I totaled my 2004 E two weeks ago now :-(. 75k on it, major front end damage. Repairs would be 8,500, insurance declared it as a total loss.
I have 2 options
1) Have it rebuilt with the 9,000 dollar payout (11k-2k scrap value). It would take 30 days to rebuild, 8 weeks to retitle after the salvage title was issued>
2) Take the 11,000 and buy another element. Instant gratification.
I found a 2003 EX AWD with 127k on it listed for 6,999. I'd be able to use the leftovers to pay off some of our remodeling costs (wrecked the E on the way home from menards. we closed on our house august 7th) and put the rest away to save up for a newer E.
Advice?
