The damage we're seeing in this pic is from a crash though...They lift cars with forklifts at scrap yards its what they do.

That may be, but when you buy the salvage you have the extra cost of their twattery !!Who cares, its not excatly had one careful owner has it. Its his scrap so he can do what he wants to it
And they still treat it like that when it's not their car...fecking R soles

Can you expect the average salvage yard to know how these plastic cars are put together, and how to treat them?
It still gives tears to my eyes, to see a car go from a set of new clams, to a complete scrap, but so be it.

But, at least it's in better condition than that Gumpert, that was posted on here.
