Any idea how much repairs would cost??

dd243372 · 09-01-2012, 07:48 PM

Saw this on Cars.com 2011 with 14,393 miles for about $36K

Just curious as to how much it would cost to fix the damage..?

rjd598 · 09-01-2012, 07:50 PM

If its for $36k I'm assuming it's a salvage title lol stay away man

What he said!

stay away from that! you do not want that.

tibra1 · 09-01-2012, 08:23 PM

Car needs a whole nose..airbags. sensors..$20K at least..for that money you get into a clean one to start

X2Board · 09-01-2012, 08:40 PM

Enough for you to buy a car that was not wrecked!

bimmerjph · 09-01-2012, 09:07 PM

A lot.

jimf15e · 09-01-2012, 10:15 PM

It'll buff right out. That car looks like a GREAT way to get an M3 for really cheap, I'd do it in a heart beat.

BTW, I was completely joking. You'd be a complete idiot for buying a POS like that.

why is everyone bashing? What if OP wanted a track car or something and doesn't care about re-sale.. jeez.

The entire nose is going to get painted. Left door blended. No telling what hidden parts would be needed.

AbuArije5 · 09-01-2012, 11:27 PM

36 seems to much

I know you're a body guy so I will tread lightly..it also needs an oil cooler, condensor, radiator, fan assembly..and that is just from what I can see..If the frame rails are bent..its game over..No way worth $36K

Yea, agreed. Just didn't want to list a bunch of stuff without being able to list everything.

Their just asking 36k because the car is an 11'. Which obviously isn't worth it.

If OP is looking for a junker and doesn't care, shoot for an 08'. Or with a car that's been hit in the rear. Much better option imo.

Realistically worth in the $20k's without actually knowing the extent of damaga.

Mike V8 · 09-02-2012, 04:47 PM

Yikes! Run away...far away.

Bingo. I'm no expert but something is definitely bent on that driver side photo. IMHO.

EddyHruby · 09-02-2012, 09:34 PM

you do not want that.

DivideBYZero · 09-03-2012, 11:26 AM

If it was easy or economical to fix, someone would have already done it.

Agreed, why is everyone else bashing OP, he just wants to know what break-even is.

Likely, if this car is priced around $20k-$25k, you'll likely break even, with decreased salvage value too...

I say get it if you want a track car. On the flip side, if this car sells for $25k if there' no engine or transmission damage, you can likely part it out and make money (good engine and transmission along are about $25k sold whole)

Lorde · 09-03-2012, 03:29 PM

>$10k for sure!

Just buy a 2008 with 40k miles for $40k.

Bluesummer · 09-03-2012, 07:26 PM

not cheap unless your original plan is to drop the V10 in there

persian54 · 09-04-2012, 12:48 PM

offer them $10k
