Poor TL........I "highly" doubt this will start.

hmm just a tad dusty... no butt imprints in my colour! ::buys ticket to chicago to negotiate for the the seats::

When i first saw it i, was just confused at the condition of the car, but after reading the summary it makes sense.

 

how come i can only see red X ...?

 

Awesome, time to bid!

 

how can the vehicle have 3000 miles if the engine has never had any fluids or never been started????

 

The seller says "I do not know if this vehicle will start."

 

that sure must have been a lot of trips up and down the crash test launch pad to get 3k miles...wonder how many times she hit - front end is pretty mashed

 

"The motor and transmission never had fluids installed, and everything is in new condition"

Exactly what parts are in "new condition"??? And where did it get those 3000 miles if the engine and transmission never had fluids???

 

and mentions there are no fluids in the car... well no fluids no start! seller is a n00b

 

Bet you mine still has more rattles....

=)

(had to say it.)

 

why would they be testing the car with navigation, the nav isnt gonna help you find the wall that your driving into. Woman navi voice "straight...straight...!

 

No nav. package in that TL....


Spare Headrests anyone..???


TL42 - Gord

 

If it was my exact color I would def purchase it for spare parts.

 

Sad thing is, someone is going to buy the car and repair it. Then some poor sucker is going to be driving it thinking he got a great deal and wonder why the car doesn't track straight or has a shimmy above 40 mph!!!

 

i guess they are selling it just for parts

 

The wheels look better than mine!

 

i would never consider buying this...

 

i would for parts... i would have to see the car in person thou.... wheels alone are probably worth $500, if the doors are straight with good windows, regulaters, and door locks you could get an easy $250 each. dont forget all of the side airbags thats big $ right there. plus all the misc parts and pieces it could add up to a good sum of money... probably several thousand $... just depends on how far you want to take it

 

BINGO well said. With a salvage car like this, you can do mods and have replacement parts.

 

Bs!

 

Wow..........

 

guys i think you are missing the point here... look at how the passenger compartment "cage" held up at this kind of a crash. i think its incredible that the only visible damage i see is a cracked windshield --- and of course all the mess the airbags made. ... oh well, my two cents

 

Hell yeah! The tranny's probably in perfect shape ($4000), the windshield ($300), seats, all of the wheels look fine, body panels.

This thing is probably worth at least 7-10k parted out - and no reserve...

For the right buyer it would be a nice buy!

 

Just a guess, but they may drain the fluids, as a fire prevention and mess prevention thing, before the crash test. So for some reason it was driven 3000 miles, then crash tested with no fluids, and the fluids haven't been replaced. I see no reason to put lots of miles on the car before the crash test, so maybe there was some history before that like a lemon law buy back or something.

 

I think crash test facilities use catapults to launch the car on a track like thing, i mean there is no driver driving the car, so it makes sense if there aren't any fluids in it.

Now for the part about him no knowing if the car will start or not, i dont think i'm inclined to answer that question, in fact, comments reserved!

 

Run a carfax for VIN: 19UUA66264A006543, and post Vehicle History.

 

what are you worried if THAT car doesn't track straight or has a shimmy above 40mph, they do that new and people still pay for it..

 

Haha, I was thinking that, but coming from the G35 forums, I didn't want to start beef with anyone!!! At least ALL of them don't do it!!!
