put it this way though.. you spend $7k and get some lucky breaks and get it fixed.. assuming you paid $16k you have theoretically bought a $23k car .. now only worth maybe $16k on sale time in the next 12 months (assuming you find a buyer). So that $7k is a worthless sunk cost..

Now if you can sell the car for about $9k for parts, that is your "break even" point... where you may as well screw the time / effort getting it fixed.. and just flog the parts. Anything above $9k for all the parts makes sense.. anything under $9k doesn't.

Do the maths.. think the costs.. and it should all make logical sense :cheers:

theres no need for keyboard warriors on these forums.

sorry to hear about the car, but as everyone has said, in future, dont buy a car without having full insurance. have the insurance ready and set up and have ureself covered as soon as u exit the car yard, persons driveway.

And if you were that tired you really shouldnt have been driving my friend.

at least u werent being an utter d&*khead sliding around corners or anything. (from what weve heard).

I had a mate that wrote off his Series 4 RX-7. He had it for 2 days and drove it as if he thought he had the car for 2 years and knew it like the back of his hands, i had no sympathy for him when he wrote it off the 2nd day, with me in the car cus he was driving like a mental going sideways every gear change in the wet. He too had no insurance, or only 3rd party or something

On a serious note bro.

A lot of people have suggested a few options to you. At the end of the day its your choice. If you really love that car and wanna keep it then fix it. But if it all comes down to money, do what will benefit you financially.

A wise man once said:

'You think that something is bad for you, but God knows its really good for you, and you may think something is good for you, but God knows its bad for you'.

Who knows, if you never had this accident, you could have had a worse one a few minutes later and could have lost your life. This accident could have been a means of stopping you from getting into something worse.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
