So its deemed fixable by icbc (insurance) $7900 to fix. There is no frame or subframe damage, all cosmetic, except the rediator.
Im still selling it, its going to cost $5000 to insure the car now, going for something cheaper. But atleast it still has a clean title, not a rebuilt, so i will take a loss but not a huge loss.

damn man, sucks to hear that. Hopefully one day you'll be able to get another balt. May I suggest picking up a ecotec cavy to stay in the same "mod" area as you were?

better news, im going to keep the balt now. After some research on what cobalts go for with accidents on them, i would take a biig loss. So instead, im going to keep it and just not put collision on my insurance. Which means if im in an accident, and its my fault, then they dont pay to fix it. but if its not my fault then im covered.
Knocks my insurance down by $1600+, and since its only worth peanuts now to sell, its not a big deal if it doesnt have collision on it. So my cobalt gets a whole new repainted front end, which is great because the front end paint was all sand blasted from the previous owner so its going to be a brand new car onces its out!!!
