100K car (mark up and taxes) & a driver with good bumper car skills will always put a vehicle like this on top of a wrecker.

The engine bay seems clean for a vehicle that's been in an accident. Usually there are fluids, oil, etc., smeared about, but not always. Did you happen to get any pictures of the passenger side? I see the one part of the frame on the passenger side is bent inward.

If you look at the second picture there actually is structural damage. I have attached the pics describing the damage.

edit: just re-read your last statement.

I have to agree with Sharif on this one.

No fender damage, blinkers are intact, caliper and brake assembly look fine and subframe looks like its in perfect condition.

This may have been stripped by Nissan for Launch control issues?

I don't think it was an accident.

engine was taken out. just look at it. even if it was t boned the front quaters are fine both rotors arent bent along with the control arms. and why would the transmission be removed as well. unless its completely useless then its totalled.

That car had to be stripped. If the subframe was ripped out in a collision, I don't thing the brakes and suspension would be in intact conditions. Even looks like the cowl cover and the wipers are missing.

No. People are just stupid. Most people driving cars are. Dude was 42 as well.

I also immediately noticed how clean everything looked. That definitely does not look like a wreck. I'm gonna' say it was stolen and stripped.
