Sorry about your misfortune. For what its worth my own thoughts are : 1) Once a car has had such a big shunt you may find all sorts of mechanical problems developing in the future - I think this may be because the components get a jolt which may move them slightly out of alignment, force dirt into them etc. Only a theory but this does appear to happen to colleagues' cars once they've been in accidents 2) More importantly will YOU feel the same about the car after such a large repair i.e its not the car I've grown to love - illogical to be sentimental over four wheels but there you go - but that's a decision only you can make Regards Andrew Eugene Elk <geneelknopsamdnet.att.net> wrote in message news:KNq95.9811$oh5.745369nopsamsc04-news.ops.worldnet.att.net... > My 98 900SE (41K mi) suffered some pretty serious rear-end damage (about > $7,000).
