Last summer I was saving up for an frs or brz, hadn't decided yet, when someone rear ended me and totaled my car. I had to use all my savings to buy another car, and it was a rollercoaster of a time over the past 8 months, but I'm back on track to hopefully buy at the end of the summer!
Personally I think the story of what happened is kinda funny so I thought I'd share:
Driving to move in to my new apartment when I was rear ended. I drove an automatic Celica GT. I had just put a remanufactured engine in 6 months prior and it wasn't damaged in the accident, so I bought the car back from my insurance and took the little under $2,500 they gave me for the car. I found a very cheap manual Celica GTS with around 75k miles on it that looked like it had gone through hell and back, but I had an abundance of spare parts from my car that I was able to translate into it to turn the worst interior you've ever seen into the same as what I had before. The question then was what to do with the engine i had since I bought a GTS instead of GT. I decided to buy a GT with a blown engine for a little under a thousand and put the engine in and turn it around. Over the past 4-5 months I did just that, hung around scrap yards trying to fix any and every piece that wasn't up to par, and I'm now selling it. I've been able to save $4,000 since the accident, am counting at the very least $3,000 for the car I'm selling, and know for a fact I can sell my GTS for $3,000 or more, which would put me at a $10,000 down payment.
Its super exciting to have everything pan out again after the accident, and I can't wait to be back in it again! I don't know exactly what I'll even be buying yet, but it'll be fun getting to figure that out over the next couple of months!
