    What do I do? Salvaged car in CA?? Insurance company never sent paperwork...

    multi-quote is giving me issues so I'll just post a reply to you all. Thanks for the replies and sorry for the delay. I had a close family memeber pass on new years and it's been hell dealing with that, and all that has to be taken care of afterward. atmperformance - I'll perhaps call my...

    What do I do? Salvaged car in CA?? Insurance company never sent paperwork...

    As some may have read, my car was 'totaled' by a dent to the hatch and rear light section, leaving it driveable but according to the insurance agent, a salvaged vehicle. I have a problem (sort of) though, nobody sent me paperwork to do or a notice to get the car inspected (lights, etc...) That...

    My supra (and first car) has been deemed a total loss, should I keep it for later?

    Lol!! I didn't notice that autocorrect turned calling into baking! That's actually quite funny because I live in Humboldt County California. I don't smoke, but still funny

    My supra (and first car) has been deemed a total loss, should I keep it for later?

    ok everyone, I think I've reached a decision that I am going to take $3400 and keep my car as a non-op. If I decide to I can sell it later and I believe I can get more than 300 if it comes to that. Do you guys think that's a sound decision?

    I cant easily quote since I'm on my phone but thank you all for your advice! I just got the call and they only want 300 for the car, so I'd still get 3400 which is still great for this car if I were to sell it. I have a tough decision to make. It does hold sentimental value but I'm not sure...

    My supra (and first car) has been deemed a total loss, should I keep it for later?

    weird, that's interesting. Hopefully the value they throw at me tomorrow is REALLLY low. Is it hard and/or worthwhile to sell a car for parts? I thought since this car's had a complicated past and may not (likely won't) smog, I could keep it for a few hundred, then sell it privately for parts...

    whaaaat? why did they want so much?? I don't know if I should value the rims either, they're Italian Gotti 55C's but I can't tell if they're worth much or would be sought after. They look rather dated and at least one has a bend that needs repair on the inside lip.

    My supra (and first car) has been deemed a total loss, should I keep it for later?

    I guess I could, I would like a good supra someday. I suppose knowing that this one will only cost me $300 give or take to keep, makes it difficult to let go.

    My supra (and first car) has been deemed a total loss, should I keep it for later?

    There are trips I'd like to make where 45mpg would double my range, and in two years save me about $900, give or take. In my position that's a good chunk of change blown just on gas, sadly. I was getting 22mpg on long highway trips with my supra so I'm confident a well tuned N/A or turbo...

    My supra (and first car) has been deemed a total loss, should I keep it for later?

    Aww that's a bummer. Was it your first car? That's a bit of the problem for me that I'm struggling with. I've heard quite a few "I wish I didn't get rid of my first car" stories but I don't know how I'll feel later. It is after all just a car, but it's got lots of memories tied up in it...

    My supra (and first car) has been deemed a total loss, should I keep it for later?

    I've looked at some others, the problem is I've learned it's not a cheap car to own, maintain, and fuel. I thought it would rock to have a 2jz swapped car that has a newer engine and fresher parts, but that's out of my budget. I figure I can throw together 5-6k on the high end if I save for a...

    My supra (and first car) has been deemed a total loss, should I keep it for later?

    I'm at a crossroads with my supra, it just had some cosmetic damage from a wreck and I have to choose whether to keep it as a salvage title, or sell it and part ways with it. I've had it seven or eight years and it's been faithful and a great learning tool that taught me a lot. I've done the...

    Trying to get a title for a car in California without much help from the owner?

    I'm trying to get a car that's neglected and abandoned by it's owner in the owner's wooded property. It's going to need to be on a trailer 240 miles back to my home. Both locations are in California, where the car will be registered non-op, but I'm currently unsure of it's registration status...
