I guess its the bar where the latch is?

 

Crossmember radiator support Fig. 13-110 part # 05174879AA

 

Is this your car, or one you are looking at to replace your vandalized one? Looks that it has been in a collision of some sort with a poor job of repair.

 

Dam what hit that concrete block ?????????? One heavy wrench !!!!!!!!!!

 

yeah the owner said someone backed up into him but he never got it replaced. So he was going to take that out of the price of the car. Just curious how much it would cost to get replaced.

 

I wouldn't buy it, but that's me.

 

For the crossmember to be bent like that, there was some significant damage done to the car. Since the crossmember was not replaced during the repair, you can be assured that the repairs were not done through an insurance claim. If the owner is going to skimp on this, what else did he skimp on during the repair that is not readily visible? If it were me, I would walk away from this car..... Quickly!

 

Whats the rest of the front look like?
Can't imagine the hood is any good.
Pics?

 

I gotta tell you, that crossmember sits quite high off the ground. I can't imagine a regular passenger car backing into that Crossfire and doing damage that high up. Lets talk truck here.

 

I just finished painting mine. I was gonna remove it but after messing with it for an hour I decided not to, it's a PIA so I spent a day taping it. I'm also gonna do the piece that sits under the wipers that tends discolor over time so it matches that cross member.

Tighed1 here is the front. The hood looks like it needs to be replaced.

 

The front bumper needs to be replaced also as part if it is broken off. Can I ask why you would even consider this car?

 

He was going to sell it for 6k. I wasnt aware of the radiator support being damaged like that until he sent me pics. I havent seen the car yet, but something doesnt add up.

 

Run a Carfax. It may have a Salvage Titlle.

 

First off get a car fax and I would also get an estimate to fix it all correctly from a body shop. Add the cost repair properly to the selling price and if you are still buying it for a little less than rough trade per NADA it would be a good deal. You can find the value on NADA.com

If the cost to fix plus the price of the car is equal to clean trade in then skip this car and buy one with a clean car fax. If the car fax show the damage it is worth even less.

 

If what you can see looks like that - whats the parts you can't see look like?

 

A good reason to have it checked by a good body shop. I will bet that it is not too bad. Look like a small truck carry a long piece of 1 inch pipe sticking out the back may have back into this car. It is a bizarre looking hit. It is a hood, bumper cover and radiator support plus paint at a minimum.
