Damaged 88 S4

Damaged ebay 88 S4

928 quarter pannels are a dime a dozen, cheaper if you can pick them up.

I wonder what the reserve is on theis car?

If it is not much higher than the starting list price than this may be a good deal. Some how I doubt it though.

Cheers,
Michael

Keep scrolling - it needs more than a fender.
Still a good deal, but 8 days left and 15 bids already.
German Auto Dismantlers - don't they have a pretty good rep?

Curious how much total suspension damage is their that we can't see in the pics. That car took a pretty solid hit to cause that damage in the pics.

I think that only 1/4 to 1/3 of their auctions actually go to full term. Most have too high of a reserve.

It's a really nice car, other than the damage...

But yeah, a hit like that could have jacked-up the transmission.

I've had good luck with them, bought a dash and front seats plus a perfect all leather cargo cover all in navy blue. They shipped well and the price was fair in my opinion.

Hi thats what i was thinking the trans is probably damaged from the half shaft jamming into it but otherwise a good starting point, plus the gas tank may be cracked . The last oil change was in oct of 04, So are you feeling lucky?
I like the colors on this car and a new set of wheels might be just what the doctor ordered, Stan
