Damn. It looks like the car came from Southern California too. I can see at least 20K in damage. At that point, you might as well buy a new car lol.

I agree at least $ 15000 in repair + if you get it fixed chances are it will never drive like it should. You will also loose big if you want to sell or trade it in down the road.

i think Fletcher Jones has dealership on east coast too.


I wonder if the seller will sell the tail light or the Nav seperately could use the tail light for brabus style theme upgrade.

Well on the positive note, it appears that the driver survived, the poor car did what it was designed to do....

Oh man,
That's a great candidate for the AMG nose conversion. Only if I were younger with more time on my hands. My body shop days are over LOL.

You are right. Not worth considering at all. Maybe they should just rip it apart and sell it as parts.

I just noticed that it is being sold with a "salvage title." If so, it's been totaled by the insurance company. So $15K - $20K might be a very conservative estimate of the damage. Even if you did manage to repair the damage, you still have a "cloud" on the title of this car - and some insurance companies won't insure a car when the title has had a salvage history, even if it has been repaired.

It's not worth it in my opinion.
