I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
it was towed recently and they want 730$ to release it to me.

the car had a blown head gasket but I recently temporarily repaired it with stop leak..
the car had 180k miles . I paid a year ago i for it
my question is: is this car worth paying to get it back?

>worth getting back
Considering one can buy a fully functioning '01 WJ for $1-$2k, simple arithmetic suggests no.

Fuck I really gotta get a tow truck

ikr, what pieces of shit charging that much for "storage" fees. whatever happens make sure you don't get your car towed on a Friday as each day is 100$ and most tie yards are closed on weekends.

No, it isn't. The 4.7 will be fucked forever if it ever gets hot. Remanufactured ones are overpriced and hit and miss quality.

All of them. The cops here have impound periods written into law, and all their buddies are the tow contractors, so the cops use law here to force your patronage to their buddies tow/impound lots. So if your car is impounded for 7 days by law, you're forced to pay a full 7 days rate, which can be anything they want typically $120/day

to add insult to injury, i am forced to release my title if I can't pay. if this isn't extortion, I don't know what is.

I got news for you, if by "fully functioning" you mean "goes down the road under its own power" then yeah, you can get one that cheap.

Problem is, it WILL come with a shitloaod of unkown issues, a whole nother can of worms.

If OP knows his car and thinks he can fix it then paying $730 is the better option because I promise you, any other one worth $750 is going to be a pile of shit.

>>16950123
Yeah right.... they can eventually get a title issued in their name but I promise you they are probably lying because it is MUCH easier if you just sign it over to them.

>>16950207
I am located in commiefornia so maybe that explains it. they pretty much own my car and if I want it back I have to pay. them.

tow truck drivers are the lowest form of life on the planet.

>>16950270
repo men aren't even as bad lol cause at least you are bad debtor in default at that point.

Sometimes you can be faultless and get your car towed.

I used to live in an apartment complex that was trolled by tow truck companies. The had like 5 visitor spots for the entire complex but they were always filled by the same people. It was so bad I couldn't even have my parents stop over for an hour or so to visit because they could get towed. Complaints to the office about the predatory towing were completely ignored, so I just said fuck em. scanned my parking pass, switched the numbers around and printed out copies for everyone who was visiting.
