My accent Was hit in the front end and I only had liability on it. The car has 53k and runs perfect. I'm in Greenville SC. If anyone needs a good parts car or Engine and 5 Speed manual tranny let me know..interior is perfect as well.

Unless you did structural damage, that should be an easy fix. From what I see from the pictures, all the parts are "hangable" parts and could be had at a junkyard.

If you were closer to Mass I'd take it. Is it a hatch or sedan?

Um..or not. Closer look shows a bents AC condensor, and the front bumper mount is pushed in and probably bent...

If you can post a few more pics, please do.

Ah.

I used to work for a guy who would buy cars like that and take them to a frame shop, have the bent stuff tugged out and rehang new sheet metal. The frame shop we had was EXCELLENT and used a laser puller so stuff was within mm of spec. We'd fix them and put them on the lot.

The only caveat is once metal is bent, it will bend again more easily if there is another hit. Don't hit anything WBMA. ;)

It would cost $2,000-3,000 or so to fix that, if you got a good price from the frame shop and did a lot of the rest yourself. With 53K, I'd take the gamble.

Excellent! Did you get a halfway decent price for it?

With the right setup that car could be put together...not easily, but it could be. If it was bought for rebuilding someone's going to have a decent car, even if they just needed the engine and tranny, etc it will be more than worth it. 53K the car is just getting 'broken in'.
