Better idea! Buy this flood damaged 2013, as well, and use the parts to make it new again.

Salvaged cars are awesome if you get the right one... Those who have never dealt or owned one wouldn't know what their talking about anyways... that's all my family buys, we got three Lexii now, all three are rebuilt cars.

OP, I would skip on that one in particular since it is consistent damage all over, you'd need a lot more parts to get it going.

Now when you buy something that has a front end hit on it, it is FAR easier to buy a new front clip to use those parts to rebuild it from there - not to mention not having to redo the rest of the body.

It's not feasible to buy many little parts or sit around until you collect all you need to repair it.

FWIW, Looks like the high bid was $11,500, but no idea who was the winner.

I agree with some of the other posts...run don't walk....from this. Just the mere mention of SALVAGE would make me run. Clear Title ? WOW I wouldn't take a change. Too me,thats throwing good money to the wind and thats only the beginning or a long repair bill.

Oh how surprised you'd be in watching the auction then... MANY RX's on the road [very popular car] are hit, majority need some paintwork before they're resold.

I've been looking to get one for my dad for a while, every single freaking RX at Mannheim, NY/NJ auctions [biggest auction block in North America] has some sort of damage requiring attention...

Best part? CLEAN TITLE, each and every one. Then they're resold for the 28k going rate for a 2010 as a used car...
