Found, now what?
Well, the Jeep was recovered. (http://drive.to/hanks-jeep). The problem
is that it looks like the front axle is bent, and I don't think it's
worth trying to get repaired.
What does it look like to you guys on the board? If it is unfixable, and
ideas on what to do with it? I'm not sure if a used car dealer would
give me any $$. In that case, I would probably take all the parts I know
I could sell and then junk it *sniff*.
I guess I'm just looking for opinions on what I should do at this point.
Thanks
Hank

Re: Found, now what?
2001 Jeep Cherokee sport. How many miles??
Relatively beat up but fixable if you want.
-Bent front steering knuckle on the passenger side
-Punched steering column
-Ripped rear bumper and mount
-Messed up dash where radio was ripped off (hey I'll send you a unit
that will fit in for the price of shipping!)
Get some repair estimates, I'd guess (sitting out on a limb here!!) that
the value ($8000????) is more than the repair ($3000-$4000???). I didn't
see anything that was a huge deal to fix.

vehicles that don't need repair. If you want to dump it, I'd put an ad
in the paper for a "Repaireable" and just list the details. See what
happens. Around here (midwest) that should be worth several thousand if
you can sell it with a clean (not salvage) title.
Sleep on it for a few days, I suspect you are not in as much trouble as
you think. Good luck.

Re: Found, now what?
Now we know where the "Drive it like you stole it" phrase came from. Did
they catch the scumbags?
With teh front axle bent (it's toast) and all that damage to the rear end,
I'd be concerned with the damage that isn't readily visible...is the unibody
still straight?
First thing you should do is call your insurance company, see if THEY think
it's fixible.
