just part it out and keep what you want to put into your next lude, depending the year and gen you get of'course.
or
you could get just a junker and drop your motor,tranny etc.. you know and save some money,

Well try to get some pics. You never know it might be just as cheap to fix it then buy another one.

sucks bro, very sorry to hear! People make back decent change for parting everything out, so you should definitely be able to get some $$ for the next ride.
... did you swap info with her?

sad to hear. when i totalled an integra i had, i just took the insurance money since it was easier than parting it out. i actually ended up getting more money from insurance than i paid for the car used lol

when i totaled my jetta i sold it to a VW repair shop for a couple hundred so that was a good start on gettin my lude. but wouldn't the law say its her fault sinceher license is expired?

o, i missed the part where her license is expired.....you can probably sue her for a new car/damages

look in the paper, i know theres companies who will give you atleast 500 dollars for any car because of the scrap metal, you could probably sell the engine then sell the shell for the 500 and make a nice amount from it, see whatcha can do, maybe you can even help out a few guys on here by parting out some stuff!

Scrap metal from cars isnt worth that much. You wont get 500 from a junkyard for a little car like this. The price for scrap cars, around here anyway, is $9 per 100 lbs., which is high compared to a few years ago when it was around $4/100 lbs. Example: I took a 1980 Cutlass to the junkyard, it weighed 3220 lb and I got $289 for it. Lude doesnt weigh that much = not worth $500. For 500 they must do something else with the car. So if you can get 500 for it then go for it.
