Default what a 1990 damaged worth?

Hey guys,

Some of you may know that I was hit by a uninsured driver. The insurance company is willing to fix the car or give me $8700 and my car back unfixed.
The pics have been posted in the general C4 discussion. The car is white with a red interior and glass top. Car was almost mint condition when hit with only 65k miles.
Car needs hood, everything in the front bumper including the bumper, and the front tips straightened. I don't know if I should have my baby fixed, sell as-is, or part it out. What are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Steve

take the $8,700 and the car and RUN! Don't walk, RUN!

$8,700 is probably more than you would get for the car once repaired as it would have "history" -

8700 is damn near market value, part it out, you likely have around $2000 in parts.

that sound pretty good i would take the 8.7K and the car and run
I did the same thing with my wreaked mustang they would only give me $1000 more if they kept the car I sold it to a guy for parts for 2K

I work for a major auto insurance company and you are getting a SCREAMING deal. I would take the money before that adjuster comes to his/her senses and/or their boss looks at what you are being offered.

As said, take the money and car. Sell the parts. I bet you have more than 2k in parts.

Insurance paid me $9000 and sold wrecked vette for $3000 as-is. I am very happy netting out $12k on a 1990 vette with 65k.
Thanks everyone!
