Muh Baby
its been a loooong time since ive posted...sometimes i think no news is good news...so you guessed it-bad news.... got in a wreck a few days ago...motorcycle Tboned my pass. side door. dude was only goin about 25 caue he barrel rolled ova my hood and on the ground. while he is ok, my car ishurtn. The insurance company called today and TOTALED my car. now let me mention that she is in pristene condition with only 120k. she still purrrs like a kitten-done all the little things, spoiler, lowering kit, rainguards, eyelids, timing belt, high output alt. tv subs, bla bla bla, the hole nine... nowi only have 6 month on my payments THEN SHE'S ALL MINE!!! well she was gonna be...
insurance is offering 2 options, need feedback on what to do
things rong with her
Pass door, hood, front qtr panel, f. bumper, bumper lites&head.....(the big one) a small bend in the front uniframe?(cant b too bad from a bike at 20...)
options
1. total her out and after loan paid get about 4500-5k back for whateva(was sooo close to no carpayment)
2.total her out, i get 6700, buy back car for 700 and get her fixed with the 6g.
i do have a friend that does autobody and hes gonna be taking a look at it 2moro to see how bad but hes sure he can fixit on the side, frame and all, but it will take time, on the side. who knows i might even b able 2 get it fixed and pay it off with the money...did i mention i hate carpayments and was sooo close 2 gettn mmy own scooter...
another reason the insurance guy decided to total it was due to lack of used parts out there...any ideas(if i do get her fixed) for GOOD used parts or aftermarket body parts?
sowwie for the book, im just so depressed, i LOVE muh baby.if i were to buy anotther car, it would b a 1st gen tl

total it, get paid the $6700, buy it back for 700 and part it out on here.... use the remaining 6k+whatever $$ you make parting it out and buy a different car (1g TL of course).... you always run into problems when fixing up a car from an accident like that.. even though it seems like it's all cosmetic damage, there's always something going on underneath (like the little bend in the frame could turn into a bigger problem).. good luck

that sucks to hear, but if you're parting it out and the airbag steering wheel cover isnt messed up, id like to buy it probably, and possibly even the drivers side interior door handle
