1994

**Jankerfun** · 09-20-2007, 11:55 AM

Ok, i was looking at a local paper, where i saw a red 6gen 1994, with 150k miles on it. It was in there for 750 USD, why so cheap? Well it got into a rear collision, it smashed up the rear bumper, and knocked out the taillights. Its a GT and it has aftermarket rims with new tires on it. Its a 5speed. Im thinking maybe i should jump on this and throw a new bumper on it, do a little bondo and have it painted, then sell it for around 3500 with a new paint job and new tires with rims, etc... what do you think, should i do it, i might even keep it and sell the car i have. Any thoughts?

What kind of parts do i need to buy for the bumper assembly and the taillights, is that all i need, or do i need to look at like the hatch alignment, or other damage? where can i get a stock bumper? The guy also said it was sitting for a while in his garage and the brakes are sticking a little. There is no rust on the car...

There could be frame damage. Car could have a savage title and who knows how much it'll cost to get it pass safety.
Then you'll still make some money parting it out.

the title is clean, after he got into the accident he put it in his garage

That's more damage then just bumper.
Bumper, support, 2 rear fender, possible frame damage, hatch.
You won't know until the bumper is removed.
If its easy fix, the owner would have fixed it.

Trunk floor is probably creased. Might be a good project but I wouldn't expect to flip it for a profit unless you have a body shop.
