UP FOR BID OR SALE IS A 2008 FORD TAURUS TOTALLED OUT ON JANUARY 7th 2012 SOUTH TENNESSEE 12 MILES FROM THE ALABAMA LINE. I WENT TO SLEEP AND HIT TREES RIGHT SIDE FIRST THEN HEAD ON. I DON'T THINK IT IS REBUILDABLE. SEEN FROM THE LEFT REAR LOOKS PERFECTLY FINE. BOTH RIGHT DOORS WERE RIPPED OFF. DISTROYED BUMPER AND SHOVED MOTOR BACK NEAR THE FIRE WALL. I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE MOTOR MOUNT IS BROKEN. IN THE CRASH THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL IS CRACKED (SEE PHOTO) HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN HOLDING AIR SINCE JANUARY I DON'T SEE HOW FROM LOOKING AT IT. ALSO IT BROKE THE RIGHT TIE ROD AND WAS DIFFICULT GETTING ON THE TRAILER. I HAVE SINCE WELDED THE TIE ROD TOGETHER SO WE CAN MOVE IT AROUND. YES IT RUNS NO FLUIDS SO I JUST MOVE IT OUT OF THE GARAGE WHEN I NEED TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. IT WILL PULL ITSELF ON TO A TRAILER. I DID PUT WHAT I THINK IS A LOW RESERVE A LOCAL JUNK YARD OFFERED ME A PRICE AND THAT IS THE RESERVE. OH THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG AND STEERING WHEEL WAS DAMAGED BY ME. IT DID NOT GO OFF AND I WANTED TO SEE IF IT WAS STILL THERE. AS IT TURNS OUT THAT WAS A $300 TO $400 MISTAKE ITS RUNED. GOOD LUCK, DAVID PS, THE AUTO CHECK INDICATES UNIBODY AND OR FRAME DAMAGE TO THE LEFT SIDE. WELL THE LEFT FRONT FINDER AND THE LEFT FRONT DOOR WERE REPLACED AND THE PAINT MATCH WAS EXCELLENT. I WORKED FOR A DEALER AT THAT TIME AND I GOT A VERY GOOD DEAL THE CAR WAS PUT ON A RACK AND NO DAMAGE REPEAT NO DAMAGE TO THE FRAME WHAT SO EVER!! THE CAR DROVE EXCELLENT. IT WAS A WONDERFUL NICE ROOMY SEDAN AND HAD EXCELLENT POWER. IT WAS DROVE TO PANAMA CITY NUMEROUS TIMES LAST YEAR. IT AVERAGED 25+ MPG. I AM RETIRED FROM FULL TIME NOW. IT WAS VERY COMFORTABLE CAR FOR MYSELF AND MY BROTHER WE ARE BOTH RETIRED, FAT (260 LB.) EACH, DUMB, AND HAPPY. IT WAS A GREAT CAR BEFORE I GOT HOLD OF IT. ANYWAY NONE OF THE DAMAGE MATTERS NOW. WE ARE AS IS WHERE IS. . THANKS, DAVID
