Hey guys!

I know this is quite unrelated to the registry, but I'm hoping to get some opinions.

I bought #378 last July and unfortunately was t-boned (low impact) a few weeks ago (passengers side rear door and clipped the quarter) but non the less, insurance is deeming it a total loss. I'm looking for opinions on what to do with the car and I hope i don't sound too naive, be easy on me I've never been in any kind of accident prior to this- do i buy it back salvage and part the car out? Do I try and find someone who is looking for a project car and can do the body work themselves? I'm having a hard time with the idea of just letting them have it because the car in literally in mint condition minus these new boo boos. Hopefully some of you will have some insight for me!

 

Sent you a PM. Do NOT accept the insurance company's valuation before we chat. (-:

 

I turned an initial $5400 offer from insurance to $11,500....and my 06 Spec B had 230k miles on it.

Something has to be wrong with it, a 50k mile, Spec.B. for $8k?

 

So back when the insurance company was giving me comps of Legacy Special Editions for my totaled '06 Spec B, I did a little research project.

 

I found all the 2006 Spec Bs for sale across the country, and called every owner.

 

Here are my notes on #89, which was available back in Late January when I was putting this all together.

 

Salvage title according to dealer; Flipped. Listed as "Track car only." Rebuilt car. Has no airbags. Has modifications -- running springs and gear, cat-back exhaust, solid roof - rebuilt with no sunroof; aftermarket rims. Engine is stock according to dealer. Car was the dealership owner's "toy" according to associate named Greg hence low miles). Call made to dealership 1/31/2018 at 9:50 AM - 802-425-5342

#361 is officially dead. :-(

 

Got rear-ended on the highway and pushed into a monster SUV. Totaled. Gone. I bought it new and ran it for 229,233K glorious miles. Super sad to see it go.

 

Just bought an 08 Spec B as a replacement. (-:

#361 has been, and remains in Gaithersburg, Maryland (was missing the state)

#361 is still mine....and still in Gaithersburg (not Silver Spring like the old listing....bought it there though) Lots of Highway miles - 71K strong! Still my favorite material possession of all time...by far.

Titanium Silver Metallic!

 

What's this Grey nonsense?!?
