TW: Damaged 2006 Acura RSX
Hey all,
My friend wrecked her rsx. All I know is that there is one fender damaged, one headlight damaged, bumper is done, radiator is cracked but the car still drives fine. Anyone know how much the car would go for with frame damage? Without frame damage it would clearly be a car for parts or restoration. I believe it's black and a non s with the automatic transmission and around 120k miles.
Please chime in!
All opinions appreciated!

As is, she's thinking 2500.
Repaired without paint would be around 3500-4000 depending on how much I can repair for.
Ill get pics up this weekend. I was asked to swing by and take the pics myself....

well i had a 03 SI (basically the same car) and i traded it in a yr ago and they gave me 4K. it had ~120K miles manual and an k24a2 motor swap. so i would say with damage she is right in the ball park at $2500. repairs at a shop would be in the $3-4k range. less if you could do it yourself. RSX's are effing everywhere now so parts are cheap.
with frame damage it would be easier to just toss it and get another one.
these cars aren't worth a lot now a days and the people that want them want them only for the motor & transmission. (she has both no one wants, k20a3 and automatic)
So see what the insurance wants to do. then go from there.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to take the pics. I see slight damage near the headlight and fender area. I do apologize that there aren't better pics. I'll try and find some time once my schedule calms down a bit.
she must have hit someone/thing pretty hard. lol
looks to be salvageable though, if someone wants a good daily driver that can put up with the repairs. might be fairly extensive repair, as the radiator support and inner fender(? thing everything mounts to) is tweaked as well.
but someone will pick it up pretty quick if you sell it.
