Default What do yall think?

Okay so im driving to work one day and i see this 01WS6 ram air parked out in fron of this guys shop. the car looks like it was hit from the back and that caused it to rear end someone else(like pile up)... well anyway i talked to the guy and asked if it was for sale and he replied yes but for 4200. granted the car ran and was a 6 speed all with 52k on the clock. but i cant see paying that much for a car that needs the front end and rear end replaced. this guy was a bodyman and quoted me 7500 to make it look new again. im thinking to myself **** NO but is it worth it @ all?

I would say no, for 11,700 you can get a nice car that you can actually drive home.

I say offer 3500 and if he takes it then install the drive line into a roller that you could find for 2500-3500. WHAM, got yourself a nice LS1 car for 6-7k. Or you could install the setup in a cheap *** third gen, even lighter.
