acdii Report post Posted February 25, 2014 That would have prevented the pile up for certain. I do believe the biggest contributor of this crash was the fact neither car had any lights flashing. Now I wait, should hear if they are going to fix or total by this time tomorrow, in the mean time, I am trying to decide on our next steps in case it does become a total loss. Since I was upside down on the first Fusion and was able to work it out, I had no choice but to have a large monthly payment, but now I have an opportunity to make some financial changes and work on paying down a few other bills. So now need to locate something we can use over the next 2 years that is less than half what I pay now, then I can take the other half and split it between the CC I own on. I can have it all paid off in 2 years, and have enough saved for a decent down payment on a new or slightly used car that catches my fancy. I would love to just replace the Flex with an identical one, but I dont want another 6 years of high payments on it, so maybe a nice used Diesel Excursion is in order. I may consider a 4 year loan on a used MKT, maybe a 2012 which has what the Flex had instead, but have to wait until I find out what insurance will do. If they decide to repair it, I have a body shop lined up that does excellent work and I trust fully to do it right. 1 hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
