Randallb every vehicle that comes in the door is probably financed even if its a moped.....so how do you tell someone it costs $$$$$ and never even look at it because its financed???? By the way we owned a repair shop for 40+ years and the only way a lender was protected was if they paid the bill including storage they got the vehicle----otherwise mechanics lien sale and we got the vehicle. Came out on top nearly every time...But you had to look at it first to give an estimate------
OP glad you are making progress-----being broke down on the road is no fun.
