    i crashed my car...

    i crashed my car into a muni bus. im so pissed off. i was looking over my left shoulder to see if i could get around the dumb ass bus, while i was doing this the bus stopped a lot earlier then i thought it would and when i looked back the bus was an inch away from my grill and i had no time to stop.
    CRASH!!!!!

    so what is the best thing to do now? how much do you think i can get from the insurance company? should i part it out or should i sell it as is.
    the car is a salvage title. its a 1991 318i. the only mods it has are m3 offset bushings, h&r's, bilsteins, and an aftermarket exhaust. besides the large ding in the front end the car is in good shape with a vary clean interior and a strong engine that has 15,333 miles on it. i need a new car for school and work so whats is the best way to get the most money possible for this car?

      Its definitely fixable...just a matter of how well your insurance will pay will determine whether its worth it or not.

        Fender, hood, rad support and some little things and your good to go. Your not gonna be too happy with the end result from the Ins company b/c your car is salvaged title but every little thing helps.
        I vote fix it, looks clean. BTW is the mileage a typo? did you mean 150,xxx

              mileage is a typo... sorry 153,337
              here are some more pictures of the inside


              the back seat in in great shape to.
              how much do you think i could get parting it out, and how much would i end up spending if i fixed it? i can't weld so i'd have to pay some one to do that.
              i just don't know if i want to spend the time and money on fixing the car. im not that attached to it. if i can get any money for it i'd like to get a 325, or another 2002.

                if you don't sell it sooner i might be needing that.

                    pictures of inside no workie.

                    you could really make some money parting it out, but you will have to take the car apart and ship out every piece that you sell, but may be easier than fixing the car. Of course i am biased. I want to buy some stuff off your car.

                      Just fix it. Looks like an easy fix.

                            man that sucks. driving around muni in sf is such a pain in the ass. Good luck with insurance and if you part it out I'll take the volvo lip/possibly wheels.
