I've seen this car last weekend. Not sure why they would say "almost all parts available" - there is VERY little left. I admit I did not look under the bonnet, but if interior is an indicator - whatever good was left under the bonnet is long gone. Wasted half of my day getting there and back...

I remember the thread started by the owner on this car and how (i think) it was a minor fire created by a ruptured auto tranny line that caught ablaze when it hit the catalytic converter? I'm not sure but i do remember him saying they pretty much destroyed any chances of saving the car when they literally filled it with water... what a damn shame. What a noble beast was that...

No he said the car was running rough so a typical cat fire when 4 cylinders are not firing.

All body parts were still there last Saturday - basically a complete car, including spoilers. It was pretty much gutted inside however - no steering wheel, no shifter, no pod, no instrument cluster, no electrical panel or computers. Dash was still there and as I said, looked like it could be used as a core. Seats were there, but not sure about the condition. Back seat cushions were removed, but still there inside of the car. Car was still on its wheels, so chances are S4 brakes are still there, as well as suspension. I was told fuel tank has been already sold.

Pricewise - I don't know if they went down or not. I wanted front spoiler, the guy tried to sell me it along with a front bumper for $400 - I figured I'll just buy a new spoiler for a bit more (front spoiler had rather big gaps to body panels in front, I wasn't sure if it's damaged or not)
