Guys,

I found this S2K on eBay, and I am going to bid on it. Does any of you have any of the parts for sale? Also, what do you think is the highest I should bid?

Thanks

 

Are you going to try to use it as a daily driver?

The salvage title hurts resale value.

 

yes, that's the plan, i hope i can find the parts cheap.

how mush would the salvage title hurt the resale value?

 

i would offer him about 50-75% of the blue book on that car.

 

sounds good to me. how much do you think i will have to spend on the parts?

 

also you should ask yourself if he bought this car WHY is he selling it...??

B4 i bought and sold cars. if i bought a car from the insurance auction and the parts and labor will cost me alot more than what i could SELL the car for then i just sell the car for a loss at times. if you live near that guy DO check on the front end if there are any off color paint on the frame, usually people just staighten the frame place welds then sand it and repaint. i would check out the car first b4 you bid!!

 

good idea, thanks...

 

heck, the replacement lights alone are $450 each. so, there's 900 bucks plus shipping and you installing them right htere. that's only for the lights too, oh wait, no.. .that's just for the housings. so, there could be more required to get just the lights going.

dont' buy other people's problems. sometimes it is worth it to spend a little extra dough.

 

You will probably spend as much as its worth just fixing all the problems... The Lights like he said will cost you around a 1,000, The Interior? Theres only 1 seat. The Front Dash, Wiring, Steering Wheel, Labor, etc will be up there as well. Its gonna cost u a bunch to fix it up. You dont even know if the engine is any good. liek the Title said, " its unable to run in its current condition "

 

I checked the parts on http://www.car-part.com they will be around $2,750. I figured since it will be only adding parts it shouldn't be that hard and I can probably do it, so no labor cost. With a salvage title however, I am not going to give him more than 75% of the blue book.

 

anyone who pays 450 each for s2000 headlights is retarded. you can get 04's for around 700 brand new w/out any special discount. you can find a lot of these parts used easily.

 

thats true about the lights issue,then the shipping. buying an entire car off of ebay doesnt make sence unless you get there in person and check it out,otherwise,its a huge risk.

 

Cough cough, Bride Seats!!!

 

Yeah, then hand me the remaining driver's seat to use as my computer chair
