Hi Friends,
It's been a while since I've been on here, but I wanted to let you know about my latest project.
I've been keeping an eye open for a replacement vehicle for our aging 2004 Prius.
A guy I know (let's call him Cris,) drives a 2012 Chevy Volt.
He hit a deer, or rather the deer hit him.
He got the quote for the body work from the body shop and insurance company, and it came to almost $8000. Since a car like that is worth about $10,000 in my area, the insurance company was just going to pay him. He had the option of buying the "totaled" car from the insurance company for $2750.
So, he called me and asked if I wanted a cheap car with body damage, and I said YES!
Both driver side doors were damaged, along with some dents in the body around the rear door. The airbags did NOT go off, and the car is otherwise perfectly drivable. Cris replaced the rear door window with some plexiglass, as the window shattered.
The front, back, and passenger side of the car were in perfect condition.
