Good Lord! There must be some junk yard induced damage there as well. That can't just be from an accident, unless they were doing like 143 when they lost it...

The listing is for the lower control arm ... based upon the pictured wreckage, who would buy a LCA from that car?? The glove box door looks to be in good shape though!

Funny how a car can get completely torn up, yet the left rear taillamp is fine, or the glove box comes out unscathed.

Exactly what I was thinking.
I wouldn't buy any type of suspension parts off of that piece of junk.

My first thought too. Maybe it was in a major chain collision w/ many large vehicles. Other possible is that it was bulldozed or partially smashed. Not a car I'd use as a parts source.

Imagine how if there's no front end damage, there are so many likely decent motors, I bet with little demand since the motors are reliable....
