Default Lexus wrecked

Can you believe that Lexus is going to certify this car as a CPO car?


Just kidding I was looking at wrecked cars to see what's available out there as a possible project car. Wow, this LS430 was hit pretty darn hard. I guess crumple zones really work in this rig.

That's the new hatchback version. It just needs a little adjustment and some claybar.

Cool site.

A few of those are out of place though... A couple literally would need minor body panels.

I guess factoring mileage/age really kils the value and is rendered a write off.
