I wanted to fix up this 2006 Camry with 230,000 miles for $800.


Hood, bumper, brackets, and headlight, right?

I did all of that before, I would just need to go to different junkyards, because I needed to look at 20 Camries before I found a matching bumper and hood.

The other picture--the first one posted--looks good:


Wait a second! Go back!


The passenger cracked the windshield with his or her head?!

Is everyone okay?!

Did the airbags deploy?
Quote:
(MECHANIC SPECIAL) Needs front end repair to body still runs perfect clean title
Needs new steering wheel (airbags deployed and steering wheel bent ) YOU NEED A TRAILER TO HAUL IT. It has a bad cracked windshield If it was in good driving condition I would have posted it for 2k
Mine also drove perfectly and had a clean title until insurance paid out.

If insurance didn't pay out it was this driver's fault?

If it runs perfectly, why is it a mechanic's special?

Doesn't it need a body guy?

How many mechanics do body work?

Sure, I have seen mechanics do body work on YouTube, but they admitted they weren't experts.

According to https://globalcollisioncenters.com/h...t-a-body-shop/, the average body shop charges $50-60 hourly, while most mechanics around here charge twice that.

What does it take to bend a steering wheel?!

Is everyone okay?!

So, it needs a new steering wheel [with airbag], a passenger airbag, windshield, and it seems like usually the headliner is damaged.

How is the rest of the steering system if the steering wheel bent?!

I don't want to go anywhere near this car!
