Thank you!! The guy told us it had been stolen, the interior and hood stripped, and then bought by some guy who then rebuilt it, hence the rebuilt tag. Me and my dad looked over it thouroughly and the only damage we could find was a replaced hood. All the seams looked straight, there was no pulling in the front end, nothing. Anyways, thanks again!!!! I truly do appreciate it!

M-m-m. I wonder where Brandon's car ended up...?

That's funny :D

Shatz,
Thats funny. But my car is still at the insurance companys place in. Tomorow I have to get the wheels off it. The Insurance company only gave me $90 for wheels that cost $675 each. They said as long as I put other wheels back on It would be okay. The only thing that made it through the accident were the tires. They didnt even pop or go flat. The tires were only 1 month old. I cant believe that the insurance company gave me $13500 for that vehicle. The car dealership was only going to give me 3500 for a trade in a month ago.


Brandon

Brandon,
Sounds like you did OK with the insurance company, including the wheels. It''s odd that they want you to replace them, however...for what? I thought the car was totaled? Must be a ledger thing. Anywhoo, I guess we shouldn't look for your car on CARFAX until a little further down the road! ;>)
