95 SE totalled should I buy it back from the insurance company
My 95 pearl white SE was totalled recently and I am in the process of settling with the insurance company. The accident was not my fault so it is the other parties insurance company. I have done extensive research on values and I think I'm prepared to get a fair settlement.
Should I inquire about retaining the vehicle to use for parts?
What should I expect to pay for the car?
As I said it is a 95 SE with leather interior, duel electric seats, no mods, 199,000 miles and in good+ condition. Its got a lot of miles but most are highway with no passengers so its in better than good condition for its age...with the exception of the rearend damage it now has from the accident. It is not rebuildable. The damage twisted the body and frame making a rebuild expensive.
I also have a 96 pearl white SE and will like buy another Maxima to replace this one so the question should I try to keep this one for parts and possibly part it out?
thanks for your input.

If you are serious about parting the thing out, I say yes try to buy it back. Even at $1000, especially for a pearl white max, if there are a number of good conditions body panels left, or a good interior, or a good engine bay, you could make a tidy profit on it. Just depends how long you want to wait to turn your profit, because the stuff won't sell overnight, but if you are willing to taking the thing apart yourself and wait over a period of a month or two, you could probably sell most every good part on the car, and make well more than $1000 in doing so.

If the panels are jus misaligned then i wd say no. But a pic would def help.

Op,
If you have a place to store the car, then yeah keep.

As for the new guys question... motorcycle probably didnt bend the frame... but as cashoit said, a pic would help to be sure. the crash probably just screwed up the bumper support and trunk mount area... fixable but possibly costly as the rear end parts arent removable, you have to cut and weld or do patch jobs... well accept for the bumper and trunk of course...
