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.

I think that is the replacement body panels for the right side.

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.
