You may have missed my earlier question-----

"What was the cost to repair based on the insurance company estimate??" Can you supply a copy of that estimite??


ALSO:

Is the motor/injection system and ECM damaged at all??

I assume the radiator is going to need to be replaced as well as essentially the whole front end from the windshield forward.

I do not have an astimate and dont know the cost to fix it, i bought this car from insurance company in its current condition.


Where are motor/injection system and ECM located?

My question may have been mis leading. I was referring to the engine and the fuel injection system.

Here's where I am going with all of my questions. This car is worth --with NO wreck history--$30k-$35k retail.

With the whole front end gone and a salvage title it may cost more in total cash outlay that it is worth to consider it.

You want $15k and the cost to repair just the body work may run around $10-$12k plus the radiator and the cooling fans and any suspension, alignment and engine issues. THEN there are the air bags that surely went off in an accident of this type......REAL EXPENSIVE!!!

Just thoughts....

You hit the nail on the head. This may of been bought for say 10K from the insurance company, air bags will my guess run $1,800 or more. This car with a salvage title is not worth more than 20K fixed. There is a dealership on ebay with an 04 and 53K on the clock for $24,995. with good history and a clean title.
