or worse, bad advice.

I admit, I'll criticize when I do a 9 second search and get the answer the poster asked.

I hate "which is better?" threads. What I consider "better" is not necessarily what someone else thinks is "better."

Example, I don't like the Recaro seats. My "better" is the stock ZL1 seats.

Ultimately the ONLY opinion that matters is YOUR CLAIMS ADJUSTOR'S, not any speculation on here.
Yep, had a girl pull out it front of me a year ago, her fault, she turned on her red light, admitted she never saw me.

Anyway, my Jeep's estimate was $1500 ended up $2200.

Her Focus had typical rear end damage, she even drove it home, even though it had a broken tail light. Her insurance company decided there was enough damage to total it. It certainly didn't look/seem totaled, but by value, it was.

It definitely happens. Some where about 15 years ago my mom was in an accident in a couple year old car. So much damage it ripped a wheel off.

Anyway, they fixed it, she took it home and found a bunch of stuff wrong and took it back. They fixed that, she took it home and found more stuff wrong. Repeated a couple of times until finally it was enough damage to total the car. Even though the car was almost fixed at that point. She just got a check from insurance, I guess they put a salvage title on the vehicle but I don't really know.

Yes, that's a great price for that car. Who do you think I am, Cars.com? Autotrader? A Carmax?

It depends, how much extra do you want it to be worth after you've run the hell out of it for 30,000 miles?

I burn out at every red light and have to change rear tires every month. Does this happen to anyone else?

No, you should get that fixed under warranty.


And if you want to sell your car for double what you paid for it, definitely black, it's extra rare.
