So I've read a good bit on the salvage/rebuild options, but I haven't noticed much recent activity, and that could be an important consideration given low values on 2004's and the limited amount of damage that could lead to a car being totaled.
The background. Have an 04 red that someone rattle painted flat black. Bought it as a project that included a low compression extra engine. Replaced the shocks/springs, starter motor, plugs and coils, ame cold air intake, new tires. Have new rotors and brakes and braided lines ready to go on. Grinds going into third. The front and rear bumper covers are shot. I enjoy driving it, but am stalled on replacing the tranny and diff fluids because, well it's 80% done and no longer has the shiny newness I crave. And yes, I know that my meds aren't really working well.
So, behold. A yellow one that I could put all the good stuff on, and maybe part out the other one.
So... Any indications that the damage is more extensive than bodywork to this rear panel? What would the part out value of the car likely be just in case I never get around to fixing it?
And do those of you with yellow cars think you get more attention from the law? I once had a bad experience in the fourth grade where I got caught hiding from a teacher because I was wearing, you guessed, yellow, so I am a little hesitant about the car. Which, again, tells you all you need to know, cause it's the color, not the condition that makes me pause.
Thanks
