Default My Jalpa Got Totalled and For sale

Hi Guys
Your'e not going to believe this but about a month ago I had my 88 red/tan 6900 mile -Bravo wheeled Jalpa on a lift at a shop for front tire balancing...and the owner didn't center the car right..and it fell off the lift backwards onto the rear bumper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was about 4 ft up. Then fell forwards onto the arms of the lift. So there is damage to the rear bumper , exhaust, dimpled the rear quarter panels and cuts the under carraige a bit. Car runs and drives.
Anyways, Grundy was very professional and is paying me the "agreed upon value" So i'm okay there. VERYIMPORTANT to have agreed upon value not market value!!!!!!!!!!!!! This could happen to anyone so be sure.
Anyways -the car is going up for auction in the next month here in Maui. It will probably start at above $14,700. Thats what I could of bought it back for. But declined.
If anyone is interested in biddding for the car let me know. You have to pay a $209.42 bidding fee. You don't have to be a dealer. I could act as a consultant for you if you like.

That's truly bad news. At least you came out ok. It makes sense now why you are selling parts. I would still be interested in the manual, and if you had the spare tire also.

Tow driver taking it away. Not too bad from the outside. Very driveable...I drove it home. Notice the dimpled rear quarter panels and pushed up exhaust tips.
