Default insurance question..

my car got hit on the rear driver fender, right in front of my rims, and also damaged my rims.. so my rims are discontinued so they have to get me a new set... the rims w/ tires are 2550.00 and thats with the 25%markup that the colisionplace adds on.. and the repair for the dent and paint is going to be aroun 1600.. so at the end, with tax and labor, its goin to come out to about 4600 bucks..

now i have a 91 integra ls auto.. i got for 3600 but also have invested alot into the car..

they're saying that they might have to total my car.. and give me a check for what the damage is worth..

so my question to u is this, i can find a gsr, stock and fix it up.. or get a 95 ls turbo.. heres the link and it has 93000 miles on it and i have no clue when he started boosting the engine, ill have to ask, but so u guys can get an idea.. heres the link to the 95 ls turbo (turbo's from eclipse w/ no shaft play, and custom bent pipe's) http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/...st=22 also he'll sell the car to me for 8k, or i can try try try for a wrx.. but the problem with that is monthly payments.. if i could find a wrx for 15000 and put down 5k, and finance 10k, that'll still be alot to pay monthly of i dont know how much.. so what do u guys think i should do? give me some advice and help me make up my mind, i love all 3 of these cars and cant choose from either, also price is a big thing in here too, i know alot of u guys would say wrx, but if i dont have the money.. then i cant, but its just a possibilty.

basically... what would u guys do if u were in my shoes?

p.s, the ls turbo is running 10lbs

Get the insurance money. buy the car back from them. pay the body shop to fix it run on stock wheels untill you can get new ones, and you will probally still have money left. then use the money to turbo your car. Good luck.

Find a GS-R, I think that if you get a stock car you will be better off. A car like the ls/turbo has been beaten to death, or it probably wouldn't have what it does. Start reliably, either with the GS-R or WRX.
