Seems to me these cars should be parted out at the point they are totaled.

Honestly, I dont think the guy's misrepresenting the car at all. If i were looking for a rebuilder, that's a solid candidate. That's the nice thing about these cars, i'm pretty convinced that anything that broke could be remade in my garage in a weekend other than bolt-on parts. The tub's good, the dinged frame area is what looks like a bolt-in shock mount... Honestly, if i was looking to make a project/toy, I wouldn't say no to that car. I'd say HELL no to the price, but at about 10-12? Game on! The seller's being honest about condition, there's pictures of everything. For someone who knows metal, i see nothing to be scared of.

No way to safely repair this car without replacing the ENTIRE tub. The bolt on parts aren't the issue. It's the torn aluminum mounts on the frame that are not repairable. Price is WAY too high for a car in this condition. .

yak that's exactly what I was going to suggest... a realistic value in the 7 - 10K range.

Those pesky Europeans put periods where we would put commas.

The buy it now price + cost of repairs needed > cost of a brand new one.
Also you can get a good used one for about the same price anyway I dont know what they are thinking unless they are counting on the old saying of there is a sucker born every minute |
