2 Attachment(s)
Ok so when i bought the car the paint in the front bumper started to chip...and i called the dealer and i they're gonna take care of it, i just have to make the appointment. which will be done soon! but i have another problem the front right tire is like...off. idk what the problem is and was wondering what it was to get it fixed. ima talk to the dealer but i think i have to get an estimate and i guess ya'll can help me decipher what the problem could be...thanks :cool:

did you buy a car thats been in a front end collision?

juancarlos91 07-14-2008 03:43 PM

jon2325 07-14-2008 07:30 PM

juancarlos91 07-15-2008 05:45 PM

dude that is going to cost alot I imagine. Why would you buy a car that has been in a front end collision? Also does the car drive straight, just curious??

SnTBakosFinest 07-15-2008 06:03 PM

uh...might have to cut your losses... ;x

i bought it from a family type dealership...i know the dude personally...idk though, it might not be much ... but who knows...if it ends up not being worth it, i might talk to him and get another 'stang. and yeah, it drives straight...

btw ...on AM the intake kit for 74.99 isnt for 04 mustangs?

the 04 mustang motor is the same, it was just some fancy measuring from ford that made it 3.9L, numerous members have that intake installed on there 04's. It will work

thanks man...im worried for my stang now...i dont wanna lose it! how bad is it about it being in a f-e collision?

a front end collision can seriously damage the suspension, as evident by the position of your passenger side wheel. numerous things could be broken/breaking. i wouldn't even drive the car, it looks unsafe.

judging by the fact the tire is a good 4-6'' out of it's place, it is probably pretty screwed up, that would be my guess.

juancarlos91 07-15-2008 08:15 PM

no, it was fine till my cousin was driving it and hit a curb really fast which threw off the wheel. it was normal before though. trust me, i'm cautious about what cars i drive. it's safe. if anything like that happens, they'll take care of it. i learned my lesson about letting people drive my car ;)

ps. anyone know a coupon code for AM??

I also just noticed your stang doesnt have the stock hood.... the stock hood for a 2004 v6 should look like....

juancarlos91 07-15-2008 08:29 PM

Must See 07-15-2008 08:32 PM

it has the stock GT hood without the hood scoop.

juancarlos91 07-15-2008 08:33 PM

oh, then thats cool...i'll just buy the scoop...how much do they go for? btw...about the AM coupon code...

juancarlos91 07-22-2008 05:52 PM
