Default My car accident... how much does it worth now?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/64813/cover.jpg"></center><p>I had a car accident on a highway last Oct. This car is declared "TOTALLED" by GEICO. How much money do you think that I can get off this car if I sell it?

Car's Condition: After the car had an impact at the accident, the engine stopped. However, I was able to restart the car and drove the car to the side of the street. Air bags were NOT deployed. During the accident, I was able to maneuver the car around to avoid the front impact, but the front right scratched off the highway divider.

Right side of the car hit another car's bumper, but nothing else was broken on the left and rear. Interior condition: I just replaced the odometer and center music console few months before the accident. I still have the radio code and receipt for the music console.

For more detail, please see (Just click on "Viewslideshow"): http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=12agwfrh.a3p1dq5h&amp;x=0&amp;y=ulbxm4<ul> <li><a href="http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=12agwfrh.a3p1dq5h&amp;x=0&amp;y=ulbxm4">ht tp://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=12agwfrh.a3p1dq5h&amp;x=0&amp;y=ulbxm4</a</li></ul>

Default if you have the time... start tearing it apart.. and throw out the banged up parts

and start documenting and organizing the good parts to sell. You could do fairly well if you have the time.

If you are just looking for someone to take it.. oh.. 500$

On that topic... see his wheels, does anyone have a spare centre cap (unpainted) they'd be willing to part with?

Default RS4 grille, steering wheel + airbag, wheels + tires, radio, speakers, etc.

if it's non-bose, I'll take the rear speakers!

Default I agree that unless you start parting it out the car as a whole is not

worth much. I bet the frame is bent so that raises a red flag right away....

Those look like the 16" sport wheels which I use as my winter wheels. I have 4 unpainted I'd be willing to part with. Let me know.

Default they may try to bang you on the buy back.... If it was fully insured...

they wanted to give me like $650 less if I kept mine.
So I switched over what I could and took what I could and let the fvckers take it... I fel bad if anyone tries to fix that thing!

Default That's a good idea.

Those junk yard suckers usually give an estimates over the phone. They don't look at the car first.
