[s-cars] Another one bites the dust

[chris chambers]

Floyd,

First if you haven't settled with the insurance company make sure they
are giving you a resonable value for the car. Some companies have been
known to low ball the car's pre-accident value which causes the car
to get totalled easy.

Several of us have been down that path, so please state what they
list the car's value as.

Secondly if the car is totaled and parted out if it's in good shape I
could use the exterior trim. (doors, fender & quarter panel mid-level
and lower door trim) IF the front bumper is in good shape I might 
be interested...recently damaged mine.

Regards and good luck
Chris
