Oh for god sakes! That's probably my car that fell off the transport truck and why it's taking so long to get here. Boy, that would be perfect! I think I would just give up.

What is up with the one picture of the red? Love how they are selling it for "brand new" with a salvaged title.

Are our seats really Italian leather? If so...I didn't know that.

Wow, the first few pics didn't look that bad, I was almost considering making a bid despite already owning a Silver 8. Then I saw the last few picks and damn, that thing is hurting. Its a sad sight really, such a pity when they are so young....just 5 miles. Tradgedy.

daymmmmm, is that the airbags that deployed??? Just how far did this thing get dropped? That seems like a hell of a lot of damage for a drop.

i think it dropped off the truck but the truck was backed up to the edge of a mountain and it landed in a big red paint bucket..(explains the red rx8 pick)... then tumbled into a car wash turned back to the cursed silver.... and thats about it

i love how the 'only 5 miles' line is supposed to be a selling point of the auction. like it matters when the car is totalled like that.

That 8 is in grave shape!! Much worse than what they describe. I'm no expert, but to me it looks like $20k in damage!!

Yeah...what's up with the VR shot?

Yeah somehow I'm thinking that $1,500 to fix a bent frame is a bit optomistic.

At the price it's selling at right now, simply $6100 for a parts car is a good deal, just the engine tranny would be worth at least half that and then other parts too.

That actually didn't look that bad, until you get to the pic of the pass/front side. There is no way that thing fell loading onto the truck unless it was off the boat side ONTO a truck... :D

Parts alone probably still makes it a decent deal for 6K...

Don't think that's a good idea - the garage might burn down, or possibly a truck loaded with new silver Mazdas will crash into it.
