They want $1000 for the front bumper & spoiler; won't separate.

Cheaper to buy a spoiler new...

^^ They must be trying to recoup the cost of the car with one part LOL!

Wasn't much of an engine fire, car looks fixable to me.

This is bullsh*t - I'm sick and tired of seeing cars like this parted out.

I better be careful, with my new garage I'll have space for some long term projects once I get everything organized.

Love the color too.

The side window is broken. Interior will be trash soon. I don't even see the fire damage.

That is totally fixable -- Im with Hacker on this one. That is insane to trash a car from what looks like a very minor fire along the firewall. >Maybe the rear fuel damper or fuel line ruptured. Shame.

(Ugly color tho .. and I hate maroon interiors since my days of Rx7 Maroon interiors.. ).

This car was discussed here before. The NYFD broke the windows on both sides and sprayed water into the car. I had spoken to the owner and I believe the salvage yard got the car for mid teens. The car had around 150K miles on it.

Mid teens? Cool. As soon as my car arrives I'm heading over and selling my car to them for $15,000.
