    Mustang vandalized - body shop or dealership?

    *UPDATE* I got my mustang back from the body shop a few days ago; been busy at work and didn't get a chance to post. The body shop did an excellent job, Dub Richardson Auto Body in OKC. I told them my concerns...they explained everything very thoroughly...they even had recently worked on...

    Mustang vandalized - body shop or dealership?

    Wow, this kinda blew outta proportion. There were some really helpful replies in here: SQUEEZE&STROKE, Towelly, highvolts, autumn_again, slow07pony, stangdude2000, bigcat and stanmckinney. Thank you for taking the time to respond with good advice, knowing that having your "baby" mucked up in...

    Mustang vandalized - body shop or dealership?

    Fairly rude reply there buddy. I don't know a lot about cars, no. But all I know is it better be EXACTLY the same as it was before, as in same curve, same smoothness, same shape as the other side and prior to the incident, or yeah...they will take the panel off and replace it. As I stated...

    Mustang vandalized - body shop or dealership?

    You bet I want an entire new right rear panel. I pay a ton for insurance, supposedly good insurance from Allstate. If I pay good money for my insurance, they better fix it the way I want. If they have to sand-smooth, sand-grind something down so the scratch is even, one side of the car will...

    Mustang vandalized - body shop or dealership?

    I don't even think I want them to try to sand it down and make it even. There are two concave bumps on each end of the scratch; very sutble, however. I want them to replace the entire pannel. New paint. New clear coat. OEM parts. Allstate is already trying to give me a run around about...

    Mustang vandalized - body shop or dealership?

    Someone decided to put a 12'' scratch with either a screw driver or LARGE key in the back rear panel above my rear right tire. It is down through the paint, with metal shavings; it is NOT dented, however. I pay a $100 deductible and Allstate covers repairs up to the cost of the car. Allstate...

    Mustang vs. Camaro/Challenger

    "The short run of 2008 Challenger SRT8s will be followed by a tamer 2009 lineup to include a six-cylinder base model and a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 R/T model. Though its interior is different, the production Challenger looks nearly identical to the concept car on the outside. The concept car was...

    Ford dropping V8s for the Mustang?

    It's hard for me to get excited about... 1.) A new v8 engine for our Mustangs 2.) A new Mustang altogether The dealer markups on the Challenger and Camaro will no doubt be several $ks above an already remarkably higher than S197 GT Mustang. Ford putting a Mustang for the masses in...

    Ha ha ha....man..I love the torque of a V8.

    Outrun ugly? I was planning on just getting outta the car and beating the snot outta ugly and his 2.5 cylinders :Zip2: Still have to respect, what appears to be, a superior preforming car :nonono: .

    From the sixer to the 8.

    Don't get me wrong, I get more looks and compliments on my sixer than most people in my area get on their GT. It's just a premo V6, highly groomed, highly styled. I love driving it. I've just always wanted a V8. For the sound, power, and basically just to say it's a V8. Growing up when I...

    Ha ha ha....man..I love the torque of a V8.

    Somehow saying "I drive a Shelby GT" sounds tougher than "I drive a Subaru..mate."

    Question about the NEW Mustang

    Agreed Gusin, which makes me worry. With talk of the entire body, save the canopy?, getting an overhaul, and rumor of the new body style taking cures from the Giugiaro...I'm worried. I'm Italian, and that car looks awful; the front just reminds me of the American Godzilla, don't ask me why...

    From the sixer to the 8.

    Hah I've come to the fact that there will always be bigger and better. Some people can get lost in the entire horsepower race thing. All I've ever wanted in a muscle car was some decent HP, a V8, and a classic muscle car look. As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing Ford can do to the...

    From the sixer to the 8.

    Well the 0% APR financing is nice, whether it's for 36 months or 60 months. I'm sure Ford will come out with good offers on the holidays...like they always do. Just as I'm sure SOME dealership in my area will have the stang I want with everything in it; it's just too popular of a combo not to...

    From the sixer to the 8.

    That's true. I live in Oklahoma City, which is pretty big, and Dallas isn't that far. Surely one ford lot would have a fully loaded Black GT...fairly popular combo. Then I just tell the dealership to hold it for a day or so, get the money from the sixer sell then buy the GT. Sounds like a plan...

    From the sixer to the 8.

    Excellent advice guys - I figured I'd lose a ton trading it in, as opposed to selling it outright. I will wait until they offer 0% financing for 60 months. Grant it, I want this GT to have everything I want, because I'll be sticking with it for a long time - not sure if I can order one and...

    From the sixer to the 8.

    Morning everyone. I have plans to upgrade, from my v6 to a GT within a year or so - optimally looking at either Labor Day or Memorial day '09 - for the best deals. Frankly, I don't see how they can make the s197 Mustang any better, and with the government cracking down on MPG minimums, I want...

    Mufflers put to rest

    Afternoon guys and girls, After tons of research on the subject, I've narrowed my muffler choices down to three: MAC single axle-back Magnaflow single axle-back Borla single axle-back I've listened to clips from all three, and I think everyone will agree all three give a throatier...

    Trading up (dealership responses appreciated!)

    Mustangs are meant to be driven. I will not lock my car up and only drive it on the most pristine weather conditions - so that won't be an issue. I do love my sixer, but I've always wanted a V8 muscle car. My financial situation will more than likely change next year, and I may be able to get...

    Trading up (dealership responses appreciated!)

    So that's how it works. Well, the MSRP on it was $24,800. I put a down payment on it of $4,500, which leaves about $20,628 as of February '07. Technically then, by the time February rolls around, I'll be close to the trade-in value in money left owed on the sixer - if my math is correct...
