$7800 in repair cost? doesn`t look like anything bad. wonder what it would cost to fix if it was fender or hood? looks like an easy repair.

Heh Charlie, what up? I've been shopping for a right front door mechanism, my handle dropped the window inside the door. I could use some knowledge on getting it repaired. I'll call you !

Yeah...copart sometimes comes up with some good stuff but sometimes also competition.

That looks minor tbh, front bumper and missing park turn lights but it wouldn't be hard to make it sparkly. The big unknown is the engine......

Find a local used car dealer, who has a license, and give them $250 to go pick it up for you.

Wow that one too a good hit. there is hardly a straight panel on it.

Front seats dont match and then the decal on the rear window, think it was a beater before the wreck.
