Default $20k Turbo, Is this rock bottom?

I just saw on ebay (no affiliation) this for 20k, arguably a questionable combination of options but has anyone seen one priced lower (and then can you point me to it?

I would say a 165k mile tip turbo with replacement body panels that still needs paint and parts to look decent is probably a 20k car, yeah. Mileage, history and quality of the specimen really set the prices these days. I personally love a purple car, but I'm not sure many others would (nothing a wrap can't cure though).

Could be a heck of a project. A gearhead would certainly enjoy it.

i'm not tip guy but that's the only thing that would keep me away if i wanted "project". assuming the tip has be replaced, it's GOTTA be worth 20 if the motor is sound.

purple on savannah beige. gotta love that! ack.

I do recall the post when the car had the accident while (so he said) his neighbor was driving it.
It looked like it had quite a bit of damage at the time.

I believe it sold for $14,500 in the fall of '12 and was located in Utah or somewhere like that. Clean title, said he let the neighbor kid drive it to a dance or something and that is what happened. Doesn't seem like he is making too much money on it after transporting it to Louisiana, and purchasing what look like to be new parts.
