Doing due diligence for a friend...

Located in Bedford, VA. Black or Sapphire Black with Imola Red interior, about 87K miles on the clock. Looks to be a write-off. Anyone know the history or why it's on a salvage lot? A friend of mine is looking to pick it up and recondition it into a BMW CCA/NASA competitive race car.

I think this will explain why it was on a salvage lot...

Ouch. Looks like it has heavy front involvement on the passenger side. Depends on how much work your friend can do. I've seen a E36 M3 cut back to the rails at the firewall and rebuilt into a competitive car. Just depends on skills, resources, and hours available.

If it's just front end frame damage, it can be fixed and reconditioned into any number of classes for around $10k. $18K for a decent race chassis would be a STEAL. Just trying to figure out WHY it's so cheap.

Exactly.
If I had somewhere to store it, I'd buy it just to keep for spare parts. Maybe they left out a small detail like "after the crash it careened into a lake".

I saw this posting back up there last year sometime around September/October time frame. Makes me lean more towards hack's original assumption, something isn't being stated. |
