That resulted in replacing the
Front Carrier Bumper Reinforcement
Hood hinges - though I don't think was necessary
Car drove perfectly well so we kept driving
Rock chip on the freeway cracked the windshield
Then the drive belt snapped, apparently the harmonic balancer was loose and caused this, so these were replaced

All work has been performed by known shops - invoices available
Car ran great - better than it ever had.
Then I got rear ended
Rear tailgate is damaged and will need to be replaced
Driver side tail light is shattered and will need replacement
I have left the marking the body shop made so that it is clear that this listing has full disclosure.
My daughter no longer wants to drive the car so I'm not going to fix it.
Car still runs great, stereo sound fantastic and the AC and everything else works great. Interior is in great shape.
Brand new car cover, Rockford Fosgate speakers for front doors and front fog lights that have not been installed included
I'm not sure how much to ask for - looking for suggestions.
This car deserves to have some fun on a track.
