Take the money and buy a new one... My two cents, less worry in the long run.

I will be taking the money forsure, but should i take the money and buy it back for cheap and just run it?

Not sure but would it be worth buying it back and using what parts are still good to build a nice MOD?

My honest opinon...let it go. Im sure if you are like many of us, you will buy it back with good intentions of fixing it up, then some time goes by and it get less and less important, then it begins to collect dust. A year later, you end up chucking it or selling it for next to nothing just to get rid of it.

If it was me, take the money, buy a new ride and dont worry about it!!

buy it back and part out the good parts, could probably make some decent money on it.

Heck, buy it back for 2000, and sell it to one of these guys for 2500, instant 500$ profit. Haha :d :d

Sorry no Pictures, Hit a Rock and pushed the left ski back about 6" Busted s and E modules. Lower a arms gone, and the chassis has a slight twist.

OK so here's a question....in a case like this you buy it back...throw a new tunnel on it or sell it and someone else puts it back together....QUESTION: So now that the sled was wrote off but repaired....can one still use the original serial number and get it re-registered? Curious as the serial number has been listed as salvage so what would the steps be to ge able to run the unit if repaired? Not to butt in on your thread.....You could always do like others are saying....buy it....strip it out and part it out....my question was for those that would be interested in buying it and fixing it back up...or a scenario like that...?
