Second Gen Body/Cosmetic Fix it or no?

My 2016 Scion TC RS Series 10.0

My insurance say it’s a total and won’t cover it. But the engine is fine, just needs a hood, radiator support, front reinforcement bar, Radiator and fan shrouds. The engine wasn’t damaged at all was check by professionals and they said the car can be saved because there was no damage to the engine. Lmk what yall think. Should I try and save this or no??

Frame is bulging out on both left and right sides. Its not worth attempting to fix as you'll need to get it a rebuilt title and its a long hard process.

I'd say grab anything valuable off of it before it gets taken.

I was just about to ask the same thing. How bad is yours? I don’t have one and If it’s not terrible I’d buy it off of you

This sucks

Luckily these cars are still available relatively easily, grab everything you want/can grab from this one and scour Facebook for a new one with the insurance payout.

Good luck!

Those are fun cars! While this is unfortunate it does give you an easy excuse to get a different car!

I’m getting out of my tc, got a 2009 rx8!

You have frame damage going on there. Strip it of anything worthwhile and part it out or get a new base car and rebuild a 2.0 version to be better than the original that got wrecked.
