I got in a car accident....
Yeah, to fill you all in, it was my fault, I was lost, and was trying to read road signs, traffic stopped, and I didnt notice quick enough. The accident barely injured the other car (just a new bumper will fix the chrysler sebring). My car took it hard. My Honda's bumper was below the chrysler's and all the damage was above the bumper. My radiator, condenser (A/C), supports, hood, one fender, one headlight, a few other things got damaged. Oh yeah, the car is a 92 accord LX. 140,000 miles. Engine still runs great, the car can drive around. I took it to my friends bodyshop, and the guy said it might be around 2200 to fix it. I was at a junkyard today, and saw many of the pieces I need, so that can save me some, but the frame and the labor will cost some, not sure how much.
I have a few choices. Repair it outta pocket, repair it with insurance (1000 deductable and will raise premium I am sure), or buy a new car and part out the Accord (how much you think I can get parting it out?). Just looking for advice. And if anyone knows of a 92 or 93 Accord that just needs an engine, please tell me. Thanks for reading.
