Don't recognise it, but it looks like it's gone under the back of a lorry... Might actually be salvageable.

Love the interior, wonder if they'd be interested in breaking for parts?

When I saw this on Evilbay I instantly thought of JE.

Great project to put all the running gear on his car then sell off the shell seats etc.

Or he could recover the seats red :wink:

Saw this last week whilst casually searching for a front bumper..... I didn't bother messaging the seller to enquire after the condition

Wow - some serious impact though to salvage. Maybe it's the photo on my laptop but looks like the impact was enough to shatter the centre console plastics??

I'll second Steven on the interior...

Always disheartening seeing a totaled M... Be great of there was a chart to document just how many have been written off...

Nice post Flimper, were they all UK cars though? Aside the Dutch one listed of course.

 

[flimper]

Good question, not sure to be honest, while ago that I did it

Can't see an issue with the interior, but the front damage has moved the strut some distance.

interior looks very nice

 

[Lightning87]

also can't spot any damage in the interior accept for the airbag wich was deployed.

Agreed - It was a reflection on the trim that looked like a piece had shattered out. Just me surfing while sat around airport lounges. Now I'm on client site 'working' I have more time to see the forum

I'd be after this one as a breaker. Can't see it economic to repair when you add all the parts plus labour and still end up with a Cat D. If someone had time to do all the work ad a hobby then perhaps

I agree add up all the bits plus time on a jig to straighten it probably. And its not cheap enough. Last night when it was at around 5k i was thinking about it.

 

[Bad_Pritt]

Unless someone on here buys it to break in parts for us :evil:
with a small profit of course

 

[Sim_Simma]

Ouch, too expensive for that amount of damage. Isn't the bonnet alone about 1200??
So once repaired, it's still a cat d, and not particularly low mileage.
as a breaker, the extra premium of it being a coupe is wasted too.
mine was 2k less than that. On the road for 1k less!!

 

[Machine monkey]

Agreed way over priced. Ah well one might come up at the right price right amount of damage one day.

 

[StevenH72]

A A1 example with 63k on the clock would go for £13kish.

Cat D, maybe £10k?

Not a decent purchase for anybody :thumbsdown:
