I received baseball sized hail less than 24 hours after my purchase. The windshield was shattered, and the hood, trunk, and *roof* received some pretty surious, and non-PDR-able dents. My plan is to get *another* black 850 with some surious miles, swapping the trunk and hood myself, and letting a pro do the roof panel metal work. I can also get some trim peices and a cruise control actuator.

Fortunately, I had full coverage insurance who said my roof wasn't repairable. However, I don't trust a body-shop to do a good job of removing my interior, OR painting my car. Although I trust my local indy with my life, I'm not under the impression that he is a body-shop... however I likely should ask if he can weld. I know he referrs A/C work to a third party.

Either way, I have payments to make... and if she wern't so far from paid off I'd consider a swap.
