Wrecked CL-S 6speed for swap... should i buy?

So i've been dealing with a auto wrecker on the otherside of the country and i ask for some videos.

Looks like it's been hit pretty bad...
What do you guys think? should i buy it?

Any further questions you guys think i should ask?
1. Check oil levels
2. Any Oil Leaks
3. traces if any Antifreeze in oil
4. visually inspect for cracks in head/block
5.
6.
etc...

thats not the trans making the noise. it makes the noise when he isnt moving, i think it might be the power steering seeing how its empty. depending on how much they want for. i was looking at a trans from a cl that was hit in the same spot but not as hard and the block was cracked a bit, bolts were sheared off inside the block from the pulleys. let us know how much they want for it.

That's a lot. I bet they paid 2000-2500 for the whole car. I've seen what these cars go for on auctions, I've bidded on maybe 8 of them and then scored on my cl

i usually keep an eye out on copart just out of curiousity for the cls. theres one going for bid at noon cdt in texas. i found one in wisconsin a few weeks ago. and if theyre hit hard in the back you could prbly pick it up for much cheaper then that 4k.

lol its funny, theres a lot of red ones up for auction right now, rajca. must be an accident prone color

$4300 for the car is very high but it's also probably in Canadian dollars

I got it off copart for a fraction of what they want to sell to the op. And it had a whole let less damage. I fixed it and still came under the $4500 that they are selling to the op. And that's with oem parts ( except for the hood and grill)
