The young lady would like me to donate $1,000.00 to her to take this car off of her hands. It needs struts all round, the sunroof doesn't open and the oglights don't work. She did take good care of it, as it was her car for work, and she drove around for her job. Any thoughts?
I'd phone your insurance company and ask them what it's worth ... what they will give you for it in a total loss situation is a lot more important to you than any other estimate ... start with that and then start deducting the cost of known repairs. My quess is that you will end up with it being worth just a couple of hundred bucks if anything.
