My poor SI got smashed a couple of nights ago and I’m trying to figure out the smartest thing to do if it ends up being totaled. It was smashed in the back, passenger side panel- the wheel even snapped off😢. Side airbags were deployed.
It is a 2010 with almost 120,000 miles on it. No other body or mechanical issues, other than it started burning oil a little bit faster after 100,000 mile. If the frame is bent, I know that we won’t fix it. Does anyone know how much a totaled SI might be worth in that condition? Does anyone know what they’re worth with a salvaged title? Any ideas or input is appreciated. I’m so sad about the whole thing.

Thank you! Still waiting to find out what the adjuster says, but knowing that the side airbags deployed and the wheel actually snapped off- I’m sure it’s totaled. I’ve never totaled a car before, so it’s super scary and stressful 😢

Sorry to hear that. It is very scary but something that you can get through.

Someone will buy it with a salvage title just for he engine and trans to do a swap in another car. They could then part it out.

Check local prices for k20 engine and trans and maybe list for a little more then that.

If I was in your shoes I would buy back the car from insurance and do a part out. You can easily get s buyer for motor, trans , interior and spot other random parts here and there especially if you have a nice spot where you can leave the car sitting and be easily access to it then it would be easy for you to do a part out.


or

you can buy a roller civic or any other Honda that you can do a direct swap of your engine and transmission to then you can have a nice fun fast k swapped car.
