and just not sure if it worth the money to fix, its a 1997 with 160k. Im looking at around $500-750 in parts to fix not counting labor and paint if I take it somewhere. With a quick search I have seen these cars are selling for around 3k some higher, some lower.

Can any money be made parting one out to make it worth doing? The car was just my commuter/work car so its not exactly needed.

I guess the rambling in this post boils down to, if it were your car what would you do in this situation.

 

what about insurance?

looking at more then $700+ in parts. Plus you are not sure what else is wrong until you tear it down.

 

um... i guess you could part most of it out and make enough to buy another cl....

 

People around here don't know how to follow rules, I removed several vulture requests for parts. If you're going to part the car, please do so here

Personally I think it's worth it to fix if you can find a hood cheap, try car-parts.com they have local search through junkyards. Damage isn't that bad at all

 

Yea my bad... anyway what exactly happened? Front end collision where the hood took all of the punishment? It's hard to tell exactly what all is damaged from that pic.

 

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... MONICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" - Ja rule

 

if it we're me i'd fix it doesnt look to bad

 

Let's gooooooooooo menage!!!

 

i said that shit out loud....













i work at a High school!!!

 

Next person to ask is going to get a week off, read people

 

Ouch. looks fixable though. The worst part is gonna be the hood. I hope there's no frame damage under there.

 

Just had liability on it, was right at 100 to add full coverage with a $500 deductable, just didnt make sense to me to pay $1200 more a year for this car, after having it the past two years I still think it was the right choice.

Its already torn down, pretty much fender, obviously the hood ,drivers side bulkhead and headlight were the major pieces, luckily the bumper was just scratched minorly. New replacements comes to around 750ish and then theres a few odds and ends for about another 75. If I can find a decent used hood for a fair price that would be great and make the decision to fix it easier.

Was on the way to work and a fairly large deer decided to take a closer look at my car. For the size of the deer and the speed I was going Im surprised there wasnt more damage, the car held up pretty well.

Luckily, No frame damage.



Mods sorry if this post caused problems, if I do decide to part it out I will be sure and place the post in the correct area.

 

Are you using a fake age? $1200 a year w/ a $500 deductible sounds like something you'd pay if you were under 24 years old.

Since the car is probably worth about $2500 in its current condition, it's a tough call. Depends on how much you like the car and if you have something else to drive in meantime.

 

I wish I was, lets just say I have a long driving record

As far as liking the car, Im not in love with it by any means, but I like it keeping miles off my truck.

 

You would be surprised how the damage range of a deer run in can be. I had a dodge intrepid when I was like 17 and I had a giant buck ram the side of the car (I got hit instead of hitting the deer :P) anyway my side view mirror sucked up nearly the entire impact and it broke off and I just had some minor scratches in the clear from the antlers. The side view literally took basically the entire force of getting head butted by a buck.

 

^ im with ya on that one my insurance for full c out sky high

 

I feel your pain.

IF you havent found the center you are looking for and its the 16" 5 spoke drop me your addy in a PM, I ordered too many awhile back and got a few collecting dust/taking up room
