How much you still owe on the car?
If parting out, you can probably get 3 to 4k out of the car.

Brutal! Glad you are all okay. That thing is def. scrap. Hit like that surely bent the frame. You could sell the tail lights and trunk lid but not worth messing with trying to get much back from that.

I know this isn't related to your question..... but how fast were you going and what did you hit?
Just curious because that front end is seriously messed up. Always good to see that the car you own protected it's occupants sufficiently though in what appears to have been a pretty bad crash.

Looks to me like he either hit a tree, a pole or Chuck Norris.

You'll get an easy $3,000-$4,000.
Part it out! Sell me those tail lights if you don't mind! ;-)

I honestly don't remember what happened but I remember waking up to the crash. I was probably going 45 on a little street and hit a mercadez truck.Originally Posted by partyman66

since you only had liability, it might be best if you part it out, depending on local demand for parts, engine/transmission ,and compare to what you would get from salvage. you will come out ahead but how much is up to you.
I got it at a small dealer idk why they let me go on just liability but they said it was my responsibility to get full coverage on it. I'm in a ****ed up situation cause the bank still owns the title so I can't part it out or scrap itOriginally Posted by DeafBringer
Most likely a private loan with something else offered as collateral (if anything). since you only had liability, it might be best if you part it out, depending on local demand for parts, engine/transmission ,and compare to what you would get from salvage. you will come out ahead but how much is up to you.

Yeah I wish they wouldn't have let me go with just liability I'm in the worst scanerio everOriginally Posted by partyman66
I'm surprised you were able to get a loan on a vehicle without having full coverage. This is almost always a requirement since the Insurance companies don't want to end up in a situation where the car gets totaled and the owner decides to stop paying... then they have nothing to repossess in order to get back some of their money.
