Greetings from sunny Iowa! I finally got here last night and had my first look at the house today. Wow!! Considering I rented it online and could only go on the agent's statments that it was 'nice,' I did great!
I'm on dialup until the cable is installed next week, so probably not a lot of FReeping, but am happy to say I made it here in one piece, the house is everything I wanted, I found the local Rush station, and I'm just thrilled beyond belief.
A Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas to me! And to the good folks of Iowa that I've met so far. But I guess most of all, even moving far from everyone I know, I always have my FReeper FRiends, so I'm never alone. Happy Holidays, y'all!

Well.....the verdict on my old car and the deer hit is in.
Not surprisingly, it was a total loss.
I had hoped that they would give me perhaps $1300 or so, or maybe $1000 and allow me to keep the car, and I would try and get it fixed.
BUT....
They are NOT going to give me $1000, or even $2000...But over $2300... for a 1988 Riviera!! AND...allow me to keep the car!!! That is over 3 TIMES what I paid for it in November!!
In my WILDEST imaginations, I would have NEVER thought that old car could be worth anywhere near that much!! That is OVER 3 TIMES what I paid for it!!
So...now.. I am unsure what I am going to do. I would like to get the car fixed...but I WILL NOT accept a "patchwork car", where the door and fender are different colors than the rest of the car. One way or another--I have to keep it a bit longer, I STILL have not gotten my van back--they are having some kind of trouble with the tranny they put in.
In the meantime--if another Riv or even a trofeo comes along, at a decent price with the touch screen and in decent shape and miles and is not too far away--I will heavily consider getting it!!

I got bupkis when I totaled my '92 Plymouth a year ago under some strange circumstances...

Oh Jack, that is wonderful! Such great news. You well know it could have come back at 900 or so!
I have sung the praises of Adesa auction for years here at FR. I got my van a few years ago there. Black book was 8900 for what I had/mileage etc. I pain 3200. for the check you have in hand you could get a nice car I am sure & no doubt the riverea. You need an agent to work w/you & must pay cash with in a day. Adesa is all over the usa. we are lucky as there is one about 5 miles from my home.
After I got my van & told my uncle about it he told me that that is where he got his almost new cadilacs every 2 years! But he was going to the one in Buffalo.

Actually they are called Willow Tree, but they focus on Angels. What is really interesting is that the angels don't have physical features on their faces.
