Another SC Possibly Down :\
#19
Mole, our cars are pretty "old" and insurance adjusters like to write them off as total losses. If they do this to you fight for the MAX allowed for your car ..l. then try to recover by going out and buying a replacement. If they total her remember her the way she was .. then move on. Hopefully you will be able to find another that will (at least) partially fills the void left by losing her.
Whatever you do ... do not leave the forums!

EDIT : i read your second post. With the fan shroud destoryed and wheel damage etc. its going to be a total loss. Sorry dude.
On a side note, Dont take any offanse but can i please switch over my 97+ rear bumper, side skirts and door moldings with your 97+ parts. Mine are in worse condition then yours (minor scratches). Hell i will even pay you some money for them and do all the work swapping them. Plus since both our cars are white the insurance collector will never know. Of course this is after they declare it a total loss and declare the amount they will pay but before they pick it up. I'll get some nicer body panels and you'll get a little extra cash.
p.s. if you actually align your side mirrors correctly. That is as soon as the car leaves the rear mirror, it enters the side mirror. You dont need those secondary mirrors since your only blind sport will be right next to your door and you can easily turn your head to check on it.

I know how to use those smaller mirrors to my advantage in driving and especially in parking.
As with the rest of your inquiry my calm response is that it may be too troublesome for me, but I'll let you know.

I've done this 3 times now so i am really efficient at it.
Then the guy will come to pick up the car and they will take it. They'll never know and wont care about the body panels since the check will already be sent to you. So you'll get a little bit extra over what you would get just letting them take the car.

^ good to see that you're telling him what to do...
maybe he was just being nice, but MAYBE he doesn't actually want to give\sell you the parts.
hope to see a new Sc in your hands, theMole!

Thanks but I know how the process goes already. When I say troublesome I am talking about the time needed to meet up and swap the parts out. Like I said, I'll let you know...

I just want to finally be able to wash my car and be proud instead of keeping it dirty so it doesn't reveal the flaws

the car is not totaled. based on what you say the ab passenger side sensor has been severed or crushed. they run under the front l and r fenders. whoever said the frame was tweeked is wrong just by looking at the pics. it will be appraised at a ridiculous price though, cause it lexus oem parts going on their with lexus labor=/ by looking at the pics front assembly reinforcement is bent, front right fender toast, hub assembly toast with control arms, steering components questionably repairable, boots toasted, alignment toast, shock might be toast, foglight is toast. cruise control will be out of whack, marker light cracked maybe, front sway bar will be shifted. fan shroud is nothing and if your radiator is not leaking your alittle better, they actually make f1 fenders for this car now, your hood is fine. it just comes down to your blue book and part searching..
