Been a great car. Rear-ended by some moron who was almost certainly texting. Insurance has totalled it. RIP.

How much to buy out? I'm interested for myself. Get a number from them. PM if you don't want to publish it on the board.

Buy-back is $7,725. Not worth it to buy back and fix. Going out as scrap.

Tell me about the rest of the car, not the damage. What's the right side door gap at the B pillar look like? Any wrinkles in the rear fender forward of the wheel?

TONS of prentatve maint. I put a new motor in it a couple years ago... it's the later version with the large IMSB. About 40 or 50k miles are on the motor. The car is a tip. Car is in excellent condition other than the obvious damage. Full headers-back Fabspeed.

Door gaps are good. But a crease in the side:

Sorry to see this, I remember when your engine went and the roller coaster you went through to get it back on the road. It’ll be interesting to see what the Gods have planned for you next. Glad you’re ok and I hope insurance takes care of the financial side well.

Pics seem to be a problem here as of late.

Sorry for the loss - I hate to hear this stuff.

Sorry for your loss.

On the flip side, at the rate these are getting totalled, maybe they will be collectable one day.
