Picture #7 I think the last one I have. The TITLE is Salvage, of course. What do you guys think?

Looking over my shoulder - "It ain't worth nothing..... it don't run"

My grandfather cracks me up.

I'd set it directly beside $1500.00 cash on a table and call it even. The damage is really not much at all from a body shop point of view, but let's say you spend $1500 to get it, $1500 to rebuild the back end going the thrifty route, and have $3000 to $4000 in a 1995 SC with a salvaged title and respray.

See where I am going with this?

In other words you wouldn`t give $1500 for it, right?

depends on what you can rebuilt the back for. 1995 SC's aren't exactly pricey. You can snag one for about $6k non wrecked with a good title that might need some work, but will be able to be RESOLD.

My rule of thumb is 97 and up get rebuilt, 96 and below go to Lexus heaven.

Thank you for the input, I will keep that rule in mind
