Total loss. RIP Dodge Neon

Well, Travelers officially declared the Neon a total loss today. Some additional damage was found, and that pushed the damage total over their magical threshold.

I will be getting more than I owe on it, thank goodness, so I will have some money to put down on the next car.

I have use of the rental car through Monday, but there is a complication (isn't there always?): I rented the car in Dallas, and I (and probably my new car) am in Houston.

So, I must check with Enterprise to confirm that they will let me drop the rental car off here. if so, no problem; I purchase the new car, get all the documentation set, then call Enterprise, drop the car, and get them to drop me back at the dealer.

If I can't drop the rental in Houston, I will have to juggle this weekend: buy the new car, drive the rental back home, get someone to take me back to the dealer to get the new car; then drive the rental back to Dallas on Saturday, and then somehow get back to Houston. Probably will get Mom to drive me down; I hate to subject her to all that driving, but we shall see what transpires.

I sincerely hope you don't have to make an unnecessary Houston-Dallas trip, that would NOT be fun. Good luck on the car shopping!
