UPDATE: The adjustor called me yesterday with a quote. I went up to ford to discuss it with the body shop advisor. They currently have a quote of 3000.00 which seemed pretty low to me so I questioned the adjustor. Aparently, they will not use new OEM parts but what are called LKQ parts from a salvage yard. Lets just say I about put my fist through the fuggin wall because to me this is completely unacceptable. If they were to use new parts, the car would for sure be totaled but I guess they're not required to use new parts. When I went to see the car yesterday, I noticed the connector rod was bent extremely bad so who knows what other damage is beyond that. I guess they'll start to pull the car apart and then make their final determination but it looks like they're going to fix it and I'll be stuck with a car that's not worth shat. From one stand point, I'll be happy to have my tour back but from another standpoint I'm extremely upset that a car that I've worked hard to take very good care of is going to lose most of it's value. I'll post again when I have further details.
