Well put and spot on! That is what I'm trying to avoid! I've had two success stories with vehicles:
1. A wrecked F350, paid the insurance buyout. Hauled it.. sold it before it got off the trailer
2. A Saturn that had a main seal leak, figured out what I would get scrapping it, got an offer for HIGHER than that figure, sold it and walked away.



Wondering if this one may see the same fate!
