Wow, looking at the roof just shows how f'ed up that car really is. I say a good 7-9k in parts/paint. And even then its a salvage title :/

Some people its worth saving the extra 3-4k, but to me its not :/

Good find, makes me wonder what it hit, and well how fast it hit it

No way. It looks like every single panel has damage on it of some sort. Then the suspension looks damaged, and I'm certain the control arms are screwed. Replacing every panel, plus suspension components, plus other quirks we can't see, plus labor, plus repaint? $15k-20k altogether, imo.

After watching the repair shop fix my front end collision for 26k...i'd say this is in that nieghborhood or more...these just aren't worth fixing...

What are you guys talking about? The most it will cost to fix that car is around 8k MAX. These cars are usually bought by bodyshops or people who know a lot of bodyshop and have one at their home. You can save a lot of money fixing it yourself. Who would buy this and then bring it to a bodyshop for repair? There is no point doing that. This car can be fully fixed with knowledgable people for 5k.

Almost looks like my roommates Z. lol. He let his girlfriend drive it one night and they hit a wall going about 130. She was all f***ed up and he just had a couple scratches but the car is totalled and they only had it for three weeks. She has a huge scar on her face now from the accident and there was glass coming out of her face for like a month and a half. lol. Serves her right for getting behind the wheel of something she couldn't handle. Now she always talks smack about the 350 saying that the suspension is crappy. I just laugh at her and tell her to learn how to drive something that has more that 160 hp. lol. Anyways, I digress

Default hmm

What people should do with a deal like this, is have the forum come together and buy the wrecked car, and have it already parted out to individuals, all the money going into an escrow account till the car is bought...not for profit, just for the sake of parting out a piece of **** car...

You know, in order to total a car, the damage has to be 55% or more of the vehicle's value. If it were $8k damage, the car wouldn't have been totaled. The car is worth $27k, and fi the car is totaled, the damage certainly exceeded 55% of its value. That would pin it at over $14k. Once again, the work on that car is between $15k-20k.
