get is "is it real"? I tell people yes, it is a real car. You can touch it, drive it and it is not a figment...
  4. Crazy people taking pictures?

    When I drive this people get out at stop lights to take pics. Forget trying to stop for gas.

    Dropped off at the local Ford dealer's collision center this morning...
  6. Hood ding - anyone fix on their own?

    Aluminium is much harder for a PDR gu and the hood is aluminium. Aluminium does not have a memory like metal. A good PDR guy can normally look at pics via text and tell you.
  7. Accident repair journey

    Farmers is only paying the bill at this point. I took the car to the shop of my choice (hope I choose wisely) and Farmers will cover all damage. Only OEM parts, it is the law on new cars in TN. Farmer's did an initial estimate and cut me a check. Once torn down they will write me a check for...
  8. Accident repair journey

    I recall the VIN panel stickers on my fox bodies and SN95 cars. They looked similar to this... I do not see any vin stickers on the S550 body panels. There are some stickers under the hood detailing engine specs. They have to be replaced by law a when a hood is replaced and Ford sells...
  9. Accident repair journey

    I am working with the other company, Farmers. I have State Farm and if I go through State Farm, I have to claim it against his policy and then hope State Farm recoveres. Farmers has already written me an initial check. I am taking to to Ford next Monday. Farmer's also says they recognize...

    Farmers initial estimate is $6,240. Will do a supplemental once torn down.
  12. Accident repair journey

    Farmers is saying they do acknowledge diminished value, but that is a conversation we have after the repair is complete. Does that sound correct?
  13. Accident repair journey

    Each kid is different. I have the car locked down with mykey and other tracking devices installed in the car. I never worry about him for a sec, even if he is 16. He is a pilot logging his cross country solo hours, I worry about that a ton.
  14. Accident repair journey

    Farmers called back and they are accepting responsibility. I have spoken to my insurance and they suggest I work with Farmers as long as I am getting adequate responses. Now I have to decide where to take it.

    So..I heard from Farmers. Their client is staying my son ran a stop sign and hit her. Here is a copy and paste from the police report, which Farmers had not seen yet. My son was driver 2 and vehicle 2 Vehicle #1 was traveling north on Downs Blvd, turning left onto Willow Springs Blvd when...

    Do you have to own it out right for diminished value? I actually financed 8K to take advantage of a deal incentive and have just let it ride the past 5 months? In TN if less than 2 years old OEM parts are required by law.

    He gave us a slip with the report number and said it would be on the report and it would be available tomorrow.
  18. Accident repair journey

    Most importantly no one was injured. My son was on the way home from school today and while at a complete stop, a car lost control and skidded into him. There is some damage to the hood and fender but the airbag did not deploy. The other driver would not release her info or insurance...
  19. Would you buy, price?

    FWIW...my sons car is similar but had an MSPR of 52,510. I bought it for 43,810 That is 8700 off, and exactly your discount if you can buy at 41,000. But his had 3 miles.
  20. Daily drivers, Under what circumstances do you "let the horses run?"

    Where’s the deal. He does not know exactly what I am looking at. And I have tested the breaking and acceleration algorithms. It takes serious intent to log an event. And I am not going to come down on him for 1 or 2 incidents. Overall, it encourages accountability and responsible driving...
