I got in an accident already!!

Just bought my 04 m6 metallic blue GTO 2 weeks ago, a kid in a f150 pulled out infront of me! $3,400 in damage! front bumper, fender and hood destroyed! But I had just ordered the banshe ram air hood so now insurance will pay for it. Any ideas how easy it will be to get the parts for the car? Since it is new will it be more difficult?

Thanks

Ed

It took one member nearly 3 months to get all the parts and the car back from the body shop. That was back in January though, so parts availibility may not take as long.

How many miles? That sucks. Maybe his Ford was jealous.....

It's ALWAYS a flippin Ford

Thanks for the reply, I have 800 miles on it. I hope it is not 3 months!

Damn emm, so sorry to hear that. So soon to. I don't know about the parts. I hope all goes well for you.

I doubt it will be 3 months, but you never know. Sounds like quite a bit of damage.

 

[mistermike]

EMM, any particular reason for the cross posting? You've started 3 separate threads on this.

 

[Shocker]

maybe he really wants us to know

geeez, how many GTO accidents is that now?

and now another Ford doing the damage

 

[redgtosamurai]

Must have spooked the F150 when it saw the goat. :gr_jest:

Sorry for the multiple posts, I wasn't sure which forum to post under

Sorry for the multiple posts, I wasn't sure which forum to post under

most people on the forum use the "new post" button. this will show all new posts since your last visit from ALL forums. so you only need to post once. and almost everybody will see it.

Sorry for the multiple posts, I wasn't sure which forum to post under

If you do not mind, it is just here now. I merged the thread from the GTO order/TPW thread, so now there is only one.

Oh, and EMM, welcome to the forum.

The shop I brought it to, wanted me to leave it there so he can compare the insurance quote with the damage they find, and said they should be done within 2 weeks. even though they haven't ordered the parts! Does this sound right? Can he get the parts in a few days?

 

[Warren]

Maybe. There have been several cars that we know of with damage around here. The first one that I talked about was back in January (member's name is Tiggerfan), and there were just a few cars in the US at that time. Parts may be easier to come by now, especially since you do not need to wait for a factory hood.

Here is a link to the one I was talking about:

emm - sorry about your accident. Hopefully they get you all fixed up pretty quick...I have one concern for you though - some of the people that were in one accident in the GTO were in another soon after getting it back...So be EXTRA careful once you get her back...And if you see a Ford, RUN!

 

[mistermike]

Welcome to the board, EMM. Sorry for your cruncher. Hope no one was injured. Tiggerfan was our first casualty, and I think we set a record at the time for the longest thread.

I had an accident with similar damage back in March. It took about 2 - 3 weeks to get the parts, but this was primarily because the parts were not in the Pontiac Inventory Database.

the frount bumper as far as gm told me wasn't even availible yet the fenders are 300+ apiece the hood is 400+
