Any chance someone can recover the "after" pictures and post here?

You are right, that the most important part is that everyone walked away from it, and yes I like beer!

Good luck in your search- mine is my favorite of 18 cars that I have owned since I started driving. There are good ones out there, just be particular in sizing up the car and the seller.

That ad floors me. I can't believe there is no indication of the crash from pricing or description. When I was looking for my RSA, I probably called on 15 cars for sale, paid for 3 PPIs, before pulling the trigger. One guy was telling me how great his car was blah, blah, blah. I specifically asked him if there was any damage history, and he said no. Carfax showed instantly that it had body repairs. I confronted the lyin' sack, and he said, "oh yeah, I think a tree fell on it." I wonder if he was the same douche as this bag from SSI?

"very clean and ALL SERVICE UP TO DATE".......I would hope so considering it was just fully repaired. Crooks. Not hard at all to say "Slightly Overpriced salvage RSA with full repair" in the ad. I'd be pissed if I found out after the fact or wasted my time on a car that I had no interest in (wrecked). Nice waste of a PPI. Helping the prospect spend money on a PPI when they could disclose this up front.

This is almost, but not quite, as bad as the 968 owner who totalled his car, and gave us daily updates from the hospital, moaning about the loss of the car and his injuries. It played well, until we found out that his passenger, a husband and father, died in the crash. Somehow he forgot to mention that . . .

Oh dear God that was a horrible thread to follow. Made you wanna reach through the computer and beat that kid senseless.

Hey! This is kinda fun!

That pooour SSI guy is probably thinking/hoping/praying, "Won't those guys just let this thread DIE???"

Naaaaah! [pulling out my patio recliner chaise] Hey, Ilk -- throw me a beer!

I'm just gonna bump this thread, and bump it, and bump it some more.... (naaah. not really.)

You really scared the heck out of me with these stormy container ship videos. How about this one:

SSI Performance

The car is sold for 30k. The new owner will see some of you guys at the track.

The market speaks. I'd say you did well. Congrats.

$30K is a good price from a buyer's standpoint if the work was done to perfection. From a seller's standpoint it's hard to say - how much did he buy the wrecked car for, how much he spent in repairs, and finally, how much is the damaged reputation going to cost him in the long run...

I hope the buyer shot a 4-wheel alignment as part of the PPI, preferably after driving on a track or down a bumpy road at speed. If the car holds alignment, and does not have issues with rattles, chassis flex, wind leaks, and water leaks, then $30K could be a deal. I agree the damage to SSI's reputation is more significant than a few percent up or down on the price.
