keeping the car for a little longer!

Is the 22 grand pre or post sideswipe?

[bamf3000]

He was asking 26k so i would assume thats post swipe. I think its gonna be a tougher sell for sure...

[Jooskid94]

Now $20K flat. It cost about $500-600, $1,000 Max for the left body damage from a local body shop here. So i believe its a good deal. Also my tech guy tells me my engine is from a 2004. Not 2002.

so spend the $500-1000 and sell it for 26k

For that price you should get it fixed and put the price back up.

Yes thats what probably will happen. but until then "as it is" is $20k flat. Just started a business and i haven't had time to work on it.

hope they dont cobble the body work at that price

[myclue]

that's not a 500-600 job

[Cobranut]

that's not a 500-600 job

I agree.  That'll probably run closer to $3,000 to fix correctly.

i agree, you would have to do completed paint job

that's not a 500-600 job

I agree.  That'll probably run closer to $3,000 to fix correctly.

ouch..remember this car when it was for sale in the SF bay area. wish i couldve gotten it then.

can the car be repaired for under 1k...sure. could it be done higher for a better result...sure. just depends on how crazy the new owner wants to get but 1k is still realistic.

To all the ones who were interested in this car, Let me tell you now i am keeping the car. Thankfully the wheel wall was not damaged. Therefore there was no need to replace my fender. instead of fixing it back to normal, i chose to go the wide body Rocket bunny kit or some other wide kit. Good Luck to those who are still searching for one. Good luck to those who are still researching for one lol…$3k for a damage like that is realistic too, but i wouldn't come across that price for this damage ever. Might as well buy the RB kit. lol

hope to post up pictures of it soon!

Until next time

Glad you're keeping it.  Pretty much always the right move if the only reason it's for sale is short term financial needs (assuming you can find another way out of the jam).
