My Car is Totaled. :(

[SpasticDwarf]

Well, title says it. My car has been totaled.

Heres what she looks like: (these were taken after the accident, but the accidents damage isnt visible.




I paid $350 for it, and the only damage caused by the accident is a minor dent to the pass quarter panel. Its very similar to the dent on the lower part of the door on the second picture.

The insurance company offered me $1980 if I want to keep it, or $2400 if I give it to them.
I think I am going to cope with the damage, keep it, and buy another one.
I am also thinking I can get the money up even more by haggling with them this week.

Opinions on what I should do?

Ill post pics of the damage within an hour or so.

For $2,400 you can get a decent E30...

I say total it.

What about your ambitious plans for doing the Euro S50B32 swap ??

Surely you can't give up so easily .

If that dent on the door is all that happened...that is soooo faar from totalled.

But, I have no idea what the car looks like now.

Take the money and I'll give you your $350 back for the car. ;-)

No need to be an ass.
I did not know it was that ambitious.
I still plan on swapping something into my e30, wether it be this one or another.
Thanks for your incredibly useful post :down:


To the others-
what quality of an e30 can i find for ~$2500-$3000?

Prove to them what a clean E30 sells for and see if they will pay out more money for your car.
