Some of you are way off on pricing and what you THINK the damage is.

how much damage do you think this is? The airbags did NOT deploy, and the head light was NOT damaged and re-used. The frame was NOT damaged, measured twice, and alignment numbers completely in spec to what i wanted afterwards (still got my 6 degrees of castor and -3.0 degrees of camber afterwards).





Just shy of $10k in damage.
both control arms, knuckle (snapped), spring, damper, swaybar endlink, bumper and fender replaced/painted, a few other repairs (door/rear quarter panel - paintless dent removal), and labor.

I'd say that damage is $6500+, and I think there might be frame damage... I'd buy it back for the $3k and part it out. With the money from the insurance to total it, and the profits from parting it out, you can easily buy a really nice clean title s2k and still have money left over.

Maybe offer them less? Of course, I doubt they are negotiable but I would offer to come pick it up for $2500.

I'd just be up front and steal all of their arguments "I understand if you are not allowed to negotiate and I am sure that you are just giving me the same price as offered by the scrap yard, but I would really appreciate you selling me the car at $2500. $3000 is a great deal but I am just looking to save a little money after this whole thing and every penny really helps me out..."

Or maybe even start at $2000...

Never know unless you try.
