Holy CRAP!!! I thought, "Oh not too bad at all" until the picture of the rear came up. The car is FUBAR! Ask for $1000 for parts or just forget about it.

although none of us like to think about it, there's a chance someone died in that one... it looks pretty effin seerious.

I don't think you can fix it economically unless you find a straight donor vehicle that needs a drivetrain transplant.

Otherwise, you should be able to part it out for a profit: seats and drivetrain alone should cover the purchase price.

That's a no go, but you could probably make some money off of it. The front end looks pretty good. I'm sure the engine and tranny are good also. Selling that and the fenders/hood/front bumper would probably net you money. Interior is probably good too.

That's some serious carnage, why not offer a little less ($3500-ish) and see if they budge?

that doesn't look so bad. just cut off all that twisted metal and fab a truck bed on there and it's good to to. turn it into a nice drifting s2000 truck.

lol yeah i didnt think it was. i mean i sure as hell wasnt gunna give the guy 4200 for it. i jus got those pics from him today. he only had pics posted of the front end, none of the rear end pics. I was thinking about parting it out but i dont really wanna be 4k down the hole on slow moving parts if they dont sell. I guess ill jus have to keep my eyes open for more cars then. thanks

nah you expletiveers are crazy... that **** will buff right out... just use a lil elbow grease and some muscle and itll be like new in no time...

on a serious note, you get him down to $3500 or so and youll be in business...

you got both fenders, bumper, hood, driver door, mirrors, complete interior, engine and tranny, possibly a good diff, at least 2 good rims... you would make a good grand or so selling the parts... if you have the time and money to set aside id say go for it...
