my new car, lol.

i totalled my car recently:

before:

after:

new car:

hey, i had a minivan before my civic so i figure it's the best of both worlds. it has a 5 cylinder 2.3L turbo engine, of which i am very excited about. However, aftermarket support for volvos is proving to be pretty scarse, so any suggestions?

also, i know it looks like a grandpa's car, so im going to tint the windows asap.

my justification for getting this car:

quick
4 doors
$3000 dollars, (i got $6,500 back from insurence AFTER they paid off my 5k loan).
it's a volvo, it won't die any time soon.
i need a car to get me through college

your thoughts?

i think that is a good plan you did, now you can put the money away for college or after college and get a new car or save for a house

There is a volvo like that here in south florida. It is a drift car tho. It has a HUGE tubo on it, its completly gutted out, and its fast as hell. So you never know you might just have a diamond in the rough

What year is the volvo? Because Ford didn't acquire Volvo until 1999.

I don't get it. Isn't the point of insurance to get you back in the same situation you were in prior to the accident? You should get enough from your car to get another Civic of the same year and value.
