    It would be a good idea to at least inquire about the buy back price. At least you know what condition your car was before it got stolen so you know what parts are good.

    Well originally it was my plan to go with something different, wanted somethign bigger that can fit more than two people and would give me an easier time hauling boxes to and from the post office. I had wanted to go lease a Fit, but i like the new version they released in Japan so i wanted to wait for that. Saw too many trashed, civics and integras, and everything else i looked at was too high mileage.

    Anyways i probably wont be doing much with this one until i get secure parking or move to a better neighborhood. And i would swap over the entire engine, but the old Si motor had some wierd issues with the block and transmission so i figure swapping the head would be pretty safe. Also want all my interior panels cause those were practically brand new, along with the rear disc brakes, and my brand new ac system. Too bad i cant transfer the dynamat over to the new car [img]frown.gif[/img]

    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I would ask why not do the whole swap all together but the new sol is newer [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img] . Glad ta see that you're still tryin to stick with the club thomas. I was worried that you'd stray off to another tyoe of vehicle after the sol. Any chances you may get a little more serious with this sol????</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">

    Nope, they arent covering any of the aftermarket stuff unless i previously told them about it...all im getting in cash is 3k...so i think it would be worth it to buy the car back just for the interior pieces.

    I've learned that the car is going to be 'totaled' nowadays since the repair cost is usually more than the book value so I try to get the vehicle towed back to my house first and strip everything off before the insurance company claims it. All the yard wants is the frame with the VIN.
