That may well be how this all shakes out - found a high mileage Mercedes 190e for not much. Also looking at a 214,000km 94 900 5 speed (No turbo but 2.3 and still has distributor) for not much more. Haven't heard from anyone with regards to what, if any, claim the good folks at Budget Rental want to make and I feel a little like I'm awaiting sentencing. The truck was a long term roofer rental and literally on it's way to auction when we brushed one another. I took a very close look at mine in the sun the other day and all there is a short black scuff mark along the front of my panel to where the bumper once hung - so I think all I might have caught was the tire. I'm not making any claim (PI/PD is all I can carry) - there is good argument it will cost Budget more than it's worth to claim - but as I've heard nothing from anyone, I'm going to have to hold on for a bit and see what happens. It could be my little family and I may well be getting a lot of exercise in the coming couple of years - depending.. :( ..
