Are you okay?

How long did you have it? How'd it happen?

You say the engine is ????ed, I guess it was a front ender.

Make sure you don't get the short end of the stick in the settlement. There's a thread about how to negotiate w/ the Insurance company. You DON'T have to take their first offer and it may be better for you to get it (pre-salvaged title) and part out, versus just taking a check. I think there's a thread discussing this especially if the damage isn't structural.

Good luck regardless.

You should try to sell as many parts from it as possible...then junk the rest of the car. Granted you can't get the full value of the car but you'd be surprised at how much you can easily make from parts.

I think you will be able to recover a decent amount by parting it out...

I have a 90Q that is approaching the end, and I will do it...I am sorry to hear about your misfortune.

If her airbag depolyed, the insurance company can recover all the diagnostics of the last 5 seconds of her car, before the accident, including acceleration, speed, braking, etc.

It may costo some money, but cars don't lie, and if she was speeding, you might win.

Sorry to hear about the car.

I love my '94, and hope I have it for a long time to come.

I know it will be a while.But we can make it happen great cars will be on the BST boards.In the last few months we have seen soem awesome Q's for sale.

And I know a couple of members will likely sell some well- maintained Q's in the next few months.

Sorry for your loss. Good to know that your OK. I am interested on the Finish Panel on the Trunk Lid, where the back up lights are, if your selling parts. Let me know.

Saddened ... :(

As long as you are physically okay, that is what matter ultimately!

Hope you get into another Q real soon.
