Tweaked frame. just pulling it with a frame machine won't fix everything. At least a right frame rail will have to be welded in and then put on a frame machine. These cars won't take much of a hit. Nice car otherwise.

yea i went to look at it. frame's def f'ed. still some decent parts though. engine's still good. driver side seat is worn thru but pass seat is 70% condition.

looks like it was a crash + theft recovery cause the ignition area trim is cracked.

the guy said there's a couple of other ppl coming to look at it today. if it's not gone by next weekend, i'm gonna lowball the hell outta it hehe

Yea I can't believe anyone would pay near $5 K for that...

Salvage title if you are right about the theft/wreck. You would be doing this guy a favor buying it from him at pennies of his asking price. Thats what he paid for it from the insurance Co. and he runs a risk of getting stuck with it. Good luck.

its a parts car... you can find a very clean and unwrecked example of the same car for the same price or less...

its like a 1500-2000 car tops..!

158K miles..! PFFFT! I feel bad for the guy getting it for 3300...

5900 WTF??????

I paid 6500 for my Black turbo and it was ship shape cosmetically! Who ever is selling that is sure they're on a pot of gold. They'll be pissed when they find out how much it's truly worth!

I'd give him tree fiddy

Price is too high, but the car might be repairable at reasonable cost. You can't tell from the pictires what kind of frame damage there is and how far it extends. Anying on front of the shock tower is pretty easy to repair. If the damage got past that in to the cab you have major issues. Really you can't tell from a few pictures as it takes a good look over and under the car.

Looks like an opprotunity for wide body front fenders, custom header panel, CF hood. Price needs to come down though.



REALLY depends on the state. In Colorado for example there is no such thing as a "Salvage title" for anything over 10 years old.

i went to look at the car the fender itself is crushed up. u can see the bulge on the wheel well area in front of the shock tower. headlight bucket is crushed into the bumper and oil cooler. the hood was pushed into the windshield and it won't line up now.

pass side door still flush with the frame and open/closes easily.

but yea i'm not gonna be outbidding ebay on that. not worth it heh

Picked this car up on ebay. Sent off the last bit of payment today and I am hoping it is on a truck down to Atlanta before the end of the week Will post more pics - especially when I get some sheet metal off.

krystar

josh, u are a brave man. good luck on this one heh. i've read some google reviews of this guy being shady, so let me know if he gives u any runaround.

Josh B

That is much appreciated! Glad to know there is a friendly nearby

He tried to charge me a dock fee right off that bat but I explained that wasn't mentioned in the ebay ad and so he dropped that. Otherwise everything has been pretty smooth. Of course there is still plenty that could go wrong

Good luck Josh---are you going to fix it to keep, fix it to sell or part it out?

Josh B

Probably part it as I am pretty sure the whole car was painted at some time and it sustained frame damage in the accident.
