WOW.
Tund,
I'm glad you've got your car back and $6,000. Ultimately, I know you will do what is best for you, but from my perception of the post, I feel that you should be satisfied with what you got, and "chaulk it up as experience."
Also, I just wanted to comment on the utter wonderful grammar and mechanics used in this thread!! I am utmostly impressed.
Have a great day!!
And just for kicks, check out this
