So $5k, OP, plus lots of time and elbow grease. Are you and your wallet up to it? If not, just walk away. There's plenty of other Nismo's in OUR area to choose from without salvage titles..... Does it even start??

 

Maybe a better way to put it is, even if the OP spends $5K for the wrecked NISMO Z, it'll take at least $5K (more if he doesn't do all the work himself) to get it back towards where it was. And even if he wants to learn how to work on cars himself, THIS is not the way to learn! It's painting oneself into a corner and the workmanship is sure to be a bit shoddy.

Even if the OP wants to sell it someday, a car with a salvage title and questionable repair history will not hold much value. This is a guaranteed financial fiasco and OP should really take a moment before sliding down that hole.

 

The car looks to be gone from the IAAI website. Ether they bought it or it sold already.

 

Only dummies like me see value in salvage wrecks...

 

Truthfully.. I'd probably buy it too and mess with it.

 

Whats crazy is i didnt even win the auction smh the car sold for 7400$. Was so mad for half the day then seen a 08 nismo listed on ebay for 10000k 62k miles then bought it later in the day. Offered the seller 7k and he accepted 🤷🏽*♂️ Oh well. Been driving the car for a whole 2 weeks almost runs great

 

Thanks everyone for their response
