Icon2 Accord got totalled

Thursday coming back from work my 96 accord got into 2 accident. The first was a suv going to make a left turn and didn't. He decided to stay in the middle of my lane, realizing that, I didnt have enough time to stop. So my car went head on. Airbags deploy and I hit my head on the middle mirror. I got out of the car and sat on the sidewalk, and people in the community were checking up on me. Than a minute later a civic come flying into my car from behind and I was a couple of feet away from my car. I was lucky. Anyways i spent $400 just to get the car back to my house. I will post pictures of it. But the main reason I posting is because I want to junk it. I don't know where to take it to that will give me a lot of money for it.

Probably not the right place for this post.

Few options. Junkyard, salvage yard.

Or... Sell the car piece by piece.

Oh, wow. Your best bet would be to either part it out or just have it taken to the junkyard.

Insurance not involved in this accident?

If you junk it they're just gonna give you scrap value. I gauarantee you will not get more than $300 for it the way it sits.

If you have the room to keep the car around for a bit, let it sit and part out what you can. Looks like you have a lot of salvagable parts on it that'll get you some good cash.

Surprisingly your blackhoused headlights aren't even damaged. I always make lots of money on part outs. It's well worth it.

I see money all over this car:
-Blackhoused headlights
-Cold air intake
-Wheels alone are worth more than the car
-Muffler (dent can be banged out)
-Stereo system & wiring
___________
$700+ easily.

Thats all done. These were pictures before I stripped it. I'm gonna post the parts later with pictures. I just have the car sitting on stock wheels n tires. Just have shell and engine left. Gonna call around junkyards and scrapyards to see what they offer. If anyone in the PA area I'll sell the engine.
