[Apex 693]

A friend owned this car new, was very well specked, could make for a nice rebuild project or parts car.

Thats a pretty gnarly hit isnt it??? what was the other object?

[CSET 583]

A nitty, gritty racecar. Really!

You would probably be surprised at how well it absorbed the hit, a 90's BMW would have been destroyed and the passenger would not have got out. Looks like it went off the road and hit something solid.

Seeing its a face-lift M-sport all parts would have to be brought new and I would think it would be an expensive repair, say 20-25k.

That's what happens when you drive like an atshole.

[Apex 693]

Did we know the guy who crashed it?

I only knew the first owner and he sold it a while ago and brought a M3.

I assume the insurance have written this off as they work on a percentage cost of the vehicle per the repair cost??? and what would something like this sell for not bent up like this one of course.

Even the visible damage looks bad but what is hidden could be a lot worse. Could one even recover the asking price in spares from it???

Really? Seems a bit high

Tend to think 18k's reaching a bit...

[Dave@nz 11]

Seems like not a lot of "good parts" for your 18k to me.

Do know what he upgraded to...should be here soon...more grunt and more cylinders

The n54 platform is quite interesting - what people are achieving with stock or FBO options

Might be good for a project like Tony's but looks like the insurance company wrote it off for good reason - it's forked.

[lord_jagganath 421]

how much is that n54 worth though? I'd assume most of the parts in the engine bay should be fine? ( i could be wrong, the impact may have fudged the engine up)

the mounts may be twisted or bent but one would hope that the cranckcase or block is not cracked Edited August 31, 2013 by kiwi535

A quick Google and around an average price of $6500 US depending on what spec level

He's not a member or anything just someone that I know..

I don't think he's replaced it with anything yet, he's been driving his dads Gallardo instead.

[bimmer boy 21]

Haha it is a yellow one! But it's in one piece still

[hybrid 1043]

Its worth 10-12k tops. 35k minus the repair cost minus about 5 k for the "its a crashed car" $$$.

[elmarco 56]

Now that deserves to be transplanted into another project. The engine tone alone is worth $20k....

V10 4wd VW beetle?
