Default Damaged Front End EG

Damaged Front End EG
Hey guys, I've been looking at an EG with front end damage, just wondering if it's worth it.
It's a base model without A/C for $300

from the way it looks... it probably has some major frame damage/bent..
Im guessing you can probably part it out for more than 300 tho..

I was told it doesn't have frame damage and I didn't go verify because they live on the other side of the city.

Get photos of under the hood, especially sides. Get underside pics. Does it drive? Ask if you can take it to a shop for inspection to confirm no frame damage. If no damage, rebuilding front ends is relatively cheap and easy.

I heard opinions from others and they said inspection is really expensive and rebuilding the front ranges from $500-1000. The guy isn't sending pictures... Just keep on saying come check it out...

if you are going to mod it out anyway you will replace most of the damaged parts with aftermarket..

If its really no frame damage... thats a good deal IMO.
the hood is around ~170
each fender is around ~70
the front bumber ~80
cornerlights like 20 for cheap ones lol
$400ish in new replacement parts.
ofcourse if you got them from a junkyard it would be way less than half the price..
