Ok, so one of my friends was doing donuts in the snow n hit a curb 2 days ago. He got a new car today. He's asking me if i want the car. Selling it pretty cheap, $800. its a 96 with 120,000 miles. He messed up the passenger side. I can see that the wheel is bent back closer to the door and is no longer in the middle of the wheel well.

So this is what i have in mind that needs to be fixed. Cv axle, control arm, new rim, n tie rod. I know the CV axle is rpetty easy to change, but not so sure about the bent control arm n tie rod. You guys think that nething else is messed up???? hit the curb less than 15 mph. on a 45 degree angle into the curb. Is it worth me buying it n fixing it? i doubt the tranny is messed up. It still drives, but can turn because the wheel hits the back of the of the body, its bascially touching it. worth it for me to buy it n fix it?? need answer asap....

 

This happened to me (in the rain with no ABS). Bent thr bent control arm and the axel. I had my mechaninc replace both. And mycar is fine nothing wrong at all. Honestly it shouldn't cost you more than he's selling it for. Go for it.

 

thanks....for the maxima's there's only one control arm right?? the lower right? you guys think that the hub got damaged?

 

bump.......

 

... theres a control arm on each side...

 

^ lol yea. 2 control arms. $800 is a steal for the car with what sounds like 350$ tops.

 

lol.....sorry, i fixed my other post, i meant one control on each side. cause there are cars with upper and lower control arms. but i think the max only has the lower....thanks guys!

Well you also know what else is a steal????? The 98 ford windstar i bought for $500 (off of grilfriends parents) -= )

 

you cna easily sell it to make another 1200 bucks or so. even with the damage. (assuming everything else works)

 

a steal at that price
