GJ450 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hello Everyone, Just waiting for our C-MAX to come back from the body shop. Took delivery on October 1st, on the 3rd, going to work my wife hit a deer. The car had 181 miles on it. (121 from the dealer).Hood was crinkled, drivers side quarter panel, door and light cluster were damaged. I did not even get to drive it yet ! 2013 C-MAX SEL - Ice StormWe decided on the C-MAX after test driving it vs the Focus and Escape. Took the C-MAX the dealer had for a long test drive and was really impressed. Ride was quiet, car was responsive, handled well and got great mileage 40+ ( mixed driving). I really think Ford has a winner with this one ! I will post some pictures when it comes back from the shop ! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtorres Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Oh no! Hopefully the body shop squares it all away quickly and your back on the road soon. Welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinto Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Sorry to hear about your accident. Similarly, I picked up my C Max last Saturday and while driving home from the dealership I barely missed hitting a large buck that darted out on a busy street. When I say barely it was less than a car length going 40mph. Hopefully nobody was injuried and your C Max will be as good as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJ450 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Here are a couple of shots of the CMAX that is in the repair shop. The only part we are still waiting for is the headlamp ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNCGeek Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks for posting the pics, at least since this is such a new car they will have to use factory parts and not some after market garbage to fix it. It looks like there is a lot of plastic up front in the structure, guessing it is a weight savings - noticed the same on the Escape. I hope they get it back on the road soon.
