I'd be interested to see what this sells for in the end. Anyone on here know the history (besides total loss)?

Current bidding is less than $6000 and no reserve!

This is why its so cheap.

I understand why it is cheap, I was hoping that someone here might know the history of the car. The extent of the damage on the CARFAX isn't very clear. It could potentially be a great car for someone if they got it for less than $20k and the damage was repairable.

My guess is the seller will end the auction with a late "fake" high bid if they don't get what they want for it.

I went and seen the car about 2 weeks ago, its at a body shop that fixes up wrecked cars. Here's what I saw- the two front fenders repainted (not painted very well divots in paint job ), front bumper repainted (covered head light washers/painted over still visible), new painted hood, passenger door edge painted over (drip of paint all the way down the edge of the door), passenger door jam repainted without clear, not real F emblems, interior carbon fiber parts removed and silver plastic 250 pieces installed, panels didn't line up (hood hit the fender every time it closed). That's what I noticed in about 15 minutes so overall the car was put together the cheapest way possible.

Call me crazy, but aren't all ISFs supposed to have the silver woven trim? Not that grey plastic crap that this one has?

Thanks, that is the kind of stuff I was hoping to see. With those shortcuts, the more important/deeper stuff was likely done by the shortcut method too. Anybody care to share what they think a car like this might be worth (or worth to them)?

Well when you buy cars at auction, you should never pay over 1/3 of the cars value. When I look at this car, its basically a wrenched car still with new body panels (which needs to be repainted) and I don't know what under those panels so its a mystery of how much its going to cost to fix. I could probably repaint the car and make it perfect but that would be a hard car to sell once you bought it. Not a huge market and it seems like no one buys salvage isf unless it is extremely cheap.

looks like someone took the carbon fiber parts of this car, i also saw the F logo missing on the steering wheel, the F fender logos seem to be stickers and not the real F logos
