It does seem like a waste of car but I get tried of cars rather quickly, I usually buy a car once a year on average. This car was also rear ended and has not been properly fixed. It will need about 4k in body work to fix it back to spec. Everything works fine and the damage is very minimal so it's not so bad. But if I was to do the body work and the timing chain that would be 6K right there which is a good chunk of change that can be saved for another car.
