Hi guys, This is a Brooklyn, NY newbie here. A couple of months ago, We had a very bitter experience with our new Jeep Grand Cherokee L Overland trim. In brief, while being parked overnight on the street, one of those ruthless NYC Sanitation trucks damaged the sub-frame. The vehicle is in a repair …

Subframe? If that appears on a Carfax you watch the offer drop down. I don’t think the ‘VA Buyer’ checked that but he will when you try to sell it. Try to get Diminished Value from the City as well but it can be hard.

Need advice please about an offer from a car buyer - Is it a good deal?
