If it was just a flood what happened to the center console? I would stay away unless around 10k that way if all else fails you can part it out and break even.

If I'm correct I think they bought it for 8k or just a tiny bit above that, that is all I got from my research on the car

If you leave the doors and hatch open, and the car in the sun, it will dry out in a couple of days.

That is not always true. A body shop has to make money. They rape insurance company's. I see it all the time. also working in the trade I see the actual cost of materials used. Also in parts new or used. A Ridiculous mark up.




With all the right resources you can save a lot of money and have a nice car.

Honestly its all about how you drive. I had an SRT4 red with catless exhaust see video.

Never got pulled over once, had it for 3 years.
