Yeah, I drove out to Cuyahoga Falls about 3 weeks ago to pick it up. It was a former California car with 58,500 miles on it. The former owner even left a packet of photos of it parked at his place in CA. Looked like a good deal to me so I ran out and picked it up. It seems that as soon as the ground turns white in Pittsburgh, all driving skills go out the window. I'm going to demand that everything gets checked through and through. My insurance guy told me not to be surprised if it gets totaled though. If there is enough damage it might just be cheaper for them to do that. I REALLY hope not. I'm looking forward to taking it offroad this spring.

That really sucks.
Before I bought mine I went and looked at that one, it was in great shape. I had never seen one except for pics and wanted to see one "live" before I bid on the one I bought.

they shouldnt total it out, it dosnt look that bad but id say get someone to cross messure your frame also. If you put it up on a lift you can see if anything is bent if you remove you tires.

Your insurance guy is on the pipe. That is FAR from a total. I had FAR more extensive damage that ran quite high in price and it was fixed with no questions asked.
You'll be alright.

Good to know. I took it for a quick test drive today to the local notary to get my plates and it seemed OK. No weird noises, no fluids on the ground. Seemed to pull a little to the left while driving, but Pittsburgh roads aren't exactly known for being smooth and level anyway. I hope to have it at a repair center this weekend. The insurance Co. is being a little slow in getting an adjuster out here to look at it, but they claim to be busy this week following the snowstorm. The weatherman is calling for ice again , I think I might park in the back yard tonight!

Make sure that they check the steering sector shaft as they have a habit of twisting and can't be seen until the steering arm is removed.
