AZ-S2000 is on the right track, DONT GO BY NADA!!! thats what banks and dealers use for prices when they are buying a car KBB is what you would be paying.
Like I said DON'T cash or accept a check, tell them ok to 13 with keeping the car and even that is a little low.

The 52-year-old, widely-used Black Book guide is circulation controlled, restricted to dealers and financing sources. Unlike kbb.com and NADA.com, the Black Book Web site does not provide data, only links you to dealers. The Black Book is the only value guide issued weekly instead of monthly, reflecting the latest prices direct from actual or online automobile dealers.
Whereas other value books or value Web sites may break down value into WHOLESALE and RETAIL numbers or TRADE-IN, PRIVATE PARTY and RETAIL, Black Book truly specializes in WHOLESALE VALUE, determining the value of used cars within categories of EXTRA CLEAN, CLEAN, AVERAGE or ROUGH. Although the others also issue editions for special interest/classic/rare cars, the Black Book's Cars of Particular Interest (CPI) value guide contains over 14,000 vehicles, dating from 1946 to 2007.

I already found another S that I am looking into getting once I get my cash, I would love to buy it back, but not sure how long it will take to part out, I am moving by end of may, and any left over parts would just end up being left abandon.
if all goes well , ill just buy it back and start posting a massive part out in all the major forums. a motor with 77k miles should hopefully pay back what ever i spent on buying the car back

Voice of wisdom (aka experience). Take heed all ye young.
P.S.: OP, you never did explain how this happened.

Should you decide to buy back / part out, please PM me ASAP. Potentially interested in many parts.
Good luck, and glad you're ok.
Also, I'd take the $13,000 without hesitation, but that is just me.

They want 5000 to buy back car, and the rep said, they don't use KBB, they use edmunds.com. they are letting me hold onto the car/drive it till they have my check ready. I would like to buy the car back, but anything over 2500 they can go to hell

Is this for real? How did you manage to do this to a car from what would have been 20-30mph? Slamming on the brakes would have brought you to a stop.
So tires had grip....
autocross was in the near future but my main goal was to leave TX and head back to cali. willow springs and adams track
The track is a more dangerous place than the streets at 30mph. How did you manage to total a car like this? Tell us.
I'm not giving advice on the matter until the truth is known.

Once you get going with a new car, try some drivers schools and autocross.
Sorry for the loss.
