All_talk Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Prepare yourself… they’re gonna total it. You might be able to negotiate an “owner repair” and avoid a branded title. Or fight for a good price and let them total it, then buy it back and use the extra cash to buy a new shell with a clean title and make one from the two. In any case it’s a big bummer, glad your ok though. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravelRX Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Estes j/y between C'burg and Floyd on Daniels Run road had a nice 87ish turbo wagon in there not too long ago. (no LSD BTW) Reed's Garage on 221 from Roanoke to Floyd deals with Subarus fairly consistantly, try him too. He might have a line on one. 540-929-4236. Part's Unlimited in Vinton, Va. had several Ea82 cars last I checked. I've got to go to the J/Y this week I'll look for you. Sorry to hear about your car.

85Sub4WD Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 would prefer parts in virginia They'll total it - been there twice with the same car! Hal's Parts and Service ( www.halspartsandservice.com ) is not in Virginia, but in Spara, NC so he's close. He runs a Soob-only service/parts place, and he is great to work with. Sorry to hear about it - amazing how much damage the Alero took from the impact - and I saw an ad from GM last night advertizing the safety of their cars Hope all goes well - trust me, you can do the repairs, soobs are easy to bolt/unbolt stuff on - been there. My mom obliterated some car that pulled out the wrong way on her when she was going 45mph, had to have front frame (mounting for headlights and other crap) cut off and another welded on. That was a pain (had to go to shop), but if you only have panels damaged, don't worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nug Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Wow man, that totally sucks. It was on the road for what? Two weeks? Bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 buy it back and fix it, or like they said find a good shell, but our cars are old enough that a branded title doesnt' do much to hurt it's value, I'm sure Mike could get $1500+ for his 87 GL with or without the branded title :-P It's when you have a 2001 Outback witha branded title that the value plummets...

scrapdaddytatum Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 sorry still no pics, frame damage for shure, got 1 no big deal, the insurance still hasnt looked at it, im still in limbo, driving a sentra rental crapper, told them give me 4wd, but oh well, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapdaddytatum Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 ok the rx wagon is dead, for the moment, the damage to the frame is way to intense to fix, need new chassis, gl-10 wagon with mint body if anyboady sees one, the cam gear was bent to hell, the timing belt trashed, and the covers cracked up, all on disty side of motor, all has been repaired and engine is fine, nothing besides the frame and engine was damaged, every small part was ok, rad, a/c, ect, all ok, but car is retired becouse of frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
