Buying a used TL, under 50k miles, left and right side replacement




http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...1&aff=national

Dealer's asking for around 11k for a 2006 46,000 mile TL. Says he'll help find replacement parts and that aside from the front sides, the engine and such are all find.
-Judging from the pictures, is it possible that nothing performance wise can be affected?
-How much, just so I can get an idea, am I looking at to replace both sides?
-Also, this car doesn't have navigation so I was wondering how much does installation for a indash navigation run me around? (is it something that I can read a guide and do myself)

thanks

The bases of the A-pillars are damaged, and the fenders are pushed backwards on both sides. It's possible the frame and subframe are undamaged, but more likely that they are damaged.

The parts cost of changing to a Navi car can run up to $2200, if you can't find a Navi drive and Navi screen on E-Bay or in a junkyard, based on other threads here-- god knows what labor will cost if you don't DIY.

Pass on this POS...

That TL is toast.. two new fenders, body work on the passenger door, new headlight, There's no way it went without mechanical damage.. You know this looks like an Azine members ride.. but his wheel was sheared in the incident.. I'll try to find it.. This is a definite no..

Not the same.. this was nyczballa's TL - '04 62k.. It was totalled.. as a comparison.. look at the pics again.. it looks like the front wheels are cambered in, not a good indication.
