This poor guy... got his GT Stang on 10/27 and the next day someone hit him. only minor cosmetic damage and he's asking $21,000. I don;t know why he just doesnt have it fixed!

Check it out:

I suppose, it was bound to happen!

It's hit down both sides. How the heck did he manage that? Most of the car will need to be painted to match/blend properly. That sux painting on a brand new car, but he would be better off having it fixed and then selling it. Stuff happens...

He probably has a reserve price much higher than $21,000. He's hoping to turn a little bad luck into a goldmine!

No, the price is at 21k now, and it says reserve met. Actually not a bad price, depending how much the body work/paint would cost.

Insurance

He is probably getting $6,000 from insurance and is hoping to sell his stang for what he paid for it in as is condition. $6,000 profit? not bad. ha ha

First thing I would do: Cry
Second: Hurt the person who was responsible
Third: Use it as a good excuse for a custom paint job and some new rims

Many people can never feel the same about a car after it has been in an accident, as the best body shop never gets it perfect. Honestly, if my brand new Mustang was trashed, I'd want a new one as well, especially if I had money to spare.

depending on what you want to do with paint I would estimate that it would cost around $2,000 to fix. I don't know how much body panels for these things are but on my 99 it was cheaper to just buy new fenders then it was to pay to have them fixed.

Look at the picture showing the car's right front. Is it me or are his tires mounted backwards?

I just looked at the pic again. The treads on the inside half are "inverted", not a mirror image. So the tires are on right (or so it seems). Duh.

I had a 2000 GT which I purchased brand new and the undercarraige got damaged. I ended up selling the car and purchasing a brand new 2001 GT. I would NEVER NEVER keep a car which has been hit in an accident. I would sell it and buy another one like I did with my 2000 GT. Let the other s ucker who buys my damaged 2000 Mustang GT deal with all the problems. Ha ha ha ha.
