Anyone want a slightly-dented Mustang?

[jay]

There's a low, foot-wide scuffed place on my Mustang's front bumper and right quarter panel that was scratched and slightly dented. That , plus a hood scratch, was enough for the insurance company to total it, and I'm buying a 1994 convertible from a guy in Richmond with the $3K insurance check.

However... the existing Mustang convertible's damage is cosmetic. It is a blue 1988 V-8 convertible with a white top and 141K miles. The transmission is 18 months old, the engine was rebuilt two years ago, the rear brakes replaced 6 months ago... the insurance company is offering to let me keep it for the salvage value of $324, plus $15 to DMV for a new title. It needs two rear tires soon. Would anyone local be interested in it as a second or backup car? At least you'd know its' service history... I have to let the insurance company know by the weekend if I want to keep it, otherwise they will take it away by Monday.

yes yes yes -- my sweetiegirl has two teenaged kids for whom this car sounds perfect. I will check with my partners and see if this works for them.

Of course, if you find a more needful adult taker, I will understand. :)

And if zpdiduda doesn't take it, let's have Perse take a look at it.

Shortly before you replied, I got another response by email... if they don't want it, it's yours. And then Gira, in order ;).

In any case, I've left a message for CSAA that I'll be keeping the car...

Still skating on Sunday -- I'll post a reminder. And you and mva responded back in November, so you are both on the prepaid list :).

w00t!!!!

i am so happy! i will look for the reminder to tell me times etc.. oh, and will the reminder also have an address? i have been there a few times, but my memory is a bit fuzzy as to where it is... of course, i remember every detail of what the building looks like.. inside and out!

If any of the above decide against, let me know. Jon and I need a 2nd vehicle. :)

Sure!

I feel like a bit of an idiot for not putting this out earlier in the week... now, the paperwork will be more complicated and the insurance company might refuse.

In the highly unlikely event that all these others fall through, it would be a good car for Victoria...
