well i was totally expecting him to say no, then maybe counter offer about 425, then id say something like, well, you know, thats how you bargain.

 

Yes it was a low ball but I would have done the same. Some people don't know what stuff is worth so why pay more than you have to. But to mr.Saab I do know what they are worth so sorry. 425 is closer to what I would take but I am going to try and sell local first

 

Sell is off I pulled down the front an there is hardly any damage. I got an est on fixing it under 6k so I am going to fix it.

 

how is that possible if they totaled it? Post pictures, i'd like to see under the hood.

 

Wat?? *** no, take a hammer to it a couple times, total it am sell me them coilovers lol

 

i would jump all over that intercooler!!!!

 

I will take pics. They totaled the car but it's not that bad. It looks worse than it is. The air bags are going to be the most expensive part.

 

Airbags aren't that expensive any more. That was something insurance agencies used for the first few years to get out of fixing cars because of the secondary damage they do to the vehicle. That isn't so much a factor and hasn't been for the past 4 to 5 years.

I still think the most costly part of your repair was the frame machine and the labor to do that type of pull.

Waiting for pictures... I do estimates now at a large body shop, so once i see the photos i will be able to tell you where that amount of money was calculated from.

 

It's going to be 2k to fix the frame an core support area an 4k in parts an I am going to do the work.

 

 

damn under the hood looks alot worse lol

 

Thanks for posting the pics. It ain't to bad. The radiator support is pushed to the intake but it didnt hurt the engine. The main support did however take alot more hit than I thought. The frame is bent on the ends pretty good.

 

lol kind of what i've been saying for the past 4 pages. Now i know he may be a mechanic and that's good but from just looking at what i see. I would have totaled that car as well. When that support is shoved so far back it hits the motor. We wouldn't even take the time at my shop to even attempt to pull that back. There is too many variables that can be wrong and with that much of a stretch out then back, the car will never be safe again in the front. Insurance company did the right thing. I really hope you just part this out and not drive it.

 

hell id attempt to fix it. not a lot of TCs on the road

 

I am going to fix it. It's not that bad. The part that hit the motor is just the radiator support. The car is going to a local body shop Saturday for the new radiator support to be installed along with the new crash bumper installed. The fix is going to be easy. Like I said before the airbags an seatbelts are goin to be the expensive part. I ran the engine 1 hour ago. It's all go to go.

 

no problem man. good luck with the fix

 

Update. The frame, radiator support an bumper are fixed

 

^pics?

 

Hell yeah I'd love to see it fixed up! May make some people uneasy to drive it, but now you have a SS/TC for half of what you owed on it, haha.

 

Will get pics when fenders an hood are finished being mounted in place

 

I will feel safe driving the car. The only real damage was the radiator support which was easily cut out an replaced

 

you gonna still sell it?

 

I am in LA an I will not sell if I complete the fix. I only needed to sell for a DD but if I finish the car I will DD it again. Right now I am borrowing my dads truck for work.

 

keep it

 

Yea I want to but I need a DD since my dad goes back to work in two weeks. I hope I can get enough done to drive it then. I also am installing the s252 zzp I bought once the car has all it's body parts
