Buy it back, you will make a lot of money from that car... Side skirts, rear bumper, door molding, door panel and the list goes on.. You won't believe the money you will make from that car. Don't let them take it trust me. Im sure it wouldn't be that much to buy it. You should get atleast $4000+ from that car guaranteed.

 

Ill sell you my sc400 with the r154 for that price...maybe the single turbo too! Lol

 

I have a stock head unit you can have if you want it

 

Yeah I emailed someone about a pioneer amp. I thought I needed to replace EVERYTHING, but it turns out I'm only going to replace the head unit and hope for the best.

I've never parted out a car before, but I'll see what the buyback price is going to be and make a decision.

Thanks everyone!

 

dude remove everything u put in and take that 8k. thats crazy moolah!

 

I agree remove what you got in it. Then get the check and bam.

 

I don't know... 8300 seems kinda weak...
Just checked NADA value, it's almost $12,000. Double check that, but use it as a bargaining chip, stating the value of the car is way more than their appraisal. You won't get it, but I can bet they'll come up on that quote you got first

 

UPDATE!

Apparently State Farm (my insurance provider) is the only major insurance company that doesn't employ shady CCC or AutoSource "total loss" evaluations. Instead? They use NADA retail!

This means... they're offering me $12k! Same price I paid 4 years ago for this car! They're going to cut me a check tomorrow and go after All State.

Moral of the story: do your homework and don't accept the first thing life throws at you!

 

CONGRATS!!!!! still buy it back and part it to hell

 

I totaled my Evo in 04 and the junkyard let me take out everything out of my car after it was evaluated. Recaro seats etc.. Take the dough and take your system out!!!

 

$12k is an awesome settlement

 

yeah that settlement is dope. i expect to see you post a 600HP sc300 in the coming weeks or even something alot better.

 

+1

 

Looks like it worked out for ya. I mean talk about luck. It is a pain sometimes but life works it self out. Congrats!!!

 

take it and ill sell you my car for half with twice the maintenance done and records to prove it! lol
