i am thinking about bidding on this car if it is not too much work and selling the vic. how ectensive do you think the damage is and about how much would the parts cost me?

ummm it would be cheaper to buy a used srt-4 than buy that and repair all the damage to it...
looks like frame damage to me!

I 'd say its around $3-4000 for parts. Looks like it needs 2 new fenders, hood, headlights, intercooler, radiator, radiator mount frame, a/c condenser, intake piping and other damaged under hood parts that I might not see.

Fvck buying that! ITs pretty bad imo

ouch, definately frame damage since its now salvaged. if it were just bumpers and fenders, it'd be a clean title.

heres the way i think of it:
-by trading in the vic, your losing value/money
-your trading in a car thats much more reliable (very important factor to some)
-its salvaged... doesnt mean the only damage is what you see
-its a "dodge" "neon", somethings bound to happen.
-more damage than just body. looks like the intercooler/radiator/complete engine bay was pushed by the collision..

theres so many possiblies, if your worried about it.. thats a sign to stay away from it. im sure as hell wouldnt feel comfortable with a salvaged srt4.


IMO, go for it if your good with automotive mechanics and really want that performance.

so i guess it isn't a good decision huh? iam getting another car regardless, i am sick of the civic, i got it listed in the local papers for $11000. it is my dad's but he said i could sell it, i found a 99 mustang gt convertible for $10000. thinking about it or an eclipse gsx or gst convertible. the civic is reliable and good on gas but really slow, doesn't respond to mods, and is not cool. i want something that i can leave fairly stock and it still be cool. if i get the stang i will probably do exhaust,intake, chip, system and leave it. any opinions on a car around 10,000?

Unibody cars don't technically have "frames".

Still i would avoid buying a car with that much damage...

GSX motors suck ***, get a different eclipse and turbo it later.
