RedRum Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I had a white 97 Legacy GT. I just got a new car (saabaru) and sold my legacy to my brother. It was in my parents driveway and a tree fell on it. My brother had not yet registered and insured it so I don't think he can get any $$ for it. The tree hit the hood, damaged both fenders, and broke the windshield. It also could use a new bumper and grill. Where is the best place to get these kind of parts. Is it worth it or should I just junk it? The engine was running strong and the body was in great shape.

Check your parents homeowners insurance, that 'should' cover the damage. Also, no rate raise in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 If the tree that fell was on your parents' property, their homeowners might cover it. If it was a neighbor's tree, you can make a claim against their homeowners. As for parts, a wrecking yard is a good place to start. That's the best place to get original Subaru parts for cheap. You might also look around for a cheap donor car, especially one that has mechanical problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastwgn286 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 or post a wanted ad on here. i got a fender from a xrturbo a few weeks ago, looks great, and cheaper than a wrecking yard. he has plenty of legacys to part out, so shoot him a pm...

RedRum Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 I have put a post in the wanted section. I am a little afraid the tree might have hit the engine hard enough to damage engine mounts and stuff. I will find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86 BRAT Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Mines only a outback and is still worth about 7000.00 if you go by kelly blue book (http://www.kbb.com),so I think it's worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
