testing waters..wrecked 96 gsr
Well, i crashed my car this weekend, and it looks as if the insurance company is going to total it. If they do total it,and they offer it back to me for a decent price, I'm looking to sell the car as a whole. I don't have the time or the means to part it out
The damage is to the right front (minimal) and left side (major). However, the engine is complete and fine(76k on it), full black leather interior (left seats squished right now, but not broken or damaged), only very slight wear on the driver seat, the rest of the interior (dash, console, cluster, panels...etc), fiber images CF hood, all 4 alloys with 95%tread left on the 712 kumho's, headlights and tailights are fine, 4 brand new brembo rotors with axxis pads (installed 4 days before i crashed it), aem CAI, stainless headers, bilstein shocks, H&R OE springs.
Its the full car, mint interior, 76k on the clock. Just banged up on the outside
Im just looking to see was people are willing to pay to see if it's worth it to buy it back or not
here are the pics of what is damaged. The seats are just squished right now, but still fully intact. The door panel has that crease in it, im not sure it its usable or not. As you can see, the rear axel is bent. Im not sure about the extent of the damage there either. I know the rotor and caliper are fine though. The pic of the CF hood does no justice. It is still perfectly fine and is beautiful when the sun hits the fibers.

the hood is mint, fiber images is top quality. If i did sell the hood, it would be local, not gonna ship this bad boy. The reason for not parting out is I dont have the time or space to do it. Im a full time engineering student and work 15 hours on top of that. And I dont have a garage to store all the parts
hey shoot me an email on how much you want for it.

I just want to make this clear, I havn't bought the car back yet. Im just seeing how much people are willing to pay for it, to see if its worth buying back.

you're a lucky one, i still got 2.5 years of engineering madness.
Thanks for reiterating my post. I have no idea what to ask for it, since I don't know how much the insurance company is going to sell it back for. I just need some idea of what people are willing to pay, so when the company does offer it back, I will know if its worth it or not.
Once I get an idea of what I can buy it back for, I will IM back all those who are interested, and I will post pics and a price(if and only if its worth my time to buy it back)
thanks

if it is totaled but comes with all those parts.. i would prolly say its worth 4 - 4.5 thousand.. the engine and tranny alone could be sold for 2500+.. So.. If you buy the car back for lets sa y 1,000.. you could always just sell the car as a whole for like 3000.. someone would def buy it.. and then you would make a ton of profit.. Buy it back.. You wont regret it...
Man if you do get it back and sell it someone is getting a good deal.. Ill give you 2 grand.. I know its low but hey its all I got.. Im in cali and really close to you so I could come and get the car. Its a long shot but let me know.
is the front windshield in good condition?? and how much of a drop are the H&R springs?? how much are u asking for these parts??...i am also in the bay and willing to pick up the parts.
def. buy it back, when my gsr was totaled they told me it was 2200 to buy it back...i didnt buy it
my del sol was only $100 to buy back
after it was totaled ...anyway....you could prolly get about 3 grand for it

probably willing to pay up to 3k for it. BTW if u need help parting it out, i'll stop by and bring tools
i'm not far from you too and i work in Oakland

Once again, Im not parting out It's not that I don't know how to take my car apart, its that I dont have any place to store all the parts(im a college student, small room, no garage) or the time to ship them all(once again, im a full time student, im at work or on campus from 9-6 everyday). If I do buy it back, im going to sell it as a whole. If the buyer wants to part it out, then that's up to the buyer. Please stop with the IM's for now . I have a general idea of what the car is worth. If I buy if back for a good price, I will post again and sell too the highest bidder. Im in no hurry to sell it, so I know I will sell it for a FAIR price.
Thank you all for your input and help

As you can see from the pics, the car is still all there, the leather is sweet, and the CF hood is not damaged. All you need is a rolling chasis to swap everything into.
well as soon as you find out shoot me an email
