bad news!!! HELP

i crashed my car last thursday night into a pole and i figured hey i work for a body shop it'll be on the road in no time

guess what its 99% possiblitly that its totaled, the right side rail split all the way back
so the whole car would have to be pulled apart to fix, i'll find out tomorrow for sure if it is or not.

its killing me cause its my baby...and any1 who say it can be "replaced" never loved there car.

but at some point in time i have to face this fact and purchase a new car.

price not exceeding 25 thousand US. with the exception of the
RX-8... i might bite the bullet and swamp myself in debt for that beauty.

but i would love some options. it can be cheap cars to mod. or nice new cars...or in the middle, nice used cars to mod.

-Jason

Without having seen the car, its a write off.
Buy another pro?? Maybe an MP3 if you can find one used somewhere.

I love the audis, they're very cool cars. I hear the tranny's are somewhat weak though... Could be just a rumor, but you can chip those things like nothing and get about 40whp for around $500.

There's not going to be a coupe. Did you mean 5-door?

all of those cars are under 25 other than rx-8
i'll be getting around 6 grand back from my car, and i have a grand , and i can wait about a month so thats another grand

so a 8 grand down payment is pretty nice...

Sorry to hear about your loss

I would do what you said here.......

Get a 323 right now, play around with it and then just keep it once the 2003.5 MSP arrives......

Go and test drive the 2003 MSP before you do anything since the 2003.5 will be basically the same driving-wise.......

Good luck, and don't switch over to the 'evil' side hehehe
