Poor Car

So, I went home for the weekend, and on my way back to the motor city, I was in an accident, and totaled my poor car :( It wasn't bad, and I wasn't hurt, except for a cut on my finger from pulling Keira out from her shattered cage. She didn't like the airbags going off, which was what defineatly totaled my car.

Traffic was slowed down for a previous accident, and going about 45 mph. The guy in front of the Chevy Blazer in front of me (or someone in front of him) slowed down suddenly, and since we were quite close I wasn't able to stop or swerve completely out of the way. The front right corner hit the back right of the Blazer. My car was just the right height that the Blazer's bumper hit square on the headlight/hood of my car crumpling it up, but didn't really appear to bend the frame much at all. However with the airbags going off (which I didn't need, since I didn't even hit them, my 1995 car doesn't stand a chance of not being totaled.

Now I've got to decide what to do. Do I get a nicer used car, lease a new one, or buy a 5-7k one?

Sorry to hear about your car, but it's good to hear that no one was hurt.

If I had to pick, I'd choose the 5-7k car. Or, probably I would pick out a 4-5 year old used car in the 7k-10k range.
