Thats what I would do!!! See if the frame is bent first! You should still get it....just so you know what you're getting yourself into!

[Supersprynt]

Check it all out and then buy it - sounds like a good deal

[coustoe]

invalid vin i tried confirm it on carfax.com

[coustoe]

$1000 in body damages? that car has welll over $2000 in body work alone not to mention cost of decent paintjob. I guess if you did it all by yourself it could cost $1000

[Charlie97L]

replacing the rear fenders will cost at leat 10K. it's like 30 hours of labor for one side. they have to unweld it and cut the roof off, and then reweld the new one on. not worth it. it's 6 grand to do the same repair on an 85 mr2. so imagine that on a mk4 supra.

[Guest_Matthew_*]

i would say just have them pull out the dents as much as they can...then try to attempt to bondo the rest.

[coustoe]

10K? dont know bout that, the most i think someone would charge for a job like this would be maybe 5k, course im not there to see what the frame damage is like

I would be wary of salvage Supras that cost 5000$. The reason that it has a Salvage title is because the cost to repair the car is more than it's value.

Oh yea BTW that color is Baltic blue which is probobly the RAREST MKIV Supra color. 1 our of 24 or 54 (I dont remember off the the top of my head). (Royal Sapphire blue which is the next rarest next to Anthricite {MSB...monkey shiet brown} is much lighter and prettier.

You get what you pay for....think about it.....a salvage Supra for 5000$. Most people who buy Supras know exactly what a Supra is capable of and the value.

My cousin went to look at a few salvage Supras (he's trying to copy me =P) And he really wanted to buy a Supra but then he didn't buy them (ill ask when hes online why he didn't..I forgot)

Just be careful

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for the interest. I believe I miss type the vin# for this
vehicle. Please allow some time for me to find out and email the correct vin#
to each of you. I will also leave a contact number and the address to
view this car for those still interested. And please note: The car has a
Salvage Title and it is a listed as a project. It does start and runs,
but not far due to a damage to the quarter panel and a flat tire on the
rim (and it is unclear if there is damage to the rim or the control
arm).

[No0bOne]

Hey hioctane, can you get a hold of that guy? I want to come take a look at the car for myself and have it snatched a.s.a.p from the others

[Mage]

um, salvage mkivs cost $17k? ****, USED mkivs shouldn't cost that much . If it wasn't for that damn ricer fast&furious movie, a nice low-mile mkiv wouldn't cost more than a new 350z

[hiflytsi]

I really don't know, it looks great still, but that fugged control arm..., that is gonna be a $biatch$ and always remember when its too good to be true, it probably is.
