Default What do you guys think

Found this car on Copart. It is hard to tell if chassis is bent, but overall
apears to be body panel damage.

Hard to see $15,000 damage, but have to assume that's a "good" estimate, probably based on new parts. I'd guess there is damage to the right frame rail. Not sure if these cars have a hydroformed frame, or use special steel - as you probably know, you're not supposed to straighten the frame on many of the late model GM vehicles, so the proper repair is actually to replace the frame. That would probably get you to $15,000...

Miles are high for an '07, but maybe that's not important...the salvage title will gut the resale value anyway.

Current bid is $1550 - seems like you could make good money parting it out at that price, even if you decide it's not viable to fix it...

The ill-fitting rag top is a good indication of major structural damage.
