BZBZZZ down ... but not for the count!

[tom4bren]

so you get your vx back (salvage title i assume but who cares if you are keeping it) plus $6700? that seems pretty good to me could have been much worse - i hope you can get it fixed cheaper than that so you can have a little (well deserved) pain and suffering money

No, no salvage title. Even though the insurance company totalled it, the title will not show anything IRT the accident. CARFAX on the other hand will be all over it (2 major accidents now).

Sorry to hear Tom but at least that explanation makes better sense. As EC says it really only matters if you plan to keep BZBZZZ forever anyway.

Best of luck for a speedy repair!

I do plan on keeping it forever so the diminished value didn't play into the decision.

I ordered the parts today:

Hood
Left front fender
Front bumper cover
Left headlight
Airbag control module
Radiator
AC condensor
Steering box
Fan
Air box

They were pulling the right window regulator for me but found the cable busted.

AFAIK the vehicle was nearly complete (blown engine) with the exception of the parts I listed above and the front grill & front right fender, everything else is still there.

The vehicle is at Millerstown Auto Parts in Tarentum, PA (near Pittsburg).

Call Dane (724) 352-3900

You'll probably have to make your own shipping arrangements.

BTW, the last 4 of the VIN are 0724. It doesn't look like it was ever owned by a member of the forum.
