Adjuster just came. This sucks. Based in part on the prices of similar vehicles for sale in the area (and this is Vegas, so good luck with that) the value of Blackbeard is $2,649. Cost to repair (minus the radiator, because he couldn't actually get to the radiator to look at it) is $4,500. Total labor per his report is over 22 hours. Even with the additional value given the new (<75,000 mi.) engine, the massive number of hours PLUS parts is just too much. Alright. Never been through this before. Aside from the new damage, Blackbeard is in FANTASTIC condition. Interior is very clean. Cruise works great. Power mirrors, windows, door locks, AC (needs to be replaced though), and the OEM carpet covers are even in good shape. No rips/tears. . . Do I take the total and have 'em haul it off? Do I have it towed to a recommended shop for an estimate? Anyone else dealt with this before? HELP ! ! ! ! -Drew '90 GL "Blackbeard" (Life Support)
