Advice, solid advice please 200 89

posted by  someone claiming to be Tim Christensen on  Wed Dec 12 03:37 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Okay, so my beloved 89 240 sedan was totalled Sunday night. My fault. I got ticketed for followig too closely and the front grill, and both fenders and hood are goners. Repair shop is working up an estimate for me to rebuild my sweet baby...

With tons happening in my personal life, this could not have occurred at a worse time.

Anyway, the insurance conmpany will give me $2850 for it after deductions, etc. It was a perfect perfect car. (The deductions were for the tires, and a small crack in the dash, and minor underbody rust) She was totally clean..., a real cream puff that turned heads everywhere, and with only 127K on it, many reliable years ahead of it.

Now, the salvage value is only $469!!! I could sell off of that car EVERYTHING including all interior parts, the engine, transmission, doors, you name it. And oh yea...she runs just fine....drives and everything. It's jsut that with no headlights, well.... :)

What would you guys do? The repair shop migght come in with an estimate of about $3800 to repair, that's my guess. How does a mild-mannered college administrator part off his sweet baby volvo, or how does he repair fenders and a front end. (and there's nothing wrong with the frame...it's all okay down there....)
