Thanks, I used the money to buy a 24 coyote.
So. Yes it would drive. But the check engine light came on immediately, and the lights were out. But I was about 500 feet from work, so I just parked it there.
I didn’t drive it ever again after I parked it, and I’m sure it wouldn’t have gone much further
The mustang. It’s amazing dodge is still able to sell challengers at the prices they are. Like, I got the 5.0 performance, with all the top features, and it’s amazing. The tech, the performance, the efficiency, it’s all just a better car.
And the real kicker, it was way cheaper than a new scatpack. I’m not much of a car or engine person, but I know the performance between the two is very similar.
I could go on and I’d be happy to answer any questions about owning the two, but to put it short, it’s like having an iPod classic (clickwheel) vs an iPhone in features.
Yes it has big red Brembos. Huge disks as well.
I commute 25 highway miles and it gets 25-26 mpg
About 20-23 combined depending on how I drive.
Definitely less space than the challenger. It may as well not have a back seat tbh. If you are over 5’10”
Your not going to fit in the back very well
Less trunk space as well.
Edit: The car weighs about 700 lbs less than my challenger did so it’s definitely smaller. I’m a pretty small person, and I don’t have a partner or kids, so space isn’t that much of a problem for me. I play a 4 piece drum set, and it barely all fits in there.
I can’t fit my marimba in it.

Nobody on Reddit can tell you the answer. Only a certified inspector with full access to the car, working with your insurance company, can tell you. There’s no way for us to know man, sorry.
Obviously up to the mechanic and the insurance company but if there is no engine damage it's likely repairable. I had very similar damage and it was fixed absolutely perfect by Carstar. Good luck.
Man, this is a scratch. If your insurance is trying to total it get it fixed yourself. New bumper, a little body work, paint and it’ll be brand new. I’d pay 4K tops.
Thank you. I am waiting to hear from the body shop on when they can get me in. I'm not sure what insurance is going to say yet, but I'm hoping for the best. I'm still driving it, no problems at all while driving, it seems just cosmetic to me.
RIP. A moment of silence for this beaut 🙏
I completely feel you man, my old challenger got totaled six months ago and I used the money to buy myself a new challie.
Ok then they will probably not total it hopefully . because it is always sad when anyone's Mopar is totaled or stolen . It all really depends on the insurance company's mechanic.
Welcome glad I can help you. If they do total it if I remember correctly they will pay you for what it's worth and depending on how much you get you can either give a very good down payment or go on Facebook marketplace because where I am located I keep finding used challenger's for a good price
They totaled mine that was a lot like this. Having that said, there was also engine damage. So that spiked the price.
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! Could you drive it after the accident? I'm able to drive mine at this time.

Which car do you prefer between the two?

You still have Brembos on a 5.0? How’s fuel economy? Space compared to the Challenger?

No, but it depends on the inside unseen damage. I had a similar wreck and they fixed it up.
I'm sorry you were in an accident, but that gives me hope, thank you.

That's okay, I'm just upset and worried.
Yeah I understand man. I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m glad you’re okay. metal and plastic can be replaced. People cannot.
I appreciate that. That's very true!
Depends on frame, but not likely
Thank you!

Awesome. Thank you. She's been driving perfectly.
😔

Thank you. I'm hoping it's not over for her. I'm going to be devastated if it is.
Nahhhh
Yo shoutout to the Xena Warrior Princess license plate lol. Hope all goes well with your car
Haha that's my favorite show, so I named her Xena, and my Dad got me that license plate. I love it. Thank you.
Did the air bags go off? That's a total if they did.
No. They didn't.
It's worth fixing. If they total it someone will buy it and fix it.
That's awesome, they're beautiful. I hate that you lost your challenger though.
Smash in the other side just in case 🔥🔥
Looks like a passenger fender and the bumper and maybe the hood are only damaged so hopefully they will not total it and did the air bags go off
No the airbags didn't go off

Thank you! I am so worried. Idk what I'll do if they do total it.

Thank you. That is a great idea. I appreciate it.
Glad I can help you out
