if i buy it back from insurance if it turns out totalled... i probly wont part it out... it'll be completely restored... but the interior is gray, my cars auto, and the seats are black and gray.... probly wont part it out though ... any further educated guesses on damage expenses, totalled or not, etc. would be apprechiated
more than 50% of a car value in repairs equals a totaled car. Fron what I see the damage is not that bad...but the airbags are gonna be the real kicker. Do search on the value of your car and see. So unless the insurance wants to used used parts...you might stand a chance. But if the airbags are bought new from the dealer its gonna be close.

BTW if it is totaled...take of all your aftermarket parts...they should have no problem with that.
i looked the value up on kelly blue book.. its 6k flat... and if it totals.. ill take all my aftermarket off (including that expensive ass spoiler) and give the insurance the bone stock pile... i just hope if it is they'll give me at least 5k.... and if it isn't .. im goin cheap labor and cf hood, maybe gt-4 bumper... but everthing depends as of now >tongue.gif>

Here's a plan, if it's totalled and insurance is planning on giving you 5K,

buy MINE >smile.gif> - 4700$

then part out your Celica to the peeps here looking for parts then use it to pay for the 3S-GTE upgrade >smile.gif>
