2001 Ford Mustang Engine Size unknown Front Wheel Drive Automatic 88000 miles

My car was recently wrecked and was wondering if I only paid what it cost to get the car driving again would I have more trouble than it's worth? The front end was messed up to where it needs new headlights and the whold front has to be pulled back to fit into place. Would this cause problems with alignment to where I would be spending more money on tires or what not. My other option is to pay a whole lot more at once to have it all done right would that still make it worth driving without any future problems? Please let me know something I miss my car but also want to know if Its worth fixing.

Thanks
Genice

That is always going to be a question. IF your going to do it, do it right. HAve a shop with a good reputation repair it. Theorically, it shouldn't have a tire wear problem if it was repaired right.

The best way I can answer that is with this question:
Can you buy a car that is similiar for the cost of the repair? If you can't, have the work done and see how it goes. Can always sell it if your unhappy.

I've seen cars that were wrecked but unless your looked for signs, would never have known.

It's a 2001 Mustang GT my boyfriend stole it and put it in the ditch and they say he did around $4,000.00 dollars worth of damage to it. Mainly the front end and tore up my dual exhaust and cracked the rear bumber.
