my aunt totaled her 05 or 06 acura RL, she had over 200k on it from taking it to and from work. anyway she got hit broadside in the door/front fender area hard by big suv. the frame is most likely tweeked by the firewall and front left rail, the obvioius damage is to the door, fender, hood, and wheel area. i dont want to take the time to part the entire car out, what is a good asking price for the car as a whole? The insurance company deemed it can be fixed but was over the cars value so therefore they totaled it.

 

need a general number

 

$500 is a fair ASKING price for a totalled RL with over 200K. You'll probably get no more than $300 for it. I would part it out or let the ins. co. do its thing.

 

Post some pictures,i might want something from it.

 

the insurance wants $1600 to buy it back.. is there money to be made selling it as a whole still?

 

hondatuner020,

Your aunt could potentially profit from parting the RL out as opposed to simply selling the wrecked car as a whole. How is the condition of such major parts as the transmission housing or engine block? The engine block itself fetches about $4,500 (M.S.R.P.) for a new one so one so one could probably expect a used block to go for at least $1,000.

 

If you are still around, would you mind telling us what finally happened with this issue?
