Default Accident/ Parts

I just got in an accident and the insurance company totaled it and they say I can buy it back for 500 dollars. It is a 98 4 door LS integra. Pretty much everything is in great condition beside the hood, bumper and 2 headlight. Should I buy it back and try to fix it or part it out?

Pics?

Damage like you describe will likely run to $2000 or more at a reputable bodyshop. Impact damage tends to go surprisingly deep, making it impossible to get the bodywork aligned properly until the deep damage is straightened out.

As mentioned, pix of damage, however for $500 you would still make $$$ parting it out. 94

YES.

Mine was worse than that and I've made a TON more than the $500. I bought it back for. The wheels and tires/motor alone are worth more.

If you have a black/charcoal interior DO IT! Mine's tan and I'm still selling parts off it. It takes time and a place to put the car while you pull it apart but if you have those it's free money.

Make sure when you start posting stuff for sale, you don't use the technical forums and use the marketplace
