Sorry man. Hope the process at this point to get your replacement will be smooth and painless as possible. Glad you're OK and that the owner is taking responsibility. Sounds like some of the big hurdles are over with at least.
ya..... im looking for something newer that requires less work (lower mileage) all of these in my area are beat up and high mileage. im thinking a mazda 3 or 6 but i want a sportier car like a civic si or speed 3 or the like
Better start stripping stuff off of it. If you have an aftermarket stereo I'd take that out, you won't get much for it -- probably less in Texas. I regret not taking the plastic rear bumper guard off my first one.
A super clean all stock Spicy Orange MSP in Dallas with 37K MILES just sold for $7k, you should get an MSP. With some bolt-ons there isn't a naturally aspirated Civic SI out there that could keep up.
