saving a salvage

carvalho360 · 11-25-2010, 01:01 PM

just finished repairing a 09 salvaged 370z, she feels like new. guy wrecked her with just 7,000 miles.
thought people would be happy to know theres one less wrecked 370 out in the world :P

Holy cow! Great job saving the car.

spearfish25 · 11-25-2010, 01:18 PM

Strong work! A bit personal but I'm curious. How much did you buy the wreck for and what do you pay to fix her up?

Beautiful job. It warms my heart when a Z is saved.

carvalho360 · 11-25-2010, 02:23 PM

bought it for 11 i think...and i think in total i paid 22 for it... a little more than expected but still, for a 09 w just 7k miles it was worth it

nice

Jamaica · 11-26-2010, 01:36 AM

carvalho360 · 11-26-2010, 07:27 AM

Nice job, hope you are thinking to keep it for a long time.

Because even that you saved all that money, it still will be a Salvage Title.
