This one caught my eye and I just sent the seller an email. Can anyone tell me how hard it would be to fix this type of damage? I am seeing the radiator support is pretty cheap and the bumper looks untouched. I haven't been under the hood of a ti for a long time and don't remember how the front end is put together. I am really looking to get another 318ti and trade my maxima for it as I sold my old one that was wrecked and miss it. My pops is pretty knowledgeable about fixing wrecked cars so I might pick this one up. How much do you think it is worth? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...76902391#v4-34 |  |  | | 04-01-2011, 09:58 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Ann Arbor, MI Posts: 150 |
That is going to need quite a bit of work. At minimum, it will need a new hood, nose panel, radiator, radiator support. Probably also needs an ac condenser, coolant fittings, pulleys, belts, and more.
Also consider that at 170,000 miles, it probably needs a lot of regular service. | | | | | 04-01-2011, 10:01 PM | #3 | | Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: New York Posts: 45 |
How much do you think it is worth? The parts seem cheap even on rockauto for some reason. Is the radiator support welded in or bolted in? | | | | | 04-01-2011, 10:06 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Ann Arbor, MI Posts: 150 |
The radiator support is bolted in. I also forgot a new fan...probably needs that too.
I don't think it's worth more than $700 or so, but it's hard to tell what's all wrong with it. It could very well have engine damage, or damage to the alternator, p/s pump, etc.
It would be cool if you could find another totaled 318 with the rear all smashed :P. Then you could just piece them together. | | | | | 04-01-2011, 10:14 PM | #5 | | Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: New York Posts: 45 |
I emailed him to get a pic with the hood open. I told him its probably worth $500. If the pulley system isn't damaged it shouldn't be too hard to fix since everything will bolt in. The big question is if the title is clear. I am awaiting his response and better pics. | | | | | 04-11-2011, 11:01 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 |

He took the ad down 2 days after I emailed him and never responded to me. He did have the car on craigslist as well so I am guessing it sold there. I offered him $500 sight unseen.

its not that bad. yes, some major damage if you wanted to fix it, but worth alot in parts if you were to part it out.
might send him an email and offer a price myself, but i would have to take a guess and say it is sold. he should get about $1k - $1200 as is, as you can make alot more in parts. __________________ Check out our new website! https://soltechsolutionsllc.com/

Maybe give the seller a try through the craigslist ad here, The ad has been up for sale since 3/26/20011 when I first saw it and it is still up as of today. Worth a try for all those that are interested. http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/2288319668.html  __________________

I looked at ebay ad and itsaid "ended, price $1250 | | | | | 04-24-2011, 04:11 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 255 |
^That is because it was a "classified ad listing" and the ad has ended, it was not an "auction" or a "buy it now" listing. The price the seller was asking was $1250.00. It does not mean that it was sold at that price, but most likely it did. __________________
