I would dump the SC like last weeks flavor... I wouldn't even think twice.

I would however, strip it to bare bones, since my mods are worth 2x the price of the car.

I'd dump my SC, then get either an IS300 or GS300.

...and prlly end up buying another SC later.

i love the sc too much to ever let one go. 5 days after my red 400 was totaled I got a black 300...

i had always wanted the sc with a manual tranny - kind of a blessing in disguise.

if that happened...i could first cry. then probably look for a manual one, or a newer sc400 wit vvti. or go look for my dream car, a 300zx. not sure what i would do and hopefully that never happens... knock on wood.

Peace out

After Weighing the options, I'd most likely look for a '98 - '00 SC400 with low miles that was clean, '05 - '07 6-Speed G35 Coupe, or ,if I could talk myself into another new car, maybe a IS250.

I would probably just keep the insurance money tho

if i totaled the car then i would probably get my next car sooner..2007 Cadillac CTS-V/ Mercedes C55 AMG. If i don't total the SC then i think i would get it repaired and then buy one of the 2 when i am ~ 21

I'd get one of the following:

A. 2000 Cinnabar Red SC400 with a black interior or black/tan combo interior
B. 1996 Platinum SC300 5spd with a black interior

But I really hope I don't crash my current SC, someday I plan to own two at the same time.

Tough call, guess it would depend how much the insurance company pays out and how many of the mods are salvagable.
