A real flippers flipper.
it’s ok, even if it’s damaged it’ll probably fetch near MSRP.

He's not going to get over MSRP for that one.

I don't get how that could even happen. Poor driving skills for sure.

I wonder what mode he was in, specifically whether Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control were on or off. Obviously you can still lose control with them on, but I am curious.

He's alive and able to go home to his family. That is the bottom line.

Honestly not the least bit surprised. Anyone willing to flip for a quick buck is likely foolish enough to just flip it. Literally.

Well. Someone should've explained to him how to correctly flip a C8.
Because that was not it.

Such great exposure, I'd have left it where it was.
I mean, ANY real estate agent will tell you it's "Location, location, location!"
Not even smart enough to tell the Highway Patrol his gas pedal got stuck under the floor mat?

Thankfully, at least no one was seriously injured (bodily).
I wonder what his screen name is?

Well, he just passed his Baptist Free Will, but didn't quite make it to Divine Anointing. Guess that leaves his C8 stuck somewhere in purgatory!

If he was smart, he would have talked with the new buyer and closed the deal first. "hey, how would you like to go out for a 'driver orientation' ride and I can show you some of the capabilities of the car?" After signing over the title and getting paid!
Then ask the dude if he would like to have lauch control demonstrated, etc.

Hmm?
WITN.com TV station in Greenwich N.C. has a short video of the accident scene. A tow truck is flipping the car back onto it wheels. Truth, the car didn't look that bad. Maybe even 'buff right out'. Surprised me.

He'll probably get some body work done and sell it to the next guy for MSRP.
