Also, the video is private. :/

Video is not running?

I used Bay once and that was it. If they were so specialized, they should have been able to figure out power downstream off the + clamp....just saying.

To quote you " experience and knowledge to take care of your problem". They obviously did not in your application.

Yeah, I tried on two devices and it says the video is private. Why will it have a salvage title?

Because it was written of by insurance company due to estimated repair cost was higher than certain percentage of official value off the car.

It is a 2004, X5 4.4 tapped in rear, No Start, No Mileage disclosed,
Metallic Black with Truffle Brown interior, Sun roof - not Pano.
Self leveling susp, Winter package, folding mirrors.
Very neat interior, almost brand new performance tires.
As Car went alive, mileage 130K, started within 3 sec of cranking after couple of month standing. Cost me $4800 (4200+ delivery from Boston and some fees) It will have salvage title.
If you have any particular questions - please ask away.

Right price if all works, Body work on rear hopefully will be bumper cover, support pieces, but not structure. Needs a lower hatch also?

Should I take the credit for this?
The important thing is you got it started.

Looks like bumper took most of the hit, muffler canisters got dented but not significantly, also left mufler canister cracked the plastic box/housing where battery resides, brackets- muffler hangers bent and lower trunk gate dented at the buttom, i am counting on finding bumper cover and gate in the same color.
The plastic box should not be the problem at all, I could fix it but why bother, anyone parting out similar vehicle would most likely have it as it is not wear and tear item.

Right price and right choice

All can be found and fixed, drive it or flip it!

Speaking of flipping, I found a note under the wiper blade today " if you considering selling this car, please call me" did not call as we had a family drama - my 10 year old do not want to do homework" but will call tomorrow.. Odds are it is some gypsy wants to do me a huge favor and make a generous offer of $1000

[EH6TunerDaniel]

Haha call and see what they offer. Do you have it in your name yet?
