So here's the story

I got t-boned, and now a month later, insurance has called her a total loss.

There was no engine damage, but apparently the estimate was too high for insurance (even though I took it to one of their "preferred" shops.)

Of course I'm going to buy it back from them, as I know I could get more even if I just part her out.

I've already gotten my hands on another ITR (PY 00-0001) but...
- Should I get her all fixed up to sell
- Sell her as is, and hope the buyer fixes her rather than part her out
- Keep her as a daily (not sure I can afford this option, with my new purchase)

She's drivable, but the door doesn't shut all the way. I had the inner and outer tire rods replaced so I could drive her from the site of the accident back home (9 hours away). Again, no damage to the engine, and from what I understand, none to the frame either...

 

Some more notes:

What needs to be repaired:
Driver's side fender needs to be replaced
Driver's door needs to be replaced
- door pillars (?) need to be replaced

Other notes from prior to the accident:
Passenger rear quarter panel was hit from parking lot accident and has been repainted
No Type-R badges on the exterior of the vehicle, except OEM red Acura emblems

Mods details:
Viper 2-way alarm
Lo-Jack installed
Stock 15" USDM ITR wheels
Stock interior (seats in great condition)

Photos would help, but if you can drive it keep it.

 

IMO, swap the drivetrain into a daily / beater, part out the interior, and give the shell to someone who will track it.

 

Where are you located?

I had a similar issue myself but my front end got T-boned from the driver side, luckily it didnt touch the engine. With both air bags deployed and windshield busted.

I rebuilt her, still love her for how well she does on a daily basis and on the track.

 

post up some pictures. i work in a bodyshop and can give you a rough estimate on what needs to be done

 

Sell it as is

 

Sell me just the armrest cover? Unless you have the armrest elininator=

 

Pics would help.

 

you'd be surprised what can be fixed. My Type R was hit HARD and I'm bringing it back from the dead. if its worth it to you you'll save it!
