Robert, check w Coprats. since they have cars shipped, ask if they have a dolly for rear end to get on/off trailer or what they wil do?

As much as I like the idea of a road trip I'm sure I would get sick of Rickit's regaling about his golf cart

I'd pick up the back end with my JD and just have someone steer to where you want it. If you are going through the trouble of getting the car, just rent something from Home Depot for the last 200 feet

Don't get Stikki involved or the project will go the way of the golf cart and never get finished.

So, what do you plan to do now? Take the money and go buy something cheap and reliable?

What's the bid now? And are you considering buying your salvage car and just holding on to it, while continuing to search for another parts car? Surely that's not a rare model, although finding what you want, wrecked or flooded, in your exact color makes it a little more complicated.

The bid is at $3,100 now and it closes at 1:00 EST. Here's what the total would be:

Bid = $3,100
Payment fee = $ 750
Gate Fee = $ 59
Live bid fee = $ 89
Transport = $ 920 (Found a transport company cheaper than theirs)
Taxes (approx) = $ 281
-----------

Total = $5,199

I'm getting the car back and will keep up my search for parts.

I have my eye on a 2018 Mazda 6 with 45K that I'll look at this weekend. Hopefully will only need to add $5K to what I have remaining from the insurance pay out.

For that kind of money you could buy new factory panels...
