I was involved in a low speed (~15mph) front end collision. Insurance decided to total the car and am now deciding if I should buy the car back from them to keep for spare parts if i decide to purchase a replacement SRT or to part it out and make some profit to make up for their low valuation of the car.
Car damage was mostly from body panels, frame rail, and the mechanical parts the front bumper to the the fan, radiator, condenser, and headlights area. The car had no leaks after the accident and I was able to start and drive the car out of the middle of the road and park it to the side of the street. I can take pictures of specific parts as requested.
I am not in the business of selling car parts and am guessing that I can sell the parts for 20-40% of the dealer price. So let me know who's interested and what your offer is. I will need to give a decision to the insurance company soon, so I'd appreciate that only serious offers be made please.
I am open to having someone (senior member like BrianBrave) from this forum that lives in the LA area to come over to my house to take a look at the car and see the condition that it's in.
Sorry Brian, dont mean to volunteer you but I think you're a respected member here and mechanically-inclined that people would trust what you say than mine.
So let me know.
Oh here's the notable parts that are on the car besides the OEM parts.
1) NW single CAI
2) SSR GT3 Rims with almost brand new Vredestein Ultra Sessanta tires. I'll toss in the wheel adapters (not spacers!) for free.
3) SpeedInnovation re-programmed ECU for Evosport 178mm pulley kit.
4) KW V2 Coilovers
5) Roadster top (if I decide to not sell the exterior and interior body parts to a body shop).
I have the following as extra parts that I can sell if I keep the car or not.
1) Original OEM intake
2) Spare front grill that I kept
3) Engine cover
4) SRT carbon fiber license plate
5) Original springs and shocks (replaced by KW)
ALL - Please make a reasonable offer and I will add it all up to see if it comes close to my purchase price.
