If I goes that high, fight with insurance to have it totalled. Maybe next one won't have the transmission problems you have had. _____________________________ If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!

They are always asses to deal with though. Def one of the industries that needs much more regulation and reduction in the premiums they charge! In answer to your wheel question im 99% sure they will work with the 16s for winter tires. Let us know how it goes! _____________________________ 2003 S-Type R W/ Navigation 2002 BMW 745i Jet Black Over Black 19"s, Optioned Out, FOR SALE 2003 GMC 2500HD 4x4 Duramax SLT, K&N Intake (in reply to bobby181) Post #: 6

That''s alot of damage. - less time waiting, u can get into another car quicker (no rental)... if you have a good relationship with your insurance agent, go in and talk to them face to face.  What is the blue book (trade-in) on the car right now?   _____________________________ Matt 2003 XK8 CvTbl My Jag Galleries Go Texas Tech!
