that's what she said.

you can buy it when i'm ready to sell. i'm hoping to squeeze 262k out of it, but am not really holding onto that hope very tightly. it may be for sale sometime in 2010, but for now is reliable so i'm going to keep driving it.

Zing!!!!

I'd rather see you boost it anyways. I think i may need another Toyota to balance out the mix again.

My Miata was also a total. Never had a problem with it. Only way you can tell it's not quite right is it has a [replacement] driver's door with a power mirror, yet neither the car nor the passenger door is equipped for power mirrors.

+1

When i totalled my Miata, insurance gave me $10k (exactly what i owed) and said buyback was $800. I didn't have the cash which killed me considering the JR supercharger and other tasty bits still on the car...

So yeah, buy it back and drive it or sell it to someone here.

I'll be checking into the buy back tomorrow morning. If it really does come out to be that cheap I'll give it some more thought.

I would buy the car back from insurance and either part it out or re-sell it! I have bought back two cars from insurance after they were totaled and each time I got such a good deal I just couldn't pass it up! I made a few thousand dollars on each one after parting them out. The extra money you get from that could help a lot when you go to buy a new car...

or you could strike a deal with a GRM board member to cover the buy-back and give the car to them. you wouldn't be out any money, and someone here would get a cheap SVT Focus (since it sounds like you're not in a position to do something with it yourself).

I am interested.

i have no money right now, so i'm not in the running to get this car. i was just trying to get the wheels turning in the right direction for the OP.

I am buying the car back. Never realized it would be so cheap! Once I get the title back (it will be salvage) I'll go about selling or parting out. 80k svt for a cheap rally car anyone?

I saw one of these walking back from class yesterday too. If its an 03' that makes it 1 of 301. Or 1 of 300 now.

Sell it and make a little profit, get yourself the GTO of your dreams and everyone will be happy ;)

hahahaha, nitroracer, just noticed the new avatar. Nice.

Typical conversation between the wife and I

Me> Hay honey. I found a good deal on a really cool car.

Her> Does it run?

Me> It is Orange and has 6 speeds

Her> does it run?

Me> It is a GT, SVT, Pony 1965 Bla Bla Bla 426 hemi Bla Bla Bla.

Her> SO what car are you getting rid of?

Me> Silence

Me> It runs!!!

One of my wifes standard questions is usually "Where is it". I guess we have done enough Gainesville-PA-Gainesville type car fetching trips for her to know my tendencies.
