C-Coupe in distress

This car is in need of alot of work, and I think the bidding is a bit high. The parts alone will cost plenty of cash, not to mention the time. Granted, alot could be done by yourself, but there would be plenty of sweat equity involved. Take notice to the switchrow, shouldn't a US car have something? ESP, Tow-alarm? That is one pissed of person do do this kind of damage.

totally a fake story... that car looks as if it was stolen or was broken into... no chick is going to remove a door handle...

yeah, i'll show him... i'll take his door handle off so he can not access the interior of the car with out rolling down the windows first..

A lot of interior work. I think for 10K I would have put the money into it...but not 15K. Even the farking dash is shot.

I agree...since items like the flat hood badge is missing with what looks to be little or no damage to the hood area..something a wife bent on total destruction probably would not do so "neatly"......guess just another reason why I'm one of the lucky ones not to be married.. :p

i think the hood badge is probably missing because they have already re painted the outside of the car, but man that's alot of interior damage, I would estimate around 15k to fix it all, and with people getting new c230's for 25k in cali, well you do the math.

I missed the part about the repaint but I see where he said it was so maybe your right...Only question is why does the opening to the door handle still look damaged ? (I would think they would do the repair work first and then repaint) and on the 3rd to the last pic. looks like they repainted right over the broken side marker and bulb
