Poor Car Got Messed Up :bawling:

I was browsing on e-bay to see what was out there because I really want to buy a TL-S.

Came across this...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...ht_16969wt_958

so sad... would have been an awesome car.

That car is pretty much totaled, the frame looks tweaked and the ACE body construction looks pretty much compromised as well. I'd guess easily over 10K to fix the car. Just an example of how bad of shape the car is in, the forces of the accident twisting the car was enough to crack the plastic radio and the gauges. To do that you'll need a WHOLE lot of force.

I can't see much that can be salvaged from that car...certainly not $8500 worth IMO.

Clean title and trying to sell it for that much... They should just give it away to someone who is willing to try to build it back up since they probably already got money from the insurance company for it being totaled...

Sketchy stuff...

Clean title my ass lol
If your insurance company classifies it as a total loss, and you fix it, it becomes a salvage title.

and a salvage title is not a clean title.

The whole engine bay is shifted, frame is probably bent to shit, rear is smashed, air bags deployed, and almost every panel is moved. I would say the navigation and driver tail lights are the oNLY things worth money, maybe exhaust but I am not so sure. I would pay 3k for that car.

Aside from the major exterior damage, did anyone else notice how beat to shit the interior was?

Dirty as hell and the leather looks like it has 150K miles on it, not 50k. You can tell a lot about how well a care was maintained by looking at the interior. I mean look at the driver's seat...



Filthy nav screen and cracked center stack piece by the CD slot.

12k for front, 2k for trunk/bumper, 3-4k for the side, 2-3k for airbags.

if it was just the front, could definitely fix it and make some money if purchased for 8k
