I have the oportunity to purchase one with some suspension damage..It needs 7500 dollars worth of suspension parts and about 15k in body panels..I can get the car really really cheap but for the life of me..(Not that i really care about supercars) I cant see the value..Its not the AWD version but when i put it inside the office at work it seems to be an easy fix for me?

Im thinking of fixing it and driving around for a year before i sell it..

My question is how much is one with 1300 miles worth and how do they perform?

it's fast enough... for that price, though it'll have a salvage title?
not good in Supercar resale... but anyways, definitely a status symbol.

go for it. 2002 Diablo? mmm instant sex. lol
If you want looks, go for it.

Did you pick this up? I just looked it up online and it's looks really cool.

Kinda hard to beat the sound and appeal of a v-12...

Well im still haveing a hard assed time getting parts prices for the stuff i need..I can get the car for 75K but from what i gather so far ill need about 40K to finish it completely..It does have 783 miles on it but it may sell before i decide to make a move..They are asking 90 for it as is..I wont make a move till i find all the parts used.

Yea salvage title and $120K invest in this economy? That one may be a tough one to estimate cost and demand after repair. Maybe invest in a nice 5% bank account.

I think that was the one..A guy came in today and talked about that..We purchased it from the veristar auction in rome ga. so its quite a possibility...dont think that many people smack up such a car in the same area often..

Im talking with a guy in cali that has one less drivetrain and right side damge this weekend.

Where are you finding a 5% bank account? I'd like to hook up with that!

Well used to be 5%, ah the good ole days. I think it may be 3% today. Still a better investment than most automobiles.
