Should I keep or sell the Max
Should I keep or sell the Max
My story :
2008 Sep : bought my 96 GXE 5 speed with 210000 miles for $2000
Replaced clutch and shocks.
2009 Nov: water pump went out, "repaired" with a 04 10K miles 3.5 engine
with all new hoses, belts, gasket, seals, act clutch, nismo FPR, adapter plate, Pathfinder TB , now with tenosquare ecu yadayda...
I had so much fun doing multiple 300+ miles trip on a 200K+ miles car.
Running and dusting kids in their "race car" and such
To my best of luck it got rear ended 2 month ago at 240 mi, and the worst part is there are frame damage and granted a salvage title. There are No gap between the rear passenger door and quarter panel. Dent on bumper, trunk has a 0.75 inches gap on the left side. And GUESS WHAT the door still open and close like normal and the whole car drive like it has not been hit
Honestly you will not notice anything wrong from a distance other the dent on the bumper.
Now all 4 engine mounts are TOTALLY gone , all the shocks are blown, ball joints and bushings are out and they are due to be replaced. Bought all the parts for $600, lay them all on the floor and now I am asking myself If I should get down and fix it.
No to mention smog check is due and it will be about $300 to get that "take care of "
So it will be $900 if this cars to stay with me, yet the damage is bothering me.
While I don`t even know if anyone will spend more then a grand on a car with these kind of damage ............
Any insight?

sounds to me like your tryin to talk yourself out of it. if it runs that good and you know what needs fixin then good god man keep it. i wish i was mechanically inclined and had a garage to fix my max, id be in heaven as money is tight.
Wish I had a garage myself....Keep the car man. YOu cannot be serious if you are hoping to find something for $900 in perfect condition..

how much more life will you get for 900 if other parts are sound its prolly worth more to keep, try explaining the salvarge tittle! its not worth as much even tho its a BS reason people want a car w/salvage tittle for less
