I need help with my wrecked lexus...

David Griffith 2 · Jun 4, 2006

Hey guys,

I have a 1993 ES300. Black on black. (pictures in library) I wrecked it about 7 months ago in an accident on 400. I went out and bought the trac the next day. Anyway, I need help selling the lexus. The back of the car is trashed on the driverside corner. I just had the tranny rebuilt , and the engine gaskets re-sealed. (oil leak problems, fixed it right up) The leather on the inside is in great shape. I don't know who to contact regarding selling it. It would prob just be good for parts. Can you guys reccomend some type of service that might want it. I still start it about once a week just to keep her runnin. It drives but I have no tags for it so I don't know what to do with it....It's paid for , I have the title. It's just wasting away..

Thanks for any suggestions.

You good with wrenches? Take it apart yourself and part it out on eBay. My friend wrecked his Lexus, same model in gold, the junkyard offered him $500 for it, we took it to his place and had it apart in a weekend. Got $200 for the wheels alone, and he made well over $1k. Double what the junkyard offered.

If it drives,Take it to auction and adervertise the good points on it....

Buyer may have the parts to fix it, you probably get more than salvage..

Good idea I can get about half the stuff off of it. It's the other half I'm worried about... I'm about to throw the 18's you see in the pic on ebay. Right now they're in the bed of the trac WITH THE TONNAU COVER ON IT! ALL 4 18" WHEELS AND RUBBER FIT IN THERE!. I was real surprised. (Had to throw that in, just saw you're bedsize post Jeff) I already threw the factory wheels back on it, new tires on those also.

I don't have a tag ,so I can't drive it. I don't even know where the closest auction is. I'm in downtown Atlanta. I should look into that though.. I wonder if I could get a car dolly..hmm Thanks for the suggestions.

Or try to sell the car on EBAY, I have seen quite a few cars on EBAY that would make excellent part cars.

Have a good one

Contact LKQ in Jenkinsburg. They might give you what you want for it. It's a huge salvage yard and I know they always send buyers to auctions for wrecked vehicles.
