Picantorian Neutral Newbie March 19, 2006 Share March 19, 2006 Since you love it so much and still could be repaired, why would you want to sell it? because it ain't perfect anymore? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool_jazz Neutral Newbie March 19, 2006 Share March 19, 2006 Sell car = lose money. And in this market, = lose big time. If structural safety and engine still ok, just replace the bonnet, headlights, bumper and radiator. That's why we have crumple zones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Clutched March 20, 2006 Share March 20, 2006 your repair could cost you around $5-8k i guess, includes bumper, radiator, headlamps, bonnet + respray. selling the car gonna cost you more, brother! btw, i had a similar accident about 3 years ago, still driving my baby since... no problems so far too, gonna keep for a few more years.

Toyotaman Neutral Newbie March 20, 2006 Share March 20, 2006 Last week just kena chain collision- also thought about selling. Then I remembered selling conti will lose big-time. My mileage is already about 85,000km, and the COE is much lower than 3 years ago. Then I decided to add $2K to get a body kit, get a refreshed look and keep it another few more years.
