Default What to do with my smashed up SC300?

Hello everyone,

My SC300 got in an accident and it sustained front end damage to the hood, bumper, radiator, battery, fuse box, and head lights. The can be fixed easily but I don’t plan to go that rout. What is the best way to deal with this car? Should I list it on ebay.com for example?

Keep in mind that prior to the accident the car was in a very good condition. Meaning most of the common problems to this car were fixed. To name a few the bearings were replaced, new drive shaft, new front control arms, axels rebuilt, new engine mounts, steering column bushings, new alternator, and new clutch assembly. I am sure I forget something else. To summarize the car was in a very good condition and it’s a shame that I have to let it go that way, but since I have to what is the best rout. Thanks in advance for your input!

PS. The car was lowered using tokiko and ebach struts and springs. Plus I have for ittwo sets of wheel.

Thats not an option because this accident happened right when I was preparing to move out of states. Plus I wont have the time to sell it as parts. Otherwise you are correct the car is too good just to give to a junk yard even if it would cost 2000-3000$ in repairs.

Grab a wrench and part out...Ebay, recycler, craigs list..Sell part by part and make cash... Or unload damaged and get nothing for it...Maybe repair it for just under what the car is worth..It sounds like your pretty much screwed..

Seriously, I would fix for as cheap as possible and sell and hope to make some profit, or just part out, motor, tranny, etc......Probably make more money parting out....Good luck man....
