You would not believe how much it takes to replace air bags (including seat)
JMHO,...This falls into the category "if it sounds to good to be true......"

edit..
they only list 2 bags deployed;
4 are deployed seats & side curtain on each side

The driver's side doors are out of alignment and the driver's side rear wheel looks like its angled in. Based on that I bet the frame got a nice bend to it.


Not worth it. Its going to cost you alot to get it fixed right and even then it still probably won't be "right"

I seriously doubt that is worth the trouble. Like the others said, parts and repairs are very expensive. Someone is trying to make money on the car so you know they are not just giving it away. If you do your research by figuring out what needs to be done to the car, how much it costs to fix, and then do the math, it should be obvious if it's a good deal. You also need to factor in that the resell value will be garbage since it's been in a nasty wreck.

I have had a few buddies that had "rebuilds" from salvages and they are never "right" again.

That car got smacked harder than it looks. Really this car is only worth it's parts that are reusable. Although there is an asian body shop by my house that would fix it up. you should see some of the stuff they can fix.

salvaged cars are only worth it for a show car not to be driven for safety concerns
