Question or a Situation?

I guess I bent my subframe but only by a little and i have two body shops looking at it to see if they can straighten it out. But the thing i have is that the car is in good shape a 95 240sx just hit 70K on it a few aftermarket parts. no body panels where damage. everything is fine except for when i slid into the 12 inch curb and busted my rims and bent the frame while tring to straighten the car out so i won't hit it. I was wondering what is the best route to go? pay to straighten the frame out or to sell the part off it, since it may be considered totaled? nothing looks bad on the car, good paint always waxed twice a month, really taken care of, but its just a shame to see it totaled for something so small. Thanks for all your help and ideas... Any Buyers?

Im no frame expert but if it hasnt bent the actual FRAME rails would it be possible to find a subframe off another S14 that's in the junkyard? This is of course if only the subframe needs replacing. I'm not very trusting of straightening a frame. As long as the frame and the subframe line up and fit snugly then I would think you'd be ok.
