I have a 2003 civic EX coupe 5spd. I was letting brother rent to own it and well he decided to hit a guardrail. So long story short, he shafted me on a few payments and then wrecked the car. This is what I get for being a good older brother. He "thought" he had full coverage and he didn't even have towing. Now I am stuck with a paperweight for the time being as I do not want to fix is and have another car as a daily. The car ran great prior and had about 25K miles on a new top and and rebuilt transmission/clutch. there are about 180K miles on the chassis. Ignore the flaming i-vtec stickers on it, they were on it when I bought it. What would you do with it? what do you think it's worth each way?

 

It's a $2500-3000 car in good condition around here. You might get $2000 for parts but, you have to deal with A LOT of headache. Call pick-and-pull and the "we want your car, running or not" people and see what they'll give you. Except for that one corner it looks like good salvage, they might give you $1000. Take what they quote you and try and beat it on local craigslist. Just an opinion.

 

Unless it holds sentimental value, I'd either trade it in to a push-pull-drag shop... or salvage it.

 

I'm also in Funkytown. I had a guy offer $800. Im thinking maybe I could get a little more.
