Flub at local dealership

[MrBean85]

My cousin, who is the service manager at the local Subaru dealership, called last night w/ a lead on a 94 Legacy AWD sedan. Supposed to have 111k miles, and some body damage but fixable for the low price of $700. My cousin hadn't seen the car but told us he probably get it for about $400.

Went by the dealership this afternoon and found out that its a FWD and the body damage is kinda severe. The left rear door is stuck shut from--looks like its been sideswiped. The left rear quarter panel is severely dented, the rear bumper is hanging down is bent up and the trunk won't shut.

Called my cousin back to let him know that we weren't really interested in a 2wd car but we'd give them $200 for it. He said that the only reason the owner of the dealership traded it was b/c he thought it was AWD and would be able to make a quick sale w/ the bad weather we've been having. Guess he won't be real happy to find that he wasted his money!

I know this is blasphemy, but VW guys would be intersted! Ive seen them pay more for wrecked cars. They dont care what transmission it has.

If we get it its more than likely gonna be a parts car...I'll keep everyone posted!

what color is that badboy?

[MrBean85]

Its white w/ a blue interior. From what I could tell the interior wasn't ripped up or all that dirty although a cleaning wouldn't hurt. It's got cruise, ac, cassette all that good stuff. Didn't check on the condition of the tires, but its only got one original hubcap and one Wal-Mart special. If they take our offer, we're gonna grab the fenders hood, headlights, and maybe the engine....everything else will be up for grabs
