Garage
I t-boned a guy that made an illegal left turn, I was in my Toyota truck. I loved that truck and didn't want to give it up. Insurance totaled it (repairs exceeded 80% of it's current value), I told them I wanted to keep it. They would have given me $6,600, I bought it back for $600.

Still have my baby and got $6,000. I've slowly gotten parts (hood, frt rt fender, bumper, radiator etc.). Best choice I ever made. Look in my garage link on the left and pull up my VW, you'll see my white Toyota truck in the background..

Weigh your option to buy the car back. If someone on here wants it bad enough, ask the insurance company how much they need to buy it back and see if you can resell it for more...I bet you can. You have a nice car there with A LOT of parts! I would put it back on the road.

Good Luck in whatever you decide.
