headed to work yesterday, and a lovely female driver decided to SLAM on her brakes so that she coul pull into a parking lot to turn around.

her brand new volvo with four wheel disc brakes was no match for chrysle'rs sorry excuse of a braking system. i slammed on the brakes and the wheels immediately broke loose. i opted to hit the ditch instead of parking in her back seat.

45 mph into a HUGE farming irrigation ditch, and things arent pretty. the front axle was positioned with the passenger side tire underneath of the door. the control arms and frame mounts are bent all to hell. the coil springs came out of their perches, gear oil is leaking from where the axle tubes connect to the differential, one rim is busted, the tie rods and gear box are TOAST, none of the body panels line up anymore and i can fit my arm in between the cab and bed (needless to say the frame is twisted)

ill be selling the 408, tires/wheels, transmission, audio system

not sure what to buy... thinking of a car though, any ideas? something quick with good mpg's

 

Oh man, that just farking sucks. Truly sorry to hear about that. I think I would have got a bit more satisfaction out of smacking the volvo though..... woulda been an at fault accident here.... but, screw it. You gonna be stupid? I am gonna run yer *** over.

 

lol amen to that heyyou. dude that sucks, i bet your pretty heart broke right now. if you still have your 408 in may i may try to get it from you cause il be moving to south carolina in april

 

yep, it truly sucks.

im still deciding on a price for it...

proformanceunlimited.com sells a turn key 408 for just over $10k, and mine is basically the fuel injected version of theirs. i just cant imagine someone shelling out that much dough for an engine though. how much should i sell it for?

 

How much do you have invested in it?

 

i could provide receipts in excess of $6k... wow first time if totaled it all up!

one of my rims is bent, could it be fixed? hoping the tire is okay... just spent $1400 on the set of nitto terra grapplers (they probably have about 300 miles on them )

 

There is a company that straightens rims.... (actually, there are a bunch.... depends on how bad its bent.

Did you have full coverage on the truck? (please say yes.....)

Start at 8K for the engine, if someone offers you more than you have invested, take it. If not, look for another second gen truck.

 

Are you going to junk the truck and get what's worth on it ? I would keep what u can and buy another 2nd gen !

 

Unfortunately... No I didn't just liability

What is a fair price for the wheels and tires assuming all 4 tires are good and one rim is bent. Rims retail for 1600 as do the tires

 

And how much for the transmission rebuilt $50k ago?
