I'm curious, if you knew that you were going to keep the car for the long haul and knew a good body shop - how much would repairs like this cost?

If someone has the know-how, buy it for 5k, put about the same into it, and sell it for 15k.

Problem with this car is that it's so new, that their is no aftermarket yet and probably expensive to fix everything.

But to answer the original title, Nope...saw one totaled on my way from the dealership the second day they arrived here. It had a dealership plate on it, meaning ...it was totalled on a test drive!!! Ouch

Damage isn't that bad. If you can get it for cheap might be a worthwhile investment.

I'm guessing the body damage isnt that bad. Get a CF hood, new bumper, radiator, headlights, fender, rear bumper, etc... The problem here is how bad the suspension/frame damage is. If RRM or Accolade had those body parts it'd be cheaper.

A salvage title is issued for any car where costs of repairs exceeds 75% of the car's pre-damaged value.

if there were more aftermarket products out, it would be easier to repair.
