Wrecked 05' 6spd - 11/9/2007 8:20:11 AM    EX056SPD   Posts: 22 Joined: 10/6/2007 Status: offline Alright so yesterday my girlfriend put an end to my Accord project by getting T-boned by a Ford Explorer. Chances are that the car will be totaled...it took a hard hit to the passenger rear quarter. If it is totaled i will be buying it back from the insurance company and parting it out. If you are intrested in anything from it let me know. The interior (black leather) is mint, all the glass, doors and front fenders are mint. it is a 3.0VTEC 6speed. 50,000 on motor and clutch and everything is in perfect running order. The rims are the stock 17's and 3 of them are fine and have fuzion zri's on them with plenty of life left in them. The right rear rim and tire are in pretty rough shape...if you want it you can have it at no extra charge but it is most likley no use to anyone. Again the only damage to the car is at the passenger rear tire / quater the rest of the car is showroom condition. please contact me if there is anything off the car that you would like. _____________________________ 2005 Accord EX Coupe 3.0 VTEC 6spd -AEM V2 -High Flow cat -Greddy gr2 Post #: 1

HMMM i wonder if she didnt spin if she would have made it??? lol. pics will be posted later today. _____________________________ 2005 Accord EX Coupe 3.0 VTEC 6spd -AEM V2 -High Flow cat -Greddy gr2 (in reply to sir_nasty) Post #: 4

RE: Wrecked 05' 6spd - 11/9/2007 12:10:56 PM    00AccordLX5spd Posts: 3797 Joined: 1/16/2007 Status: offline With my company, we get 5 or so salvage bids on a wrecked vehicle.  We will allow the insured to keep the car for the same amount as the highest bid.  It can be fairly unpredictable.  A rule of thumb with us is about 15% of the value of the vehicle.  Sometimes it is less, sometimes it is more. Many large insurance companies use salvage auction companies like Copart Salvage.  We don't use Copart as they have never gotten good returns for us.  If your company does use Copart, they will probably allow you to keep the vehicle for a certain percentage of the car's value.  Likely 10-15%.  < Message edited by 00AccordLX5spd -- 11/9/2007 12:11:23 PM > _____________________________ 2000 Accord LX Sedan F23A1 5spd -Short Shift Adapter -eBay SRI w/ K&N 1995 Accord V6 Sedan AT - AKA "the money pit" 1991 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible - my daily driver all through college - now sits in my dad''s garage - needs a little TLC (in reply to klrspz) Post #: 14
