Angry what should i do? (moved over from classifieds)

Got into a lil wreck today, my hood is pretty much unfixable, bumper is still off of 75 somewhere, so car basically needs a front end excluding fenders, nothing got severely damaged but hood, bumper, bumper absorber and the thing it goes on, and fog lights need replaced. should i part it out or sell it as a whole?

2000 Trans Am WS6 165k on motor,6spd, rear end has 3.73s rebuilt back in october, tranny rebuilt in dec. of 07, ram hd clutch and ram billet flywheel still pretty fresh, pro 5.0 shifter, z06 wheels, hooker long tubes, lanes true duals, and thats pretty much it. Kind of confused on what to do, need some help.

well you can sell it but its not going to be worth very much with 165k miles and a wrecked front end. im guessing if you sold it as a whole and didnt part it out the most you could get would be 4-5k, and if you got a decent repair it would be around $7500.

so i guess if you have the space to part it out that would be the best way to make the most money

If you consider parting it out, i'll take the rearend, provided it is a 4 channel and in good shape.

Sorry to hear about your ride. That sucks!
