it looks that it might cost a little more to fix. It looks to me that the unibody construction might be tweaked a bit. you gotta remember if its gonna be totaled its not worth fixin. but i mean if u get it cheap enough i would probably jump at it. Although i have a rack to pull with and have the means and know how to do myself, so i would be payin no labor. but enough rambling on... if u can get it cheap enough and have the means to fix it or get it fixed Id do it. how often u get a chance to pick up a S2k for cheap

Hard to say for sure without seeing it in person. all im sayin is if it was totaled it was for a reason, thats at least a $10k in my area and the way im looking at it is it has at least close to that amount of damage to it. Just my opinion though, hope it helps u.

The only reason you should buy that is to part it out.

if you get it for a good price you are better off parting it out...if you were in AZ i would buy the top RIGHT NOW


You can sell the motor tranny, steering wheel, gauge cluster for some decent money.

its going to be alot....your looking at severe suspension damage with that im going to assume the frame is bent up on that side so you are gonna have to have i would say 3-4 hrs on a frame machine. then you need a new rear bumper and tail light. and hard to tell but i bet where the damage is there is a nice crease in the rear 1/4 so they are going to have to take that out then they will have to paint the 1/4 and blend.

unless you can get this for like 2-3k i would not pick this up...i was going to pick Evo up untill i went and looked at it and it looked like some1 put a gernade in the rear door and blew it out.

How much do they want for it? I would love to find a cheap s2k and drop the drive-train into something like a crx. It would take alot of fabricating and making of one off parts but it would be so worth it in the end
