$108k???

Can't see how 30-40k is enough to fix this; aren't panels alone $30k...clam was $10-12k$?

Might work for someone who plans to part it out...looked like all of the front, right side and the interior were untouched. Even the rear clip, tail lights, bumper area look good - unsure about the engine & transaxle, as it would require a visual to confirm them. At 60K-70K, it would likely be profitable, or good to use as a spare parts source.

It does not take much to put one upside down with the cars. With as many as there are out there, why would one even mess with this much damage? Seems like if you really believe these cars are headed for the stratosphere then one should start dismantling and accumulating parts out the yahzoo vs trying to unload what's left of remains?

Makes a lot of sense to me......... The factor that not many are realizing is the hidden damages that could put you in a perfectly good car in the end..($ wise)......and leaves you thinking what did I do?

I have been down this road many times...........sometimes it works...most times it does not......and why would someone want a marked title (salvage) to save 15/20K.....never!!!! Salvage titles are worthless in my opinion......unless you will track the car, and then you have the responsibility of making this car track worthy.........and that's a whole other magilla......bent frames do not work very well at 160 mph.....
