Lol wouldn't touch that, unless it was for interior/rear suspension/trunk/etc. Oooh and the 5 lug!

shit if i only had the room for another parts car....
you could easily make your money back by parting it out if you had the time and the effort...

Could be fixed.
Easy is relative.

fixable? Yes , easily ? More like costly if done right. Air bags deployed , its a Salvage title guranteed. Would not pay more than 1k for it. I would also most likely buy it and part it. rather than try to rebuild.

Coming from someone who flips cars... I wouldn't buy it for more than $1200 if it's a manual trans.. (only so much because it IS 5-lug, and the interior is probably in-tact minus the dash and S14 5-speed pieces are hard to find, esp. the interior trim piece, $50 new from Nissan). Not worth salvaging though... I'd buy it for parts.

Damn, that looks like my old S14, which I rolled and flipped in 03...
Except that car is a 96 and 5-lug

It has a clean title because no one turned it in on insurance. The state doesn't know what you don't tell them.
It's repairable, but I'd offer $800 and part out.

to be honest thats not that bad...
radiator support
2 fenders
hood
2headlights
2 turn sig
bumber beam
bumper cover
grill
whats thae story behind this...is a guy selling that cheap and u wanna buy and fix it?
from the pic u gave, the rear seems to be hit also but not to bad, the most expansive part for the car will be the new airbag system (drivers/passengers airbag and the airbag computer)

Buy it and Kouki front end that bitch!
LOL at them not showing any front view pics!

the car is jacked up on the right side. But the hoods highest peak is on the drivers side. That means the impact was harder over there and there is more damage on that side.
I would be careful, I think that pic is hiding more extensive damage.

Yah thats an easy fix...should buff right off...SYKE!!!
The whole front end crumpled in!!! Its not a simple matter of replacing the outside pieces, imagine what it looks like inside the engine bay. Yah sure the rad support is bent but getting the frame and the body panels to line up again will be a fucking nightmare (unless you think it to a professional body shop but they will butt rape you in labor). Cars a fucking lost hope, under neat the fenders, that shiet probably buckled all the way to strut tower.

i dunno if u have any experience with cars that have been in accidents, but its ganna take way more then that to "buckle at the strut tower" ...at hit like that will not do any extensive damage to the body, people that designed the s14 wearnt dumb asses when it came to safety and structure of the body
best way to tell if a body is still in good shape without any special tools , is by looking at the door lines...open and close the door and see how that works out, dose it seem to have a slight "stuck" feel to the opening and closing door? or will it close with a slight push etc...
if u have experience with hit cars and/or u have family and firends that have experience with that awell, talk to them and they will tell u that most likely its not that bad
YOU CANT TELL EXACTLY HOW BAD IT REALLY IS....with just that pic provided without looking at the car in person.
and from wat i see and my slight knowledge of body structure, its not that bad...but again, its needs to be inspected before final thought

screw it all. Buy a S14 with a blown motor/no motor for cheap, drop a SR20 or RB20 in and your still gonna save AND its easier. SR20 should be under 12 hour swap. or 9 hour drop in :)

This is truth. The frame rails are gonna be the real bish. Crumple zones are designed to do exactly that... they crumple. LOL

No one notice the Zenki in the bay and the S13 out front?

Not only is the front bashed in but the rear is too. IMHO the rear end on a 240 is more difficult to get straight then a front end. That trunk will never close straight again.

Hard to tell but I would be willing to bet the rails crumple zones are damaged.
