Well, everyone, as it has turned out, the collision shop where my Intrepid went for possible repairs has been flat lined. The body shop put the repair estimate right around $7,000 and as you may or may not know State Farm will only pay for repairs for what they percieve to be up to 70% of the car's total value. So as they say, she's been "totalled." By the way, can any one give me some kind of rough guess as to what my Intrepid could've been worth prior to my little mishap? I'm just not wanting to be "low balled" by my State Farm adjuster. They seem to use NADA but who's NADA? Is there one for the general public and one we don't know about that the insurance companies use? 1999 Base Model 2.7 51,700 one owner miles (me) Never been in an accident before. No body work. Excellent paint with mirror like reflections. Excellent interior with no stains, burns, or spills. Nothing even within the foot wells, either. No major mechanical failures of any kind. No leaks, drips, or blue "start up" smoke. (No sludge issues) Oil changed religiously every 2500 -3500 miles. All electrical compontry working. Every and all purchases and services reciepts (tires; oil changes; recall services; etc.) meticulously catalogued in a service binder. All in all my car has always been characterized by my dealer service people and friends alike that it was showroom condition. Excellent. Anyway, because I have thoroughly loved my Intrepid I went back to my local Dodge dealer where I got my first Trep to look at this used 2004 they had. Not very impressive: 32,000, hazy "spider-webby" looking white, and scratches all over the black B pillars of the car. I was ready to drive away and decided to just have a "look-see" (they say those kinds of things down here in Georgia) in the back of their huge lot and guess what I discovered? Not just one, but TWO brand new 2004 white SXT's! One has 319 miles and the other has 1,346 miles on them. Anyway, the MSRP on the one I'm interested in is $27,000 but he said they let me have it for $21,500. I walked away but I think I'm going to return tomorrow morning and offer $18,000 and then go from there. If there's anyone who's got an R/T or an SXT model I would sure appreciate some feed back from you regarding that high out-put 3.5 and any other things to be aware of. Anyway, sorry to go on & on & on... A I ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Help save the life of a child.
