It was totalled because fixing it exceeded the retail amount.

Andy, I was wondering how much you bought the car for?

Tim,

Just curious, why didn't you take off all those aftermarket parts before the car was totaled?

You are not suppose to. It is the insurance's car once it is total.

yip that is correct smokyis350.... well Im F***... we cannot get the power steering to initialize... I bought the rack of ebay, it was from a 250 with 20k... might be from the recall... So it either the rack or the computer ecm ( $569.00) from dealer... Dont wana take another chance buying a part of ebay and it being bad after install.... Stuck and dont know what to do

Take it to the dealer and let them fix it. Prepare to grap your ankles though, I hope it works out for you.

I guess that's why the insurance company did not even want to get it repaired which would cost more than just totaled it.
