SOOBOUTLAW Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I've wrecked a car twice and cost me less than $200 to fix, but I sold it as a parts car for $50, but kept the most valuable goodies, mint taillight lenses, embalems(sp?) grille, headlight assembly, trim. Rare car now ('74 Celica GT, first year of GT in US.) I really liked that old car, reminded me of the '67-'69 Camero from the back window/trunk shape. Fun corner burner too. Like a mini muscle car. I even had Big n Little old school hotrod tires on Supra alloys. And a straight pipe from the downpipe back to before the rear axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwill Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Ok after the adjuster received the fabulous quote from Richie's shop about what he thought the car was worth, His insurance guru's said the total value of the car was 3,375.50 I was shocked because I paid only 1,200 for it. the buy out cost was 300.00 and they made me pay taxes because it was not yet titled in my name yet, oregon vs. washington tax of some sort. Well I still walked away with a check for 2790.00 Just thought you guys would like to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Wow, you scored big time. You got back twice what you paid for the car, you still have the car (right?) and it should be easy to fix. Just hope your feeling better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
