Coupe Random Little Question Thread

Can anybody tell me if I should post this on a different thread? I'm trying to figure out how to go about my car that was recently totaled. I put in about 3k worth of mods in it (all which are still perfectly fine). Insurance offered 10k for the car. Which is ridiculous IMO. The car is an 07 laser red, ~80k miles, black interior, very well kept. I figured the car alone would be at least 13k cash w/o the mods. Any input is greatly appreciated guys.

G's are not that cheap, and are considered luxury cars unlike a civic. Mods are also cheap on the civic (or any honda for that matter) not so much for the G.
Oh hell yea they were in! I don't know what car circles you rolled with, but it definitely ain't the Fast n Furious crew
Think about it, if you buy back your original car that was totalled, you'd have a headache of dealing with a Salvage/Rebuilt title. Not worth it IMO.
Take the money and look around for the best G you can find, and don't rush it. Good luck mate.

Talk to the insurance company and see how to go about it. Then bring a few mechanically inclined friends to remove your parts.

BBT.... get an attorney.
They cost $, but only take 33% of something you wouldn't have had in the first place, and you end up in a better position.
Another option is to go to the insurance company and tell them you want an equal quality replacement for your vehicle.
either way it sucks to have to do it. You could also take the money, buy the car back and part it out then scrap the body for some more cash. If you are mechanically inclined that can definitely put some money into your pocket.

Not sure if it's an option, but if you could find a nice stock coupe, buy it with your own money, swap out all the parts you wanna keep, and then take the $10k from the insurance, you could have your cake and eat it too.
Adversely, you could post the aftermarket parts on Craigslist and sell them as a cash + trade for OEM stuff, and then swap em as you sell em to make some of your money back. This wouldn't be ideal, but could at least get you some extra cash on top.

I appreciate all of your replies!! Think I may go with an attorney and hope for the best. From the advice I received, will most likely try and get a decent coupe and swap everything over. Wish I could buy the new coupe, take those OEM parts and swap into the totaled vehicle. Only question is if the insurance company will let me do all of that.

I know those mods cost you some money, but I suggest to focus on looking for a clean G-coupe in the $10k range since you know that's what insurance will give you. You can always start fresh on the newer g35 and slowly add mods. You will always lose money on mods. I remember buying an $800 set of Enkei rims/tires for my Camry before. After I sold the Camry, I sold the wheels separately for a measely $300...
Of course get a lawyer if you want to pursue that route and get your parts back. It could take time and money, so plan accordingly. Good luck man!
