Default My new car is totalled?!?!!?

Well from just looking at my car, it only seems to be like 3g to fix, but there seems to be some frame damage and now they declared it totalled. I'm soooo pissed right now b/c i spent so long looking for the right car. It was a 93 SC300 5spd *hence my name* and i was just starting to buy some mods. Bought it w/ some BBS' too. Arghh. Is it worth buying back from the insurance company and parting it out?

I mean everything was flawless!!! Car only had 60k on it. And i just got it in August. Man i'm sooo bummed

Also where can i look for another SC 300 thats a 5spd? Or actually just an SC so maybe i'll swap the trannys or something.

Thanks

I dunno if you have said so on another thread, but when was the accident and what happened? Sorry to hear it man. Only 5 months with an SC is definately not enough

i was getting on the skullkil (sp) in philly (its a highway) and traffic was stopped or barely moving......and so i slowly merged in when the car behind me (getting on) didn't look forward but only to the side to c if he could get in quickly railed me at like 40 miles an hour.......my gf and i were ok but evidently the car isn't.

Hopefully i'll snap a few pics sometime this week. I'm heartbroken right now.

well i settled w/ the insurance co. I got a decent amount and i'm getting the lex....

not sure what i'm doing w/ it though. I might put it on ebay, part it out, or sell it to angel or another person.

Pics still coming when i get a digi.

glad you weren't injured in the accident-if you part it out and have a black interior, i'll take that from you.
