Help finding my son a new car
My sons 2000 Ford Explorer front wheel completely froze up and destroyed the brakes and there is a problem with the rear axle too. Repair cost is over $1000 and I'm not paying that. Time to look at a new car for him.
Who were the resident dealers on this site again? Here are the cars he is looking at. Any opinions would be great as I have had it with car shopping these last few years. http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...3293/overview/ http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...3293/overview/ http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...4780/overview/ http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...57067/overview http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...4677/overview/ |

I'm considering not even helping him this time and making him go all summer without a car.

I still can't figure how he did thousands of dollars worth of damage just by hitting a curb. His story sounds fishy at best.

I was in a car that hit a curb at around 25 MPH, totalled out the car. Hit it just right. Not saying, that it happened that way, but it can happen.

I'm not seeing how that equates to a 2300 repair job.

Okay, now I'm seeing at least a couple grand. Hell that wheel is probably $300 on its own. Everything else on that side is probably ****ed up too.

Not shit!
Glad I sold it to some 20 year old girl who probably drives very cautiously and like a grandma. I think this sounds like texting and hitting a curb too. Only way you would hit something that hard would be not paying attention and slamming into it. |
