Clearly this was just a little parking lot fender bender

Default Re: anyone else think that it is strange that the airbags did not deploy?He replaced them..

This is the 3rd auction he ran for the car....I spoke with him several times and I was going to look at the car....He seems like a nice person but he can't seem to give enough information on what the story is.. He did buy it from a salvage auction I understand.. I do like that red on silver color combo.. Some things broke right off their brackets on the engine and that can't be an easy fix.. If the car was an easy fix, he would fix it.. I think he found it to be too much work and money to repair.. The insurance company wrote it off so the title is salvage.. That would need to be corrected as well, if it could be done..Also, if you fix a car like this, how could you resell it and not tell the buyer what has been done? So, you really can not get book value when it's fixed..Any other thoughts on this S8?

Tempting, strip the 98' with 114K, make a sleeper.

Default It's missing part of the front frame rail (whole crush zone gone). Depending on where it broke

that is either a bolt in job, or a weld in then bolt in job...
