...big pick-ups, thankyou!

This six year old Scion with almost 200k miles has been a great car with no parts needing replacement except for brake pads and brake rotors.

With that low trade-in value of just $300 from Irwin, it doesn't make any sense to put the $2000-insurance payment into body work to repair the t-boned doors which both still can be opened and closed and locked.

Will just pocket the $2000 and drive a beat up Scion and maybe drive it for another 50-100,000 miles ...... time will tell!

Once the weather warms up, will throw a quick fix of a noodle, some shoe goop, and silver duct tape to patch it up and fill in the separation between the back door and the frame and it will blend with all the other beaters, out there. ....

With the trailer hitch, front wheel drive and a 5-speed stick ...... it's the #1 best tow vehicle ever made! .....

So far my 2013 Scion xB with 193k miles has been hit by a 70-year old woman in the Plymouth Walmart parking lot, July 2018, Plymouth Police attended, who backed into my car while I was sitting inside my parked car causing about $500 insurance estimate damage; struck by a very fast running, small deer, in April 2019 on the Meredith Neck Rd while driving, Meredith Police attended, causing about $500 insurance estimate damage; and hit by this "old guy?" hit & run Plymouth Police-caught, while driving on 2/12/20 in Plymouth causing about $2000 insurance estimate damage.

In all three incidents, the local police were there soon after; a Plymouth woman police officer, a Meredith male police officer, and a Plymouth male police officer and all three different police officers were right there, doing what they is supposed to do. I got excellent police response/look-see/report-respond with all three different, minor, no personal injury, collisions .... so that probably does a lot to help keep the local roads safe.
