Theres a rabid following for those but this one seems over the top. Theres some outfit that buys low mile units like this one, refurbishes them to like new and they sell for this kind of money but a survivor, I dunno... They are real body on frame Jeeps with offroad cred but awful hard on gas. -C

I was seriously considering bidding on a previous 1990 Suburban. It was perfect. I think it had less than 100K miles. But, when it went over $10K, I was out. It sold for $13,900. This one is truly insane. I suppose the right buyer might pay $20K since it has such low mileage. But, $40K.

Not much you can do for the $3-4k repair limit on that car. Seems like everything worth under $10k market value is a nearly automatic total because you can't fix it for 3/4 of market value any more. Mitch. > On June 12, 2017 at 11:11 AM Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > > Curious

Uni-body and a hit like that will twist it. So step 1 is to chain it onto a straightening jig. Actually step one might involve tugging that corner back out. It wouldn't be hard to do but it'll take lots of time and time is money and its not that rare or valuable a car... -Curt From: Andre
