|
|
| Look at what I just won on ebay item 4642951871. RTL with navi for $14050 with 4K miles.. It has salvage title.. I didn't think I would have won the bid but I did, now I have to find a way to get to Arizona. I already have a RTL at home that the wife drives and now I have another one.. I got prices from plant honda for everything to replace that I could see for $1600.. I think it will need a radiator and a A/C condinser.. The guy said it turns over but won't start.. I hope I didn't make a mistake.. Mark |

That's a lot of money to shell out considering no insurance company will insure it.
Good luck and enjoy the repair. |

| My insurance company today give me liability and will provide full coverage insurance after the truck is repair and they and the state taging the truck verify the repair work.. I don't know whom you are insured with but I have USAA and I have a friend who has an Allstate office and he stated the same as USAA did.. the only down side is RTL’s value on resell is at the bottom… but if you clearly state that the vehicle has salvage title your fine… |

| Pretty risky in my opinion, but let us know how the repairs go. |

| I guess life is full of risks.. But can't stand to take a chance.. With paying $32K plus tax on my wifes RTL and I love the way the truck drive it's a small risk for me.. I know I can piece the truck apart and sell the parts on ebay and make money.. I just hope I can get it to start.. |

So Tuscon:
Fill us in here...you obviously bought a wrecked Ridgeline off Ebay...give us wayyyyyyyy more details!
Is there frame damage? If someone sold it...it must have been 'totaled' per the insurance company or they flat didn't want to deal with it.
How much engine box damage is there-if any? Radiator damaged or any key engine components?
I hope you will be able to do some of the work yourself...(easy to remove hood, side quarter panel, etc.
Please give us more info. I'd certainly like to know a bit more about your 'new' project truck and where you are going to get parts for it. We all can help you out there!!!!
Good luck! |

| This would be a great project truck forr some after-market mods. Since it cost you half of a new one, you won't mind beating it up off-road, either. The thing that's really going to set you back is the airbag, though. Let us know how it works out. |
