I just wrecked my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I thought it would be totalled, but it wasn't. And it is true that you can get nice used cars for less than you'd expect. I know this is more than 2000.00, but here's an example. a '96 Grand Cherokee you can get for less than 5000.00! Mine is a 2000 model, Limited edition, and I paid $8900.00 (with my trade) which got me $4000.00, and that was a 2000 Mustang!! If you do decide to leave it totalled, just shop around. A lot of people are desperate to get rid of nice vehicles for dirt cheap, so check out bank repo's and auctions. Those type of sales are goldfields for nice, inexpensive cars! And do look on the bright side of things...
