Default Bought a wrecked 07 GS350 awd



Got it from an auction so it has a salvaged title but that don't bother me..It runs and drives like new and seems to have been taken care of by the previous owner. Only wear on the interior is on the drivers side floor mat lol. So now I'm on the hunt for parts.
I need a hood, bumper cover, absorber, the grill with chrome trim and the most expensive part of all... a headlight

Other than the front end damage, the car looks like it's in great shape. Good for you. Good luck with the repair. Share your results.

Looks great.
Amazing how little damage it takes to total the car. This is all cosmetic.

Did you get it for a steep enough discount to break even once its repaired?

I say good deal. Between the age of these cars and the cost of the parts, totaling them out isn't that hard, which is why rebuilt title cars aren't always the nightmares people make them out to be. Hope it all goes well.

Good buy, aside from the headlight the other stuff shouldn't be too expensive, especially if you know a good body shop for painting
