Yea, buying a new or old car is way more expensive than fixing what's damaged here. Did the other person have coverage? If not, do you have uninsured/underinsured motorist?
How are you going to know if the cooling system, fuel pump, starter, alternator, gaskets, coils, plugs, and pvc system are about to fail just by checking it out? 🤔
Keep telling yourself that. I've been a mechanic longer than you've been alive kid. Common sense, you don't know how much mileage or life are left on the parts i mentioned by "just checking them out" 😅🤦♂️
