Way over priced. Car is worth probably 18k fixed and I would guess you are looking at about 10k of work I'd be looking to spend about 5k buying it. It needs a new ECU by the looks of things, new front wing, bumper, hood, inner wing, rear wing, headlight and by the look of them they were HID converted. Frame looks to be undamaged from the pictures. The work would be relatively simple to do for a competent mechanic but parts are doing to be the expensive things then you've got the hassle of getting them from the US.

Hey matey,would make a good parts car for 5k .There are a few c5 parts available over here
hood, bumper,would of thought you could repair rear section? and yeah you would have to do the work
yourself,maybe someone else to paint.Like most things like this, probably a few more probs that you cant see.
Cheers

Not to mention it would still be Cat C when you had finished it. I was looking at this the other day and the damage, whilst mainly cosmetic is quite extensive. I don't see any cost effective repair here and sadly think it is probably best broken..........

I just wish I could afford it to rip out the lump box and drop it into my C3 :-)
