1. 80 Series

Two days ago our son had an accident with a Subaru that pulled out in front of him. Everyone is ok. The other car was driven by my son's friend, and for various reasons I'm exploring ways to minimize the expense to them. Exploring the idea of selling the vehicle rather than repairing it. Here are the specs on it:

1. We owned the cruiser in England and imported it to the US. It has been our family car for 5-ish years
2. Manual trans, triple factory locked, strong turbodiesel
3. UK market vehicle. Speedo is in MPH
4. About 170k miles on it
5. We put $10k into it last year going through the driveline: diffs (front had a whine), birfs, etc. Have receipts
6. Starts right up immediately. Uses almost no oil. A bit of diesel smoke.
7. Surprisingly quick
8. Clean Utah title
9. The wreck will require front quarter panels left and right, probably rad support, and possibly inner fenders. Don't believe there's any frame damage. Doors are just fine. I drove it in my neighborhood and it drives straight with no pull either way. I have a red hood.

For the right guy this would be a great candidate for a swap or to repair. Would be looking for $12k.

Glad the kids are ok. Priority #1 met

I lost my 100 a few years ago but it saved my kids. I get it

Hi folks, my apologies for the slowness responding to the many DMs I've gotten. There are some I haven't even gotten to. We think we'll have an estimate done by a bodyshop and then make a decision the week after Thanksgiving about how to proceed. So I'll push pause until then unless one of my dumb brothers-in-law gets lit on turkey and stuffing and gives me 15k for it.

You guys must make some really good turkey!

I have a bumper and some other front end parts up in Draper, let me know if you need anything

Wow, glad everyone is ok. Just the engine, trans and tcase alone are worth $12k.

Don't let your emotions to overrun your mind.
Just don't sell it, you will be glad you didn't.

@FJ404345 that’s gonna be a very expensive unit!

Yes the car alone is too much

Like I told my sister in law: Today is a special day. You only get married the fourth time ONCE.

Well what happened with this I was one of the first to PM and never heard a word

 

[Snowtire]

Hi folks, my apologies for going radio silent. I've been in a slow motion wrestling match with the other driver's insurance company. We're expecting resolution after the first of the year. I expect we'll be selling it unrepaired but with a clean title. I'll be away from email and IH8MUD until the first week of January but will post news then.
