Hey guys, I just got in an accident yesterday and I dunno if this may be totaled or not.
I'm just so crushed right now I lost my Celica =( I'll probably never find one like it again. Hoping you guys can help me decide. I'm really hoping its not but be blunt, the insurance people aren't being the kindest people. but just gimme your guys' idea's.

Edit: Its on the front end thats damaged the back end is still mint =(

Damn Due! Hope your okay!! & your passager too!

As for the car, you need to check the frame. Insurance people will total it. I'm pretty sure of that. But they'll offer to let you keep it for a few hundred less payout.

If the frame; is good (Maybe, BC you have that crash bar in place) and most all your stuff is in good shape, it may be worth keeping. Obviously the bumper and both fenders are gone. Rip em off and throw em away. But if the frame is still in good shape; then you've got a fixable car myfriend!

Mine looked almost that bad when i bought it; and it gets prettyer everyday!

But if you do throw it away... Can i have your manual transmission and all parts associated so i can do a swap?

Haha, that seems to be the vulture mentality. Not picking on you d-man, everybody does it. I just can't help but notice that when someone totals their car, the inevitable outcome comes around.
