Our long automotive nightmare is now over.">Our long automotive nightmare is now over.
We got a call fom one of the several salvage companies Suzy’s been talking to in the last two weeks that they wanted to come out and see the car today if we were available. We made ourselves available as they sounded pretty interested in a 2007 Mazda3 with about 1,000 miles on it.
The wrecker met us in Vernon Hills, which is about fifteen minutes away from where I work and an hour drive from where we live in the city. The guy took a look around at the car and offered us $3500 on the spot, which was better than we were expecting and in-line with what the wrecking company that towed the car originally said it was worth. Our dealership told us that we could probably salvage the car for about $6000…. but they never bothered to look at it, and even if they could get $6,000 for that car, I highly doubt we’d get any more than we were offered today. We signed the title over as he signed the check to us.
So as soon as the check clears, we’re done with this whole affair, which is a huge relief cleansing our collective karma before we move next week.
(long sigh) Fuckin’ A.
