Salvage Elise in Brooklyn - LotusTalk

waydui · 07-24-2009, 11:44 AM

Found this on ebay.

Claims it's a "minor front end accident damage. the impact was low and to the left front. Mainly this Elise needs the front clam and headlights. There is also a small dent on lower left hand corner of the frame (at the control arm mounting points). The damage looks very minor and easily accessible for repair"

Attached pic of torn suspension mount suggests there's more to it than that!

Wow, this one sucks - Even WE wouldn't try to repair it!

Time for a new chassis!

$25k too? This is humorous...

That chassis is toast.
