how many miles on the odometer? you're probably going to be better off parting out that 11 year old car.

any pics of yours and hers? i've caused my fair share of close calls in rental cars while working in texas. your state and its damn loops - was it on one of those?

well i got 12990.00 Out of mine. Mine was a 55k 2000 model ss. They gave me extra because my condition of my car was way nicer and cleaner than the average. Being a 98 and the miles I think you probally get under 8k. If you have reciepts that will help although they will rape you on that. I had 5 grand in reciepts that were less than 4 months old they gave me 800 dollars on them. Atleast you ok. Hate to see another fbody go also.

They gave me 7900 when I drove my water through a flood. They said if it was an actual wreck I would have gotten more. I told them to either buy me a brand spankin new motor or to total it out. So they totaled it out.
