So the car is still on Long Island, and still for sale.

I am *not* on Long Island; about 3000 miles away.

I refreshed the listing in the FS forum, but wanted to give a heads up here that the car is still around and for sale.

I really don't have a technical update regarding the trans, or a legal / insurance one either. Sorry. I know that's what people are most interested in. But I'm really just not in a position to be able to take care of it right now.

So. If anyone is reading this from the Northeast, and is interested at all in purchasing a wagon, let me know. I can probably arrange transportation if that is the issue.

I need to get rid of this car. Someday I'll own another one...

Good news is the Subaru I bought for $2500 is performing admirably.

Whether or not the transmission failed on its own or the failure was the result of the tow company's negligence is the issue. The fact that the industry standard is to tow with the drive wheels OFF THE GROUND does not bode well for the towing company. The insurance company can argue all day long about the condition of the transmission PRIOR to the tow; it isn't relevant. The fact that their tow company did not adhere to industry standards which may have resulted in transmission damage IS THE ISSUE.

You could call a lawyer versed in Business General Liability Claims and tell him/her what happened and ask them what options they think you have.

To me, this is reason #89 to not use the insurance company's towing company.

Wish I was close.....would love to adopt the wagon
