I have a friend who has been working on putting his car back together after it got hit and it is really a difficult process. He works at a body shop and he still is having trouble getting the project done. It is just so hard these days to find all the right parts that even the pros have problems putting cars like that back together. If it was my car I'd take the payout and see what the remaining value was. If the insurance company put a low figure on it I'd buy it back for parts and then sell the parts but I don't think I'd have the energy to rebuild it. You might be in a different place and perhaps you want to take on a project. You'll just have to think it over.


True: after waiting god knows the time to fix it; you'll be spending More time looking in the rear view mirror while driving it, then on the road ahead. Kinda like if your house is ever burglarized. You never feel "100% safe" in it again, no matter what. Cash out quick, go shop for another. Seems to be a good time for buyer these days.
