...This is my 1st post here or anywhere for that matter and will do my best to share the trials and tribulations as the project goes forward. You guys must think I am a glutton for punishment but it was interesting doing the last one and hoping what I learned there will help with this one. My objective is to fix the car properly and drive it for a long time. Always the positive thinker many times to my demise my hope is to get the car back on the road for an additional $17,000.
Looking forward to your updates.

It will always be a salvage title but sounds like you'll keep it for many years
I'm sure you will enjoy it

A couple of years ago I bought a 2015 E350 wagon which had been in an accident and was salvaged. It took me 8 months to fix it and have really enjoyed the car. Buoyed by this yesterday I bought Afaedc63's car at auction. I did not personally look at the car and based my decision on what I read here. Sending a guy in a pick up and trailer today and hope to get the car up on a lift next week and start looking for parts. You all are probably wondering what I paid. The car got a lot of action and was pre bid before the auction started to $35,000. It has taken the insurance company a long time to get the car to auction so I now have a 2014 with less than 4,000 miles. The car was Hammered at $39,750. with fees $41,000 . I will spend $1500. to get it delivered to my home outside Chicago. It was sold at www.iaai.com outside of Boston. This is my 1st post here or anywhere for that matter and will do my best to share the trials and tribulations as the project goes forward. You guys must think I am a glutton for punishment but it was interesting doing the last one and hoping what I learned there will help with this one. My objective is to fix the car properly and drive it for a long time. Always the positive thinker many times to my demise my hope is to get the car back on the road for an additional $17,000.. When I did the e350 the original repair estimate was $45,000 and I spent $16,000 to get it repaired. On the surface it was worse than this one but thats coming from a guy who bought a car without personally inspecting it..
