...crash? This is the car http://ksu.craigslist.org/cto/1045882706.html and was wondering if its worth it to buy and repair, or if i could get another car similiar to this one for around the same amount i would have spent buying and repairing this car. I understand that this is a tough question since I have no info regarding what is wrong with it, I think its just cosmetic damage and nothing mechanical wrong with it. All answers appreciated!
 
considering the mileage, year make and model and in above average condition ,IF IT WAS all fixed with the history of a collision, it would be worth
$ 4500.00 tops!

paying someone to fix this parts and labor my good guess $3900 to 4600

this is a parts vehicle, bad purchase for 1800
 
Well lets just assume there is nothing mechanically wrong. Engine runs and holds coolant and oil, same for the transmission. Bumper maybe $300 tops. Hood maybe another $300. Paint $500 minimum I'd say. Lights and motors maybe somewhere between $300 to $600. And the big one, structural damage, the car could be twisted, or have on side pushed back (like a parallelogram), maybe $2500? And then of course other small stuff like alignment ($70) and cost of inspection ($150).

I'd say your looking at $4000-$6000 dollars worth of damage, or just $1000-$1500 if there is no structural damage...
