Group buy and then split the pieces up?

I love that he says you can repair the front bar haha

[Chris Rogers]

I'd like to see more of that rail. they bend in really strange spots and that one would need a lot of straightening. also those with fast do a LF hit parts list - there's $8k in damaged bits there.

other thing as well - you would need a chassis book to straighten it properly. none of that would be anywhere near spec.

for me I'd buy it, strip it and then cut it up. the air bags/seats alone to a importer are worth $4k easy

other things I noted - check engine light is on as is the 4wd light.

somethigs amiss there. looking at the engine cover what ever he's hit has destroyed that as well. it wouldnt surprise me if theres a few things under that damaged as well.

Yeah but I think everyone should just look away now....no one show any interest OK

Seriously though I agree, buy it and strip some bits off and sell the rest. No way I'dbe looking at fixing it - Mega bucks! The insurer already wrote it off as having what, $20,000 + worth of damage?

[kidafa]

that was the idea for me to alers the m35 owners... dono how it slipped me i search stagea in ebay generally 2 or 3 times a day to make sure i dont miss anything... Thus I got a catback for$60!!!

ohh hell no its farked, but like chris said, the interior is perfect, the rest of the car is perfect. whoever buys it should strip it after they have taken the bits they want

dang..

it's black too

it's got aero kit too shame..

Hopefully someone doesn't get suckered into spending the $10,000 he says he wants and then they pop up on SAU telling people about the bargain he bought from this nice bloke and was also told parts are easy to source.

If it is so easy why doesn't he repair it himself........... Well since the front end hit has caused so much damage and the parts are not available except new from Nissan Ex Japan it isn't worth the trouble.

The exhaust would be handy. . . I reckon. .

I'm suprised that the insurer let him keep it if they paid it out, normally it goes to auction house to recover their deductibles

Looks a lot worse than he is letting on, hopefully someone doesn't get suckered into thinking it's going to cheap and easy to repair and get running 100%.

I wonder if this was the accident at the intersection in the city area that someone seen a month or 2 back.

It's a shame it was smashed up, looks like a nice M35 *sheds a tear*

If he doesn't sell it maybe we need to consider a group buy offer, I think $10,000 is a little over the top given the fact that as Chris pointed out there could be up to $8k in damage based on the FAST collision information.

You would also have to assume the airbags deployed? But they may have already been fixed.

[kidafa]

like I said hes a cowboy thinkingits all body damage... Look at the condeser for f**k sake lol!

Still if i had a m35 id be watching it closely as the interior is mint and spares are hard to come by

If you look at the bidding history the only people bidding names are all nearly the same and all have 5 to 11 % history of bidding on this guys stuff so all bids to date must be dummy bids or the biggest fluke on eBay for a while.

Thanks for posting that Chris!

I will be buying it soon... Just kidding.

I could understand someone grabbing it if it had the black leather interior and pop up screen etc, but with the exception of the head unit there is nothing in there that is worth buying.

I understand what Chris (Rogers) is saying about the engine cover cracked, but the engine looks like it has taken no damage externally (who knows what has gone on internally though) and it may have been the way the bonnet bent that busted the cover.

The exhaust may be the only thing worth salvaging unless you own a black RS in which case the skirts and rear bar would be good.

Having spewed all that, if anyone on here does buy it, I will put up my hand for the foot rest and the plastic weather shields that go along the bottom of the doors!

Doubt is will be able to re-registered though.

Since it has been written off and looking at the angle of impact, I would say that the chassis has been bent.
