Am I asking too much from my 07 Accord w/245K?
 

I have a 2007 Honda Accord that has about 245K on it.
I was in an accident and the insurance totaled it (3080 Damages) but they will not report it to the state so it will not have a salvage title on it.
They will let me keep it at at a salvage value buy back cost of 1129.00 dollars.
Frame is not bent.

It was hit in the rear but still runs.
I needs struts and I is consuming a little oil with a little rod knock in it.
Actually I am still driving is some.

Now it has about 245K on it.
If I keep and drive it I would have to do minimum body repair to the trunk lid and replace the crash bar
I would have to replace three worn struts.

Now should I take the cash and dump it or keep the car as ask for more miles out of it?

Thank you,

welcome to the forum. with a mild rod knock, drive the car till it dies you got a good price for it, great miles. then sell it to the junk yard for 250 or more, drive in gets more, or sell it to a young person as a 1st car.

Well I’d say the question is how well have you been doing oil and tranny changes
ive been doing 5000km oil changes and have 427000 km on car
bought car when it had 200000km
have also been Krown rust protection every year
