Dude sucks so bad about the accident..

I'd love to help you with a V6 manual, but they are usually found in automatics only, unless the owner did a custom conversion. If you want a V6 you'll hav eto settle with automatic. If you can settle for a 4cyl, then you can get a 5MT transmission.

Also, I think I have a power-steering reservoir for you if you need it. Just PM me.

Hey bro I feel your pain, this was my car about 4 months ago when I rear-ended an off-duty cop...it's a long story lol. I dont know if you're into the accord coupe front bumper swap, but this would be a great time to swap since the body shop is gonna replace the damaged hood and bumper. I made the mistake of not informing my bodyshop on time.

That's exactly what mine look like as u can see lol

Thanx Nikita, my fate lies in the hands of my insurance company, my body guy and the adjuster said a 98 with only 144K miles isn't bad at all and the value should still be reasonable. The only rust I have is above the wheel well but everthing else is good. If its not totalled I should have it back by next week fully fixed

I think it has more to do with how much it cost to repair the damages, if its over a certain percentage of what the car's resale value is then its considered totaled. That is what AAA explained to me. My car's air bags didnt deploy but it was considered totaled.

That's what they explained to me, if the repair cost is more than the value I can kiss my car goodbye, and if its totalled I might got the chance to by it back from them

I believe if the repair cost is more than 1/3 of what the resale value is, then its considered totaled. My insurance company paid me off pretty well, somehow the adjuster thought my car was worth $8500...I used that money to buy the car back, got it repaired, repainted, and still had some leftover money

That's my hope if they total it
