Default Wow! Cheap accident damaged Focus RS on eBay!

Sorry if it's a repost:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-FOCUS-RS-...QQcmdZViewItem

Front doesn't look too bad, but would the damage to the pillar be easily fixable?

Could make a fantastic bargain for someone

Was it originally anybody's off here?

Its only cheap when the hammer goes down the price it is currently at means bugger all!
A mate of mine has just bought a perfectly good Focus RS for 12k so they are getting cheaper as the novelty wears off

True Spadge. If it went for 8k ish though I reckon it'd be worth it.

Probably mate but you would need to see it in the flesh to know its true worth.

can't believe the insurance compnay would write it off [which i assume is whats happened here] i mean they fetch around the 14k£ mark and in my opinion theres only what £1k's worth of damage?

Maybe it was stolen and smashed? Perhaps the customer didnt want it back


Maybe it was stolen paid out on insurance THEN recovered, by that time its been written off...

I would say judging by the damage to the A pillar and the fact someone has taken off the door rubbers, the shell may be twisted on the front end.... Possibly "jigable" but I would hardly say it is cheap, I mean what is a repaired cat C or D Focus RS worth???... A repaired cat C or D ECos is only gonna be worth 9-11k (maybe lower really) anyway...


Financially these repairs can be deceiving, my van got hit up the arse last week, bumper, back panel, boot floor, tailgate.... £2.5k's worth of damage
