[CaboRob]

that truck has been listed several times I believe

[gixxerrider]

I would get it if I knew a good body man. Its worth about 24?

looks like it has already stared to get fixed they put the badges on the passenger side upside down.

i'm surprised that it was totaled. seen a lot worse being repaired.

i know a guy here who could fix it for about 6k does body work out of his house, and has all the right stuff to take care of the frame dammage..but for parts you can make good money if you had buyers for it.....

A shame - that thing's a ridiculously overpriced DOG, there's now way I can see of recouping $15-grand through parting it out. And it'll never be at it's full value again - it's now legally crippled with a SALVAGED TITLE, even fixed-up mint it's a carfax bastard child so no it's not worth $24K. I think $15.5K is too much for it, if it had a clear title I would feel different; I had a '99 Expedition 4x4 receive almost the same exact damage (frame bent ahead of steering box) and it required a replacement frame, new front clip, and paint - that was a $8500 job and I bet the SS pictured here is going to require nearly the same. They need to get the price WAY down, like around $10K and then it would be worth making a project out of.

very true Mr.P

That thing is worth fixing it, parts won't be too expensive. It all depends on how much you pay

 

Mine was worse than that LOL

[Posi12Bolt]

if you want it to drive...go for it! nobody has to know its salvaged!

 

if you want it to flip... there is not enough equity in it at that price!

Price too high for what it is. I agree with Mr. P

[Simon]

Here's the way I see it:

 

hood 300$

fender 150$

head+flasher 200$

bumber 300$

grill 200$

wheel 200$

windshield 250$ installed

airbag 200$

airbag module or reprogram 50$

rad support 100$

radiator 300$

frame work 800$

body work 1000$

 

total 4200$ plus all the other things you didn't expect and the inspection

 

You've got to know somebody in the autobody business or you'll be taken care of !!!

 

total would be 19000$

 

I was happy to save 2000$ when i bought mine, but I bought it repaired.

 

It's all up to you, the truck looks nice too.

 

Hope this helps
