Default So I rolled my Disco...

... More of a tip over, really. Not much damage, definitely no structural damage, just some sheet metal damage on the passenger side, a baseball size dent in the top rear, and a dent the size of my forearm between the a pillar and b pillar. anyway, the adjuster wants to total it just the same. My question to you all is this:

How much would you estimate the vehicle is worth to a salvage yard parting it out.

I'm trying to negotiate with the adjuster, and while his offer was fair, I need to look out for #1. He's suppose to call back tomorrow with a counteroffer and I just wanted more ammo for the # I gave him.

Thanks, Oh, and yes, I am still in mourning

well not as much to a salvage yard as to you parting it out by mentioning it here ont he forum. if the engine is out of the bad oil pump vins thats a nice piece of the pie right there. your transmission, your transfer case are all worth some dough. I would say if you tried selling the parts you could get 4 grand easy. hell im ready to buy driver seat what color is it? you have cupholders? how about front door speakers? ... lol

If I only had the time, I would buy it back from insurance and part it out. But I'm on that law school schedule and I don't even have time to say hello to my wife. ( I think she's secretly happy that she doesn't have to compete with the Disco anymore! )

that's about 2 grand more than I thought you'd get - good for ya!

personally, I'd buy a $4k DI in good shape - stick 5k in the bank, buy a $950 ring for your wife - and you're good for the rest of the year

luck,greg

WOW - I was going to $7k tops - good work... Now buy a '98 D1 for a couple grand and spend the rest making it what your D2 wasn't...

I am glad to see you were ok, sorry for your baby, but "All's well that ends well".
