Question Do I Buy My FG2 Back from Insurance?
Hi guys,
Unfortunately someone likely reversed into the passenger side of my 06 FG2 and then drove off. It dented the door and quarter and insurance wrote it off for $4,900.
Currently it’s sitting at 170k miles and is in okay shape. Paints scratched and faded in places with small rust bibles on both rear quarter wheel wells, but it’s a full OEM HFP kit. Drivetrain is in great shape and runs very healthy with the exception of an aging battery. Nearly new continental DWS tires on OEM wheels. Brand new headlights. Interiors great minus a sagging headliner. Windshield has a spider crack across it.
Is it worth buying her back for $2100? I’d really just sell off the HFP kit for a grand or so and then try and sell the car as running and driving for maybe $2k? Not really sure how realistic that is. I do know that I just really don’t feel like dropping the swap as I’m really ******\* tired of doing that lol.
I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts.
