slid under a truck. Need a hood, lights, grille, probably a radiator and other parts. I'm not sure how many of the parts are damaged or can be used (looks like mounting tabs and things of that nature would prevent me from using certain things like the headlights

) I'm going to rent a truck and remove my stereo and rims (its sitting in a tow yard until the insurance company can take a look at it) I'll put up pics later and see what you guys think.

Insurance will most likely total it. If they do, take the money you get from the insurance and get another Mark.

If they do total it see if you can buy it back, then go buy another one. That way you have a parts car.

This is why the bone yards are full of Marks. The insurance totals them when they get a claim on them. They are too expensive to repair.

some pics, crappy but you can see the damage (btw, yes the wheels are on backwards, they weren't on the car at the time of the crash so they had nothing to do with it!)

I have some parts that you can have for free, just pay shipping. And one part that I need to be paid for. I have a radiator, two fenders, that you can have. And I have the plastic filler that the lights go in, brand new. $100.00 shipped. Got it from Max. Paid $185.00.Let me know.

The damage is quite extensive. Definately going to be a total loss. You'll make more money parting it out for sure.

now this isnt quite as bad as yours but it probably isnt that terrible to fix... maybe this can motivate you

Do I have to teach you how to drive...

This sux Dave... Well hope you get good money for it.

Posted by: Roadboss

Good thing you got rid of the twin turbo's and inter-coolers.

Posted by: chickenviii

ouch!! that sux, its sad to say it but i bet its totaled, unless it has like 5 miles on it, when that stupid salesman backed over my car (slammed with bad compressor) it needed a fender, hood, 1 headlight, and a headerpanel, and the hood was around 3k!!!! if it needed to be replaced it would of totaled my car, luckily my body guy was able to straighten it out (just had a small wrinkle in the corner)
