My car is in a river??????

I would definitely part it out. I'm sure in addition to the stock motor, little misc parts that you can get rid of cheap add up. Sell the ECU, any after market gauges you may have, I'm sure someone out there wouldn't mind having seats if they're in good shape and other interior panels. You can easily make the $300 back
 
Wait so aren't you losing a lot of money on this? The car was worth more than $1000 and then you have to pay the $300 to get it back. Best case scenario you make $2000. How much did you pay for the car? (if you don't miind)
 
Friends dont Let friends drive their DSM. :) Maybe the car commited suicide because of the tail lights? Just kidding bud.

That really does suck. Definitely part it out though. But wait until AFTER you get your new one...You never know what parts It is gonna need from this donor car.
 
Glad your buddy is ok. But a stock 97 Spyder with 100K miles is worth a little more than a grand... Trade in value in fair condition is a little over 4K and trade in values are lower than private party values... I'd have your buddy give you private party blue book and give him the title and let him part it out to make some of his money back.
 
I only paid $800 for the car.... I know it is worth 4-6 thousand dollars.... All together i got about 1100 in the car. My friend doesnt have any money and im lucky his momma is giving me the 1k. Im hoping for 2k left over after i pay the 300..... Maybe 1300 from parting it out is a lil excessive tho. I can hope. If i can get 2k ill be right back in the scene for another DSM. Not a convertible this time..... I need my AWD back. My last two DSM were both under a 1k and both had transmission "problems" that ending up being very easy and cheap to fix. I am sure if i wait patiently i will find a suitable replacement. Maybe even one with a bad engine for extra cheap, that way i can use my spyder engine.
 
Lol i put those stupid tail lights on yesterday... got them for 5 bucks at a garage sell and they were 1k times better then the old faded Euros that were on the car when i bought it!
Coincidence?

Seriously though, I'm glad everyone is OK.
 
I thought this was Mississippi River related... moving on! J/K

Glad he is okay. Not much of a friend to find this out from the cops. Maybe he was scared, understandable.
Metal can be found and remade, specific humans aren't. Glad no one got hurt!
 
Lol i knew id catch some shit for those tail lights.... LOL just didnt know the car would catch a tree!! Hahaha.... My friend came over and let me get a free shot before he turned himself in.... Sure made me feel better hahah.... He told me the cops came to talk to the "guy in the convertible" to see how he was still alive..... Mr. Officer "I dont know how you got in that wreck and only got a bloody mouth" My Friend..... "The bloody mouth wasnt from the wreck" LOLOLOL!!!!
 
Friend was beating on your car, driving fast top down and not wearing a seat belt, sorry he got what he deserved he is not dead im not going to beat around the bush, maybe he wont beat the shit and crash the next car you let him barrow. JUST SAYING
 
This doesnt even add up. You said the cops came to your house and you thought the car was outside. Then you found out your friend wrecked it and he didnt tell you or even tell you he was driving it? An no police report when the wreck happened or anything? I dont know about all that.....
 
Man, really sorry to see this. Glad your friends ok and you're not all bent out of shape though.

...for some reason, this reminds me of the ending of the ending of The Other Guys. "Don't shoot, I'm not a Moose! Why'd you shoot?" - "My Cars in a River! It's actually in a River!"

That's exactly what I was thinking....something isn't adding up here. Not saying bullshit on it all but something isn't right here.

I was asleep when they knocked so i was not completely aware. I had let my friend borrow it. I knew he had it, but no he didnt tell me wreck it. The police were at my car making there report, when they knocked on my door. I swear sometimes you people look into things to deep.

I did not say it was stolen.



ANYWAYS, here are some more pics!!!!
