Ripoff Benz Settlement

Well, it's official- we got screwed on the Benz. The street value of that car in Portland right now is probably about 7-9K from what we are seeing on Craigslist, but they gave us... $1300. It is so ridiculous. Ron even showed them websites ads with the higher values, but they didn't raise it even a little bit! Not only that, but we got even less for it because it turns out it had been totaled before! We were in shock because we have a clean title on it, but apparently it was totaled in Washington, and something called title washing was done. The only good part is that they are going to give us the car back. Ron has a friend who is a mechanic, so they hope to find a cheap body with a bad engine and swap it out. Hopefully I will have by diesel wagon back one of these days....
