BTW, my internet is back on. Tech spent almost an hour here replacing coax and connectors because of the **** poor job the previous tech did.

Surprised you did not fix it yourself- you are very tech savvy.....

Only took one pic, of me towing it, more to follow. Car is in overall excellent condition, very well maintained except appears to have had a very small but long time trunk leak. Common issue with the 2000-2005 Bonnevilles,but the owner appears to have never caught it. The spare tire looks like it never was removed.

Has a goof NY inspection through JUN 2019, and the car has very little underside rust. Headlights are in good shape, along with no delamination of tail lights, I suspect the car was garage kept and off the roads when they were salted.

Not happy after inspecting the collision damage. My hope was just to swap the right rear door, and live with the quarter panel damage. The hit looks like it twisted the form where the door closes, preventing the door from opening and likely requiring some work to replace the door- no instant door swap.

The test drive went well, drives and runs great. A bit disappointing the tires are dry rotted- always hopeful for good tires when buying a auction car at auction because of a collision.

My cost - $495 to the auction, $55 to U-haul for the tow dolly, and $80 in fuel. $630.

More pics to follow.

I wouldn't be surprised if that B pillar is compromised.

What are your plans with it? Part it out? That'* $600 for the engine alone.

You can have it for what I have in it. Not sure what I am going to do with it, so clean I thought maybe find a Bonnie of the same color with light front end damage and swap parts. Who knows, but if you want it.... it is yours.

I wouldn't know what to do with it sir. Body work isn't my forte. lol

I am likely going to scrap it. A shame as it is in very good condition mechanically, and the interior is very nice for its age. It drove fantastic.

So what will you get for scrap these days?.....100 bucks?

MC,

Funny the rear tailights in above average condition are selling for well over $200. The front SLE/ SSEI front bumper are also selling on Ebay for over $200 in good condition. The GXP parts market is dead, completely dead. But the SLE/SSEi market is doing ok, as people are keeping the Bonnevilles and the parts are becoming scarce.

What I will likely do is find a 2000-2005 Bonneville with front end damage and take two and make one. Who knows...

Junk yard will pay between 100-200. Some of the value for them is the catalytic converter.... I do not know why. Last month scrap steel went up big, but came right back down.

Sounds like a good plan. If I had the room I would do similar things but I only have a one car garage and one car driveway.
