I really hate to see these really really damaged cars getting resold.

You gotta believe that car was totalled by the insurance company.

My guess is that this heavily damaged car wont get repaired anyway. Its probably being purchased for its VIN numbers and some poor blue color Lexus owner is gonna get their ride stolen and never recovered again.


His or her ride is gonna get tagged with the VIN numbers from this car and voila, damage to car fixed....either way insurance looses again.

Shame, shame, shame.

These cars should be shredded under insurance company supervision so that things like this cannot ever happen!
