If anyone remembers my thread a while back... my M Coupe was involved in an accident a short while ago. Everything was good and well, and the place I took it to assured me that none of the damage was critical to my cars performance or long term driveability.

None of that has changed, thank God, but it turns out my car was previously in an accident. There was no cosmetic damage that would make this evident, and we searched the title of the car, it came up clear.

I guess the previous owner crashed it, and had it fixed at at (sh*tty) bodyshop. They halfaseed the job, covered it up, and it never went on the title. The guy at the bodyshop says this wasn't my fault for not noticing, because none of the damage becomes evident until you actualy take the car apart. Whats worse is the insurance company won't cover any of the damages not related to the accident (I knew this from the start, so its all good)

More or less, I think its pathetic that somebody would do something like that, especialy to a car as beautiful & rare as the M Coupe. I told the bodyshop to fix ANYTHING wrong with the car, big or small, and whatever insurance won't cover, I will pay out of pocket. M Coupes deserve better than some half assed job, and I am gonna make sure that mine gets the royal treatment. With so few out there, I feel like I would be doing myself and the car a disservice by not fixing it back to where it should be.

Marcos Auto Body in San Gabriel is doing a great job for me; they are the most anal, meticulous people I have ever met, which is great.

As for the previous owner of my car....
