With the impact and fire about the only thing left are the bumper, sideskirt, and maybe 3 wheels.
You really think there damage to the engine it self??sigpic

There is a chance the engine is unharmed but I see a crack in the runner in the intake manifold and the strut brace is bowed which means those shock towers are a LOT closer than they should be.
If that engine IS bad I cant see you getting 3k out of it easily because of the fire. Fire kills a lot, even more than it touches.Im now E30less.

I just looked at the pics...and yea, id probably buy it, for $3k the car thats a steal.
The angle it sits at is surprizing. As long as the block isn't broken i would buy it.

Thanks for al the feedback......
I thinkI take a look at the car in person, as I know first hand take pictures can sometime make things look worse then they are (or even hide some stuff too).sigpic
