[Shotimes] RE: Forward info on SHO for sale, mechanics special

[Paul L Fisher]

OK... maybe not nuts, maybe seeing the world with rose colored glasses.

I agree they should get an offer from the insurance company 1st, use the
$5000 of receipts as leverage to get it as high as possible, the insurance
company will definitely total it and might give them $3500, which is all it
would be worth in pristine condition.

As my 'brother' Ian said, it all depends on mileage, what the $5000 worth of
motor work involved (blower, turbocharger, Quaife).

Paul,

Owner is not nuts, just had a recent wreck on a car they liked very 
much.  I told the owner that $5000 of repair or even mods doesn't mean 
the car is worth that in the end.  Much less for sure, even before the 
wreck.

I also said if they had insurance that she would be much better off 
getting a settlement from them than selling the car for parts/fix-up.  I 
hope they explore that avenue.

I hope we don't pile on the owner for trying to get back some of the 
money they spent, I am sure reality will click in with a gentle nudge 
rather than a splash of cold water.  :)
