The Auction Salvage Thread

Starting a new thread, as though I rarely want to to spoil a hidden gen in online auctions, I'm happy to serve as spoiler to the salvage yards! If you're in the LA area and want some alloy wheels, this burned out i-MiEV with good wheels ought to sell for less than the price of wheels. (Fire wasn't hot enough tto pop the tires, but burned out the cabin and motor bay. Nothing else appears salvageable, but there's a chance you could be surprised by the condition of the pack...

Re: The Auction Salvage Thread

Looks like there’s also two crashed silver 2012s, both with damage to the front right suspension. The SE Premium looks to be quite repairable (as long as they rolled up the driver window).

Kinda curious on the backstory on some of these cars. Sadly, the burned car looks like the fire started underneath and breached the interior, so I really have my doubts on that battery pack surviving. If memory serves, is this the first I-MiEV to burn up?
