Reb - I understand, but I'd still never pay those prices. I'll just hold out till I find something out here, and with the overabundance of junkyards, it's not a matter of if, but when. Hell, I've found roof rails here, let alone clean black doors for a GP.
UR LOSN - I quadruple checked that with a variety of people, and they all said no. I paid the remaining $1,500 on the car loan just before we came to an agreement on the price, because I didn't want it on my payment history that the insurance company paid off the car. I know it doesn't affect credit, but I'm just a paranoid, obsessive/compulsive freak that way. Anyway, everyone I spoke to said the car would still be perfectly legal to drive, though I can only get liability insurance on it till I fix her, and let them take a look at it to confirm it's up to par. I double checked this with my agent, too, and he said it would still be legal and insurable. So.....hopefully they know what they're talking about.
