Price is way too high for $2,500. Just because its an IX with mild miles means nothing as it was rolled. Doesn't even have IX seats anymore.

It would be hard to make your money back if you were to buy it and part it out. Unless you can get it cheaper, id pass

I'd offer that guy a pack of gum and some lint. The usable parts in the car are worth like 500 bucks total at best.

It would need the 9 seats with red stitching, a good motor, turbo, tcase, tranny and rear end then I'd buy it. Pack of gum

Not worth it no matter what you end up using it for. Would take way too much $ to get it driving, would take way too long to part it out to make your money back

Looks like all the good stuff has been picked off already. Pass unless you need an interior and could get it for much less.

It could pass for a Toyota Prius with some dent repair and paint. Unless the drivetrain is solid and the motor is somewhat salvageable then I wouldn't touch it. If it's been rolled there is no telling what could be messed up, it could be a $2,500 piece of slag for all you know.

If you have deep pockets and are willing to accept the fact that you will not get your money back out of this. But like i said. If you have alots of green and your willing to throw it into a rolled over car. Go ahead. But I must ask you to make a killer rebuild thread I would pass on the fact that I dont have alot of money. and that car isnt worth 2.5K

For what you would have to pay to get it useful, it would be cheaper to buy a high mileage VIII.
