[jdm4lyf9]

Mazdaspeed 3 time now

[miss_steele_msp]

Or an 06 wrx. they look and sound great.

[jersey_emt]

Another one bites the dust.

You have plenty of nice vehicles to choose from right now.

[CitizenPro]

Blazin's are fading fast, i need to be safe with my baby.

Sorry for your loss.

[kamon8404]

Sorry to hear about that. So this leaves us with the next step. What will you be getting next? Staying in the mazda family? Another MSP?

wow.. that really sucks, espically since it looks just like a big fender-bender from the outside :(

totaling a car for $2200 is pretty low imo for at least a $10,000 car. I guess at least this way you get a fairly big check.



a cavalier got in my way.

coulda been worse at least.. coulda been an Aveo, accent.. or a crx..

[4GIVEN]

If your looking for another MSP let me know, im selling mine. Its laser blue and has 42k. Sorry to hear you lost your car.

[MrDiggler]

Yeah, that sucks. I'd be surprised if someone doesn't repair it and get it back on the road though. You can do things a lot cheaper than what adjusters estimate for. We've scrounged up almost all the needed parts and sheet metal to fix my wrecked 323 GTX for about 15% of the original estimate. Gotta love Pull-a-part, lol.

i wanted them to total it. i was happy.

im getting a check for 15,200 and i dont even owe that much.


im lookin at an acura TL. or a acura tsx

[MSpeed2397]

Damn, you made out REAL well...

[vcinsanity1523]

Blazin's are fading fast, i need to be safe with my baby.

Sorry for your loss.


seriously sorry again bro

[Earful]

Doesnt look like a total at all! But....I am not in the insurance business. Sorry to see the Blazin' go....you will miss it if you get an Acura.

[vcinsanity1523]

Both are nice cars but the TL IMO has WAY to much torque steer and the TSX is very ballance and has an amazing 6 speed manual i would probably go with the TSX if it was me even though its not as fast its an extremely balanced and fun to drive car

[kamon8404]

15,200. Nice! Well I would have to say that I would be going the AWD car route. But, I have driven a TSX and it was a nice ride. I would pick one up if I could afford it and it was what I was looking for. Great choice, Acura is quality.

[bullitzx2]

Doesnt look like a total at all!

he said the rails would need to be fixed and most people and dealers dont want to touch a car that has to have a new frame under it. big pain and costly. but that doesnt mean somebody would fix it. but the fram is usually what will total a car unless the exterior/motor damage is very extensive.

[JDM Sam]

ask your insurance how much the buy back is and part out the car on the board if you want to make some money.

[jeg0024]

Dude, thats some bull shit right there, ive wrecked my car worse than that 2 times and its still better than ever.

[josh-wa]

ok... im buying the car back.


2900 was high bid. so now im getting a check for 12k and some change, and the car of course.


me and a body guy at work are gonna fix it and sell it.

[Brian MP5T]

Part it..

The engine alone could fetch a good penny as a rebuild block..

[jeffmsp]

just fix it and drive it. keep the extra cash.

[MSP032879]

that sucks, another bites the dust.

[II-Savy]

Wow it doesn't look that bad!
Check out my sig. Maybe you want a blue one.

[josh-wa]

its done. just needs the lower lip installed and the side skirts installed.

[iLisa]

how much?

[winty87]

Thats amazing that it was totalled out at 2200 worth of damage. From when my mom backed into the whoooole left side of my car and when i rear ended a Yukon Denali (brake failure) my car had 5000 worth of damage and my car at the moment is only worth 8k. The insurance said if it was another 500 dollars it would have been totalled out. Buuuut my car was fixed.

the turbo alone was quoted at 2200. the damage was 10,400.

and the turbo ended up being fine.

both rails were replaced firewall forward. engine was removed, dash was removed, carpet, seats EVERYTHING.

origannly we bought used parts from a member on this board but decided on all bran new mazda parts.

i got more pics of the teardown if u wanna see em i can post them.




aslo, hes lookin for quick sale of 10,500. it has 40,400 miles on it. NO MODS! BONE STOCK.

[Blake]

dammit and i needed the motor :-(

[josh-wa]

oh and BTW. i went cheap this time around. but when the srt-4 comes out i might do a little something with it. i got an 2007 dodge caliber sxt sport, fully loaded minus the AWD, and the 2.4 (i heard bad things about the AWD and the 2.4)

In PA when you wreck a car, and buy it back, the title will be changed to reconstructed. How does it work in VA? Does it have clear regular title?

[josh-wa]

yep. clean title.

they have a dmv guy/sheriff come out and inspect the car to make sure it was repaired correctly.

currently the car is off at alignment, its getting an oil change, and then tagged and insured and it is good to go.
