Hmmm, 5k for parts car wouldn't be too bad. The wheels are in decent shape, who knows about the motor, it could be down to 2 cylinders for all you know. Trans could be shot, clutch, rear end, you'd never know without buying it and ripping it apart. Too risky.

Good luck getting insurance on a vehicle with a salvage title.

If I had the money then I wouldn't have a problem paying $12K for the car and turning it into a track only warrior.

yeah that definately looks like the driver lost control and ran into a few things.

the chassis looks rough.

Agreed. I would part that X out too if I was the seller. Heck I'd take the HID's.

It looks like the driver lost control and swerved over a concrete divider taking the lower front out. You can see the exit damage on the lower passender rear door. Trunk is creased as well. Lots of damage overall to the car. Really should only be allowed as a parts car.

yea, im thinking it cruised right over a curb or divider, the bottom is messsed up real bad, once the frame and chasis gets damaged like that, its gonna be a tough fix...

haha someone probably already took the parts they could from it, apparently the "shift knob is missing"
