that sucks

 

ouch times 2!

 

Yeah that sucks

 

That bites! Although it is good to see that it was apparently still going strong at 199K.

 

Yeah, I had to wonder how they still got 2 grand for it, not running. I mean, not like yer gonna pull the engine or tranny and put 'em in your car. I'ld like to find a wrecked one with < 100K miles with good engine & tranny.

 

Clean title? hahah Clean title no more its more like salvage title

 

damn that sux!

i feel bad for whoever bought it for $2k, you prob could have found one NOT wrecked with that many miles for $2k.

 

Depending on what's in it, wouldn't parting it out net >$2,000?

The wheels and tires alone may be worth $300 minimum.
Brakes/rotors $300.
Etc etc

 

If the interior is leather, maybe a little $$ but with 199K miles, it's bound to be
worn to sheet. I lexal mine regularly or it would be worn to sheet.
Cloth upholstery, worthless.
Engine and tranny, negligible worth without rebuild.

Brakes and rotors $300?
Well, I have brake calipers, rotors, and nearly new pads I'd be happy to part with for
that price. We're talking single piston floating calipers here....
~27K miles and only <5K on the pads.

 

I worked at a distmantler for a bit and trust me they will double those 2K easy (if it went to a distmantler that is) Every part gets sold.

Edit: Just an example...

Spindes - 75 each (x4)
Mirrors - 100 each
Rear Hatch Complete - 500
rear bumper assembly complete - 500
Pano (looks like it has one) - 400
Doors Easily - 400 each
fenders if good - 150 each

All the engine compartments (started, compressor, supercharger, etc etc etc..) adds up. once the car is just shell take it to the metal recycler and get another 500 out of it.

 

I thought that it was a good deal for $2000 because who ever bought it would easily make back their money if they parted it out and end up with a nice little profit. It is the little parts that bring in the dollars

Had it been a sedan they would had made a lot more as there are more on the road

 

that's a good point, if the guy who bought it was doing that then he definitely made money
