Well,

They were good...but not great tires Ouch!

For somebody who can do their own body and some mechanical repairs, this could end up being a good deal for someone! No reserve... i am guessing it goes for $25k. any other guesses?

One of you jag techs need to get this and fix her up for your own! lol

 

Considering the insurance estimate was about 30k I would guess the bid will be over 34k. Some shyster body shop will buy it and hack the living **** out of it and sell it to some unsuspecting sap that thinks he's getting a deal and the shyster will make 10k. I'm saving the VIN number so that no fellow enthusiasts will be taken for a ride SAJWA07C891R02010. Remember, if it's not repaired through insurance it may not show on the carfax. Remind me in 6 months and i will see if it's on the road.

 

dont be surprised even brand new, franchise car dealerships do that kind of stuff. its pretty pathetic if they arent upfront about it

I know at least Florida law doesnt make it a requirement to disclose known accident damage on used cars

This one chevy dealer i drive by a lot will have all types of new but wrecked (most, pretty seriously) cars packed in their back lot...magically a week or two later they are on their front line.....probably none of these will ever show on carfax

once again use the paint meter test!

 

I say it goes for 19,600 lol

 

I wouldn't give over 10K. As Real Tech mentioned earlier 30K is just to fix it assuming no other problems are present. My question is this: if the driver had a normal insurance policy, it shouldn't cost him/her more than about the $500 or so deductible, so why not just fix it? This sounds like a train wreck. Watch the VIN like Real Tech recommends.

Well his/her insurance company would deem the car a "total loss" if the repair bill is over %40, %50, or sometime %60 of the value of the car..(depending on insurance company). I had an orange 350Z, HAD being the key word... It was brand new when I bought it; it had 11" wide wheels in the rear, exhaust, downpipes, 6 speed, intake, brembo brakes, etc.. and I spun it out in my neighborhood going around a turn.. The body shop gave my insurance company an estimate of $26,500 to fix the car... Well since thats very close to what I actually paid, they totaled it out and Im sure some scumbag bought it at the salvage auction, bondo'd it back together, and sold it to some 16 year old kid.. I actually saw the car go up for auction and someone actually paid $12,500 for the car..

 

said perfectly real tech so true. dirty body shops

 

You need to re read the posting. The owner had no collision insurance, only liability coverage. That was his right, since he paid cash for the car. Maybe he couldn't afford the full coverage. Regardsless, he now does not have the $30k needed for repairs and he is trying to get what he can out of it. It sold for a little over $15,000. I still wouldn't own it to drive, who knows what might pop up in a year or two.
