Will never understand how someone can ride around in what equates to a self-propelled dumpster.

And the next question would be-
How much money (profit) would it be worth to fix up and resale this rolling dumpster with "undefined body fluids" in it?
Since your basically anonymous-why don't you share a profit statement if you indeed buy this dumpster and fix it and then resell it. Please include your hours spent cleaning/repairing/pickup as well as parts bought.
I don't count my time in the equation, gets too complicated. If I add it all up it sometimes comes to less than $5 an hour I'm making if there are things that come up I didn't expect. I think I can get it done by spending $1,000 to $1,500 assuming there isn't much more damage beyond the door or something mechanical.
How much does having a salvage title affect resale value?
I'd guess $1500 to $2000 less if it's done well.
It looks like there's A pillar damage and I bet that wheel took some of the impact so you might be looking at suspension as well. Hard to tell, but it looks like there's a little chunk taken out of that LF wheel. Add in missing keys, unknown mechanical and mileage and there's no money to be made here.
If everything goes great, you'd still end up with a beat up Versa that has a salvage title. Would make an entertaining thread though!

Wonder why it's marked biohazard?
In the 6th pic the guy's foot is still in that shoe.
Found out the biohazard is mold from the broken window letting water in. I can deal with that. Can't be any worse than this Ranger I had.
What about the undefined body fluids?
I don't believe those model Versas had any sort of chip key. A locksmith should be able to make a key for you.
The roof airbag looks to have popped as well. Going to need some hinge pillar time too. Hard pass for me. Not to mention the mice that have been eating the leftovers out of it at Copart for a few months. Edit-looks like maybe a seat airbag if these have them went too. Look closely at the left side seat bolster, I can see some fraying or threads showing. Insurance company/copart may have jammed the bag back in the seat. Or...a fat person slid in and out of it and wore the seat edge, which is a total possibility by the landfill visible inside the car.
Now if AutoMechanic said that, this thread would be locked by now.
Quite possibly! But I don’t see skinny people wear out the seat bolsters or door weatherstripping.
My guess is that someone was living in this car and then they died.
A lot of people live in wrecked cars.
Live in THAT part of town do ya?
The whole region where I live is like that.
You mean the whole country?
Man those conditions have to be reducing your life expectancy..... Is it worth it???Found out the biohazard is mold from the broken window letting water in. I can deal with that. Can't be any worse than this Ranger I had.
