I'd put my money on body damage... but....

You never know. To be sure, you'd have to measure it up to see if the body is square.

Also, right when you think all the damage has been repaired, you drive it for a few days then find out theres rattles, and squeaks and so on.

I'd buy that car to be a racetrack or drag only car.

well they have the forklift to move the cars cause its a pain to move lots of cars having to jump in and out of them... it runs fine.  

i just wanted to get your guys advice thanks for the help :O

LOL and you're only worried about the accident damage? :D

Yeah it's a pain to move the cars by driving them but at least it doesn't f*** them up...:D

Good luck! :D

theres always going to be structure damage in most accidents ... this one doesn't look to major .. but i would say the frame would slightly be offline and u have to get a crash repairer to put it back ... having said that ... if u dont' mind driving a damaged car and can get an excellent repairer to fix it ... i dont' think there should be any troubles ... thats just my opinion ... i say if u get a really good price then buy it :P ... like under 10k :D

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
