'96 850 Turbo Totaled !?!?

Post by HoldenS6 »

Greetings, Before I decide to buyback my 96 850 T w/@93K on it I am looking for some opinions regarding the worth of the car / parts. My car was hit on the drivers side rear ( just caught the rear ). The impact took the rear bumber / cover off the car and tweaked it from the 'c' pillar back towards the passengers side ... enough to total it. I will post pictures of the car if I decide to part it out or sell it as is. One estimate to fix it was around $4000 ( from a reputable shop ). The car has been well maintained at European Car Service in Northboro, Ma. Let me know what you think.

That probably would be totaled
if the Q panel is "tweaked", this requires putting the car on a frame machine and pulling it out.
A picture or two of the damage would be helpful to make a determination
