Default How hard is it to repair

I have always liked the s type, better with black on black and the pre 04 model year, so I came across this beauty of a 03 s type in San Antonio, inside is striped slightly, but how hard and expensive would it be to fix or would it be better else were. Also would parting this car out be any use

There's no reason to even consider a car in this condition. There are plenty of good clean running examples listed on Craigslist and other sites. And they are very cheap. In truth even if you got this for free, it still wouldn't be worth it.

Agree!!! Money pit

Don't be seduced by a not particularly pretty face. Keep looking.

I think the laws of physics would unfortunately prevent one from being able to run fast enough away from this example. A jetpack may be required, at the very minimum. Or failing that, have you considered having yourself fired from a cannon as a means of escape?

Monty Python put it best: "Run Away!"

These wind up on Craigslist as a "fresh kill."
