Re: Scary site

Osman,

I looked at the site.  I'm no bodyman, but have been in and around wrecking
yards for about half my life.  To a body guy, the damage on that A8 would
be minor.  I suspect it is selling for so cheap, however, because it has
some engine or at least engine accessory damage.

Just MHO.
