KBB has nothing to do with what you will get for them totaling your car.Set your sights a lot lower.

What do you mean by that? So then what is the market value of the car?

*bad news* The vr4 i was talking about has gone to be with the car gods. The owner gave it to a local junkyard this very morning (douche).

no no no integra, even if it has JDM one piece headlights or a k20.

You know you want a 240, vert, 14, 13, zenki/chuki its all good.The VR4 would be cool but I wouldn't buy another mitsu after my aunt had the trazillion problems with her galant.

if you ever want to sell those CDRL's.... I'll take them. but I vote 240.

are you speaking from experience? i dont know about that. idk about ur area but my s13 was just totaled this winter. i would have gotten $2950 to junk it, but i decided to reconstruct it and took the money minus the salvage value that comes out (about $300 in my case) and walked away w/ about $2600 to fix my car. that should give u an idea of what u'll get for it

^ dude he lives in new england, the KBB value here is **** basically because 95% of the cars here are completely on there last leg with cancer, and yet people try to sell them for more then twice what they are worth.

I was only going to get $200 for my V6 Hardbody by geico when it got hit by a F-150 who ran a red light. And it was in very good condition.

my first 89 coupe got hit in 2005 and was written off also. They only gave me about $1400. which wasn't too bad since I paid 2200 for it in 2001. and that happened in Brooklyn.

* So my car is fixed as of last night 2 o clock in the morning *

Insurance still hasnt paid nor called. Meh. So ive decided to keep my car for the time being, it runs like a dime and its an SE, I cant give that up. I kno someone who may be able to work miracles with my body damage for next to nothing.

So my new plan with the insurance money, coilovers!!!! a new clutch and custom exhaust with a hks muffler tip ftw.
