Only 1 week old... and this happened

[flynomore]

I am sorry to hear about misfortune. How long did you have wait for your maverick?

About 6 mos. Not as long as a lot of people.

why the long wait

All the body shops in this area are backed up 3-4 months. The shop I'm going to do the work said parts are showing that they are available but he won't know if they're backordered until he actually orders them.

Since it's going through insurance, there will be a ding on your car fax about this accident, which means the value of your truck will be less. So ask for Diminish Value from her insurance company. Read this to help you understand how to ask for it.

Thanks I'll look into it.

This is why I'm so paranoid when driving my own Maverick. I'm so afraid that some idiot will perform a hit and run or if they do stick around, they won't be insured and I have to pay the price for something I didn't do. And to top it off, I'm worried that heaven for bid this happened, all the body shops will be fully booked or parts will be on back order. As a result, I would be driving around in a vehicle with extensive body damage that will always bother me when I approach it, and people would have a false perception of my driving because they'll think I caused it. I know I shouldn't give a s*** what other people think but I only mention it because people judge other's driving just by taking a good look at their vehicle. If it's dirty/heavily wrecked, it shows they're typically a real s***ty driver and don't care about their vehicle. If it's clean and presentable, it shows they drive defensively and care for their own vehicle.

Wow, my sentiments exactly!

Thank you. It has been about 8 months for me so far . I keep hoping I will get an email soon.

and then this happened. Stopped in a parking lot waiting for a guy to back into a spot and WAM! a woman backed into me. It's worse than the pictures let on. $3800+ in damages. Bad news is it will be July or August before I can get it in.

Character!

Don’t live in fear. All is well

For that reason I always try to park in the far reaches of the parking lot, away from other cars. If I do have to park next to other cars I won’t park next to one that’s beat up or one that has the front wheels turned hard in either direction or if they are off center in the parking space.
People just don’t care, they’ll open their doors into you and not even think twice about it.

Just when you thought having a BRIGHT RED truck would make it more visible in a world of monochromatic vehicles...

Sorry about the damage.

I'm telling You! My co-worker is horrible! Tailgating, running yellow, pink, and even red lights.

I never stop for pink lights...

My very first new car a 1980 Chevy Luv was rear ended at a stoplight. One week after I bought it. My head went throgh the back window. The parts were horrible to find. Bodyshop wanted to replace the back window with plexiglass. The crash caused all the pop welds to show on the outside of the bed was never the same. Looks like your truck will get a new doorskin. Good luck! Even when I park far away from other cars some rust bucket always seems to park next to me. Between shopping carts and door dings hard to avoid.

That sucks! Sorry for you and your new ride.

Be sure to return and report on how well they do on color matching that tri coat HPR.
