It would be a parter outer. I'll consider it depending what the buy-back is.

I was kinda suspecting something like that would happen, based off the way he drove it on the test drive.
Looks like he is doing the buy-back. He wants to keep the rims, and sell me the rest of the car. I'll probably get it.

Dude

What a waste of what was a perfectly good car...

How old was the kid that bought it?

22.
I was impressed, he got $5900 from insurance for the car. Buy-back was only $650. He bought it back, is putting the rims on his Mustang, and is selling me the rest of the car for $550.

Wow. Great deal from the insurance but I'm sure his rates are going to skyrocket.
Another great buy for Haro

Considering he will have bought the car twice, and make money on it both times...yeah, I'd say he'd make out alright

The car has just too many minor bumps and bruises to make it worth it. If I paint the bumper, then the hood looks bad, if I do the hood, the fenders look bad... etc.
I'm sure you're glad you didn't spend that money!

Wait, he's putting those swoops on a mustang? I gotta see pics of that, lol.
I bet you're glad you have those GP rims to chuck on there to get it home.

I don't think they would look good at all, but ya never know I guess.
It should be easy for you to recover $550 by selling the parts. Thats a good deal!
