if you part it out let me know how much for the red

 

well said

 

ouch, i hate to see evos in that condition. As long as your wife was ok though.

 

wow good to hear your wife and your baby are ok but it does look like the car is totaled well gl wiht everything

 

must been a write off. get rid of it and get something with side airbags for your kids sake

 

my girlfriend got in a accident in my Z a few weeks back, she will never touch the evo, EVER!

 

get ready for merge

 

The insurance company ended up totaling the Evo, but they gave me pretty damn good money for it (more than I could have sold it for). I did not buy it back because they wanted too much for the salvage value to make it worthwhile (for me) to part out.

Anyway, I used the money to buy a 2010 GG GSR w/SSS.

Oh, and my beautiful little girl was born yesterday!!!

 

I'd buy it back regardless, and if its worth restoring, do it, then sell it and make lots of $$$. Sometimes, accidents, can be a blessing. I've talked with people who have totalled, bought it back for 2-5k, put 2-5k into it, and sold it for 5-8k over total cost spent. Add that with the insurance payout, it could be worht it.

 

congrats on both fronts

 

The cost to repair the car was $19k, not worth repairing considering they gave $27.1K for the loss. They wanted $6,500 to buy the car back; it just was not worth it on my end. It sucks because I put a lot of money in mods / install / tune into the car, but oh well.

 

Thanks Chris!! I'll be back to see you as soon as the wifey agrees to modding again.

 

It was said earlier in this thread... it is only a car. A piece of metal can always be replaced, and the lives inside it are way more important. The car did it's job by protecting your family, and for that I would be grateful. Whatever happens, good luck with it, glad everyone is okay.

Good luck with your next project

 

yeah it's a real shame the IX was just coming into it's own with the FP Red tune and bam this happens. I'm sure you're missing the power quite a bit, but how are you liking the X otherwise?

 

It's different, a little bit disappointing to be honest. However, I did not buy the car to keep it stock, so it is only a matter of time. The forced hiatus from modding is giving me a chance to really do my research and see what is needed for the X and what is not.

Cruise and a decent stereo are really nice though!!! The IX was starting to get a little annoying as a DD, so I want to make sure I have my new mods exactly the way I want to drive every single day (with a little auto-x thrown in). The upgraded turbo for the X is the big thing I am researching now, I needs mo' powah!!!.
