99 escort

My girlfriend has a 99 escort with around 82,000 miles on it and the car hydroplaned and went into the ditch. some front end damage and both airbags deployed.

So I was wondering should I try and part it out? or should I try to find another escort with a blown engine and put the old engine in it?
any imput would be greatly appreciated, and if anyone was interested in buying the car let me know.

located in Gloucester Va

Thanks,
Jesse

Well Jesse How bad is this damage?? You can replace those Airbags if you know what your doing...from a junk yard.....

But if you feel you can't do the repairs yourself...I would find other Escort same year or 2000, and put that Engine in it

Re: 99 escort

here's my suggestion, get wahtever you can for the car or sell the parts on it and go to GM or pretty much anything foreign. Oh, and never buy a Ford car ever again. they are cute and everything, but Ford cars are too poorly made. Ford knows it too but doesn't care.
