Crashed my TL Type-S what should I do?

I had a seizure last night and crashed my car thru 3 peoples yards, 2 mail boxes, cable box, and ended up in someones garage. My car is totaled and im screwed because im not getting any cash for my car with my insurance. So I need to figure out the best way I can get the most money for it will be. Im not sure what junk yards would give me for a Type S but im sure its not much. Im wondering whats going to be the best thing sell it or just wait it out and just sell whatever I can for it and then junk it after? I have RV6 HFs, RV6 J-pipe, and XL8 exhaust system im going to take off and sell for sure but what does everyone think I should do. The car still starts up and didnt get damaged at all.

First off, I'd be more concerned about why you had a seizure.

Second, this post hurts so bad to look at.

If you're patient, you could part it out.

Any plans for a new car?

Do you need transportation? Do you have access to another car?

I assume you only carried liability insurance.

If you could gather up say a thousand dollars, or part out the TL to get it, you could maybe buy an old beater Accord that just runs and then save for another TL, or whatever you'd like, from there.

You might also want to yank the motor, you J35A8 is probably worth a few bucks.

First off, sorry to see/hear this happened to you. Glad nobody was injured. Hopefully you will be able to get to the bottom of the seizure challenges with your doctors.

Assuming you only had liability? Or were you just upside down in the loan?

How much do you want for the EZ pass tag? You are very lucky you didn't kill someone, such as a child in a yard.

I only had liability and didnt realize that until now. When I dropped my full coverage a couple years ago I just got liability.

Holy crap. Glad you're not seriously injured and hopefully you can find out what's causing your seizures.
