Quote, originally posted by vibe11 »if i had the money i would buy it and fix it upFor $3700 I don't think it'd be worthwhile to fix that up. The price quotes are way off for parts. $400 for an airbag seems a little low unless it's refurbished. The only body panels he mentions are a front fender, and it needs the fender, fender flare, front bumper, looks like 3 sections of the lower moulding, headlight, and I can't tell from the pics but it looks like the hood may need replacing. If it took any less than $5000 to get that thing even close to roadworthy I'd be amazed. Wonder if the seller would be willing to part it out?

Poor Vibe? What about the spelling? Both are in equal disrepair. Go to Noxville, TN and put on a new struit, controle arm, posable spindle and it's drivable anywair you want to go! No hagle styl! Fast and speedy trans action! Better bid now, it's you and the hole world! But no refunds, is sold as is wair is with no woren.Um, yeah - move along, nothing to see here kids. Don't bother fixing this one up, it's too far gone.edit: hey, there's a Corvette Cupe for sale tooooooo! He got it at action on Christmas Ev. Like new but with fixable damage!

Ya that Vette will "buff" right out. Just minor blemishes. Didn't accept my offer of $200. Bummer.

Love the claim that it's 'repairable', and then the disclaimer that it's salvage and being sold for parts. I could be wrong, but most parts cars don't go for close to 20k.Love this one:Quote, originally posted by ebay seller with atrocious spelling »it has not been repaired in enny way since the exadent.

That Vette is seriously messed up. 6,000 miles and the guy wrecked it. Some kids just don't deserve nice toys. Too much car/money not enough skill/brains.

If there was any bodily fluids or remains, the vehicle would clearly be marked that as the risk for transmission of blood borne pathogens such as HIV, Hepatitis, and etc. Also, the remains would of been collected for a proper ME (medical examination) or then for a proper burial.

Man, that whole write-up was a bit emburazing. Tinesee, huh? I'm not a great speallerer, but this guy makes me luk gud. By the wai, I perchest a Vibe just like that one in the picher, eggzept mine had the fender and other missing things already on it, but it dint have the exadent! I don't think Spell Check can even handle that. Ok, I tried it and Spell Check found everything eggzept... luk, gud and picher. Not bad.
