Message	Are you sure they meant they'll give you $7200 if you buy it back from them for $200? That deal doesn't make any sense from an insurance company's perspective. Paying $7200 for the car would, but then not from your perspective, as it would have a salvage title and you would only get $200 for it. They would make more money if they sold it to a salvage yard or something, so it just doesn't add up that they would sell it to you for $200. Just a thought though, I could be completely wrong, but I would talk to someone to make sure you know exactly what they are offering before you do anything serious, like buy a motor. On another note, there is a guy selling a jdm motor in classifieds for $500 picked up/ $600+shipping, it needs a little work but I would look into that as it seems a decent value. Good luck! JBrobst
