Audi A6/4.2 crashed by my house...

[walian at att.net]

It was an  older saturn valued at $500. It hop over the bumper and into the car. Now the Dodge Ram that hit him in the rear crunched his car pretty good. But you really couldn;t see any damage on the front of his car. The sad fact is that nothing is wrong with the engine or drive train however to repair it they said it was $8,500 I am getting $9300 from the insurance company for the car, which includes the 5% sales tax in MD. I babied this car and planed on keeping it for another 100000mi, which it would have easily made. They showed me some cars in the area that were much less miles selling for about 9,500 but they just didn;t do the maintance that I did like flushing the trans, and radiator fluid. I also flushed the brakes every year. I already got them to bump it up from 8800 so I guess I will cut my losses because I dont plan on buying someone elses headache .

Maybe I will get a saturn, Not!!!
