If there is no frame damage and there is no suspension damage you can fix it for 2 grand. You may not be at the best body shop in the city but it will look decent. Of course where I live labor is cheap. How do you think all these salvage titles you see everywhere make money?

I'm talking about the one in post 1 not post 8

 

Pure's plan is probably the best option. To get your car back to how it was is probably going to cost 7k+ and if they don't replace the engine i wouldn't feel comfortable driving it. Once its been hit (even the slightest) there are always unforeseen complications that come down the road. You might get it fixed and drive it for a while but there are major repairs waiting. Honestly $5,700 isnt bad at that mileage. I dont think id even get that much for my GS where i live and im at 100k less miles than you.

 

Just for reference I paid 4800 in Portland organ for a gs400 with 156k miles with a clean car fax. It had a lot of electrical problems and that is the reason for the good price. It was the main ECM which I got for 280 with key in club Lexus classified. The ECM fixed every problem.

So if you take the 5700 I'm sure you can find a replacement with less miles if you look hard
