need advice

Hi: Don't know what to do about my 1995 Corolla. My teenage son drove it into a curb last week, destroying the axle, the rack and pinion and strut and A-arm. It will cost more than the car is worth to fix...near $5000/ Yet, my engine has only 118,000 original miles on it. It's a one owner car and I have taken very good care of it. I know the engine must be worth some money and the other parts as well, but I don't know how to go about selling it to someone to part out. Does anyone have any suggestions. I'm in the San Diego, California area. Thx.

If you don't feel like parting it out yourself then sell it up there for $500. Someone will buy it and fix it.

Time, Tools, And Money!!!

pfanner...it all comes down to Time and Money....

The parts need for the repair are affordable, paying the labor is costy...If you plan to do it yourself.....AIRTOOLS will save you!!!

A good place to get replacement parts: Fenders, Bumpers, Headlights and such....
