wow. that 323 looks like its had some serious abuse. I have yet to experience any of these issues and im pretty hard on my car.

This car was owned by a long-time customer of mine. Long story as to how I got it, but he basically didn’t want it any more because he was told by a collision shop that it was dangerous and unrepairable. However, I know for sure that he was pretty easy on it, and was the original owner. I bought it with about 120k on the clock.

@Jam

jesus jason i had no idea you purchased that car like that. that must have been scary when it broke…

Yep, it was broken when he dragged it in here and begged me to buy it.

@MPD47

Jam, usually they just make a clunking noise and you keep driving them :lol:

Which is what this guy did until the bodyshop freaked out when they saw it. It squeaked and clunked around for a few hundred miles beforehand.

Thank me later.

Interesting.

I wonder if I can be reimbursed for my expenses, even though I (we) did the repair.
