is this fixable?

sonman · 05-13-2008, 02:44 AM

it's an 07 SI. i know it looks f*cked, but dealership says it still runs and drives. Salvage title. Just wondering how much it'll take to get it completely restored (if possible)...don't know exactly the specs on the accident, but here's the pics...

let me know what you think.

***Zeuceone*** · 05-13-2008, 02:46 AM

rear end damage? looks like 6k minimum.

***SoCal07Si*** · 05-13-2008, 02:48 AM

is the rear hit too? kinda looks like it in the 2nd pic

edit: oops

sonman · 05-13-2008, 02:49 AM

i think the back right side too..

completely fixable though? gonna go check it out on thursday and take some pics with the hood up, ect..post that up to later this week

***Zeuceone*** · 05-13-2008, 02:50 AM

thats what i was thinking

***Zeuceone*** · 05-13-2008, 02:50 AM

it is damage. the tailignt is broken.

***SoCal07Si*** · 05-13-2008, 02:52 AM

and the bumper cover is hanging off under that broken taillight, u can see it in that 2nd pic. Seems like alot of work, but almost anything is "fixable".

sonman · 05-13-2008, 02:52 AM

somethings hanging off by the exhaust too

sonman · 05-13-2008, 02:53 AM

my guess is maybe 7k?

***SoCal07Si*** · 05-13-2008, 02:55 AM

personally, I wouldnt unless it was dirt cheap. Then maybe even part it out and make some $

sonman · 05-13-2008, 02:57 AM

if it's fixable, ima see if i can get it for 5k...thats pretty dirt cheap

stealth · 05-13-2008, 02:57 AM

Seems like more than 6k worth of damage IMO, i'd say like 8k...

***Zeuceone*** · 05-13-2008, 02:58 AM

whats the price?

fishmonger · 05-13-2008, 04:54 AM

If it was written off then it probably has frame damage and the cost to fix it is a lot more than you might think. Get it inspected.

lovecheese · 05-13-2008, 06:00 AM

I wouldn't do it... There could be a hidden problem that could come back up and bite you after you invested all the money to fix it.

boltuprite · 05-13-2008, 07:50 AM

Biggest issue is the frame. If it's not bent then all the damage is fixable. You just have to decide whether the price you pay, plus what you have to put in to fix it, is a better deal than getting one that's 'together'.

If the frame is damaged though, walk away.

***thatsnotstock*** · 05-13-2008, 08:15 AM

see how some of the damage on the hood is starting to rust? that means its been sitting out in the rain like that...lord knows where water has gotten in that time

KlickityClack07 · 05-13-2008, 04:40 PM
