So...alright, what kind of car are we talking about here? Whats it's actual value?
I understand the backup with body-shops. I got into my first car accident right before the hail storm when someone rear-ended me and they told me I was 'lucky' because I got my car in and booked and parts ordered before the massive storm.
Maybe take the $10K, deal with the fact that it looks like crap for a while and get a body-shop later on thats looking for work?
It depends on the car and it's value.
And it depends on you and your financial situation.
Do you really want to be in the vehicle market right now? Its insane.
This is more of a personal decision really.
It'd be nice if Pylon were still around because he could give you the real inside scoop on this kind of thing. If you want to talk to him I can make that happen.
