Say for example you remove the aftermarket radio, etc. I would be interested in that radio surround you have. Plus a couple cupholders, etc.
Stuff like that you could make some jingle on for yourself, just a thought.

I should have posted about this earlier.
I'm not gonna be buying the car back from insurance. We still had some payments left on it so I want the value they quote to be as high as possible.
That said, we did take off of the car a few things they wouldn't notice, like hubcaps, back shelf, emblems etc. I was going to post a sale thread on the forum, but I haven't gotten the free time yet to take pics and write it up.
I can't get anything else off the car at this point, as it is at the insurance company's claim center lot.
And yes, it appeared at the scene that both cars were totalled. I know mine will be deemed so because I tried to put it in park after the crash, but the gear selector lever was tilted about 45 degrees from the vertical, meaning the engine shifting had rotated and torqued the tranny. We haven't heard an official word from insurance yet. They just keep calling with little questions like "when did you buy the car" and "what was its last known mileage".
