That would be a parts car. You could not afford to even start to fix that.


Disagree. The difference is that this would be a DIY project only. Paying someone to do the work would not make sense, but if you can supply your own labor, it can be done at a reasonable cost. On my basket case, I replace both trunk floors, the entire floor pan, both outer longs, passenger suspension console, engine mount engine shelf battery tray, both sail panels and door jambs, inner wheel well, and patched both inner longs and countless other spots. Cost for materials were under $5K and has been a most rewarding experience. These cars can be great projects for someone looking for a challenge, but I personally wouldn't pay more than $1,500 for a car needing that kind of repair but it could be saved.

Typical northeast car.
Over priced, but the guy flips beaters, and he is trying to make a living.
Far from a parts car in my area.
