Default There's ALREADY a GT350 at a Salvage Auction



Well, that didn't take long. A GT350 is in a salvage yard ready for auction. Even worse? It had less than 300 miles on the clock.

I don't see how that thing would be totaled. the airbags didn't even go off.

only thing I can think of is the owner didn't have insurance, and couldn't afford to get it out of the salvage yard.

That'll rub out. Seriously, looks like that could be fixed for less than $5k, fender, hood, front bumper/grill stuff. I can't believe the owner isn't fixing it. How could that possibly be salvaged?

No way should that car be totaled.

To quote Eastwood,"You gots to know your limitations."
Hard to tell from the pic.Perhaps the left wheel is pushed back.Perhaps it has damage in the back.

Carbon fiber front bulkhead, oil cooler, brackets. Price some of these parts. It is astronomical.

Didn't catch the bumper hard enough or at the right angle.
I had a two year old.1995 Taurus wagon totaled.I was rear ended while stopping,and pushed into the car in front of me.The car that hit me,went under me,curled my rear bumper under the car,bent my rear suspension,floor,etc..My front bumper went under the bumper of the car in front of me-my hood buckled,took out the rad,etc.No one had an airbag go off.
