My MIL's car was stolen from her driveway last week. The police have arrested the thief and recovered the car, but it's 10 hours away in Dothan, AL. The car is a 20 year old Nissan, so I'm not sure if it's worth driving all the way over there to get it back here. What are my options? Anybody in S. Alabama need a cheap car?

Is probably worth less than the gas money for the round trip

If insurance is going to pay on it let them deal with it.

I told her to call them and see, but I can't imagine them paying a claim if the car has been recovered.

I asked my wife if they knew if the car was in the same condition as it was when it was stolen, but we're not sure of that, either. I do know that the thief had a key, so it wasn't hotwired or the ignition was not broken.

This is kind of what I'm thinking as well- I'm just not sure how to go about getting the car out of her name so that we can cancel insurance, etc.

Who keeps full coverage on a 20 year old vehicle? Donate it to me and I will go get it.

A '94 Nissan is up there on the list of dumb things to go to jail for.

If there is a car max there sell it and take you a weekend beach vacation with the proceeds.

A salvage hard might give you 200, might.

if ins. has paid her, it's their car now, if they've paid and don't want it, go over there and sell it for a few bucks
