thats what I was thinking, and why in the world have a 250 deduct on that thing?

your OP makes it sound like you didn't even know how what kind of insurance you had on it...parents pay it for you or something?

either way, a crashed car is sad :(

When you see your new insurance premium, then you'll REALLY be crying. (Or your father if you don't pay your own expenses.)

I was just going to post this. I wonder how much your premiums will increase because of this.

I just recently got a job after a while, so i will be paying for insurance
however i did not recieve a ticket regarding the accident, so as of right now, not sure about whats going to happen about premiums, If it does increase, obv im going to pay for it. So far there is no indication it will increase, the insurance agent didnt say anything in regards to it either.
so who knows

Why the crap did you have full coverage on a 93? You have probably paid for the car 3x over in insurance premiums.

my car's suggested retail is around $4085
the car is not a beater...it was in EXCELLENT shape, paint, mechanically sound
everything,

continue buying on hype.


the car was NOT worth $4k and insurance will NOT fix it.


i swear people go fucking stupid when they see a car is a Honda.

yeah I know your type. You have those shitty civics/accords that are 20 years old (your fathers, fathers car) you put some nasty grinder intake exhaust shit and you tailgate people driving in expensive lexus' and cut them off because they obey the speed limit.

then you try to race people when the light turns green but all you hear is a bunch of noise and your car doesn't go anywhere.

Airbags didn't go off? Wow I am sure they should have went off. I would have been pissed if my airbags didn't go off.

16 1993 honda accords recently completed on ebay, and of the cars that sold, none went for more than $2,600.

it may have been one of those cars with the wonky automatic seatbelts rather than airbags.

didnt accords have them standard by 93? hmm


EDIT
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Accord

For the 1992 and 1993 model years, the awkward motorized shoulder belt system were replaced with a standard driver-side airbag and conventional shoulder/seatbelt arrangement for all but the center rear passenger




yeap thought so!

well, if there was an airbag, and it did go off, it'd definitely have to be replaced. that'd be $1000 by itself. it there was one and it didn't go off but it was supposed to, that may be even more money.

car = totaled

I just run the retail value (if you sell this car on your own, not trade in) for 93 Accord EX with 191K miles (assume the OP is telling the truth..the car was in excellent conditions)

NADA = $4100
Kelly Blue Book = $4085

I claim all the OP's man cards. I need some to replace the ones I lost when I bought the new Madonna album.
