Car was totaled

[rifleman56]

I put a new engine, front and rea suspension, new tires and breaks. Some lady rear ended my car and insurance wanted it totaled.
I look for a nice used car but all I found was high milage cars and they wanted 10k or more. I can buy back my car for 500 and the shop can fix it for 1400 instead of 5k. Im jot getting everything done but itll look nice. So I think it's worth it. Plus I'll have 2k bucks in my pocket.
You think it's worth it?

Hi rifleman56. My personal opinion, with the information provided: Yes, if you trust the shop to perform the necessary work properly.

I’m sure others will also jump in to help, so keep us updated and good luck.

Most definitely; they aren't making any more of these cars, and a couple extra bucks in your pocket to take care of other issues would be great.

That’s a no brainer. Buy it and fix it especially with a new engine.

It will likely get a salvage title. If you plan on keeping it, it doesn't matter.

But it back, have it fixed and pocket any extra money.

sorry for the late update. The car is fixed and looks great. I'm happy with it. Also my registration was up and I just paid for it. So no salvage title.
