Looks like gradual decelleration with no crush zone activity. Funny how there is little/no activity regarding stolen airbags on these cars. When the airbags get deployed, the cars are salvage, so no replacement market.

I bet you'll find some nice interior parts in this car! I'd also bet the engine and trans are worth a look.

Default That's what I was thinking...

Engine &amp; trans would certainly be worth looking at. I wonder what kind of reserve is on it.

Default Plus it has sport seats

I keep looking at it and it looks like an A8L....but it has the S8 instrument cluster.

You could sell the armrest, seats, wheels, maybe mirror caps.

I would buy the tranny and rear end!
