a 93 si is only worth 2100? damn, last year when i wrecked my 93 dx i got 6300 for it..... sorry man i donno what you can do, it's all up to the insurance company now.....

imported_gatherer

yeah that sucks .....

but it is a good example of why you check the black book value before buying an over priced honda.... in the black book hondas drop in price year over year at the same rate as over cars.....

my 93 CX cost me 2250, mind you it needed some work but hey at least I paid closer to market value for it

just tell them are you not going to claim any money from them to fix it and fix it yourself...but, if it's got some frame damage, you'll never have it back to it's original luster...once the frame is compromised, it's near impossible to return it to it's original form so, it's up to you. At any rate, you'll feel a distinct difference when driving hard if you do intend to fix the car...even tho you might have fixed it, the frame will never be the same. Depending on how much it will cost to fix, I'd keep it. Keep in mind that if in fact the frame is damaged, to have it pulled as close to original, it will take at least 300 bucks just to hook you up to the machine to pull it out...and addition money to spend time pulling it...so, you're expenses can easily turn into hundreds or thousands depending on the extent of it...might be simpler to cut the car in half and replace it with a junkyard frame...that's worse case senario mind you but, it's an opinion. If the damage if only cosmetic, I'd have it fixed...after market parts are cheap these days and might be worth your while to fix.

Cheers,
Buddah.

uh, that $2100 might be the low value......that means your car has......1. really high km's........2. body is in poor shape.......3. some options were not installed/removed.........4. a combo of any of the above.


ie.......a 93 hb (dx) auto....no air.......low $3750........high.....around $4800. (no mods done....all original)

They are trying to **** with you. Go talk to a lawer before you settle.
