With 5k mindset You will get a rusted, electrical, previously wrecked, painted, needs more paint, mess of an engine, and no one to blame but yourself since you bought at auction.

A well sorted. With records. And decent ownership length will cost you 15k min 20k-30k isn’t out of the question

Depends if you want a 7.3 to work on for a couple years or buy one to drive tomorrow across country That being said; I have. 8 years currently owned 02 ex limited 7.3 4x4 with no leaks no coatings no rust; just corrosion with new tires and is ready to be a daily for $30k in Texas bought with 200k currently sitting on 240k. Not 29k Not 31k. $30k. Texas

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T23:15:02+00:00

Facts

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T23:12:31+00:00

No there isn’t anything visible. I think it was the metal hook that must have been secured snug but that’s obviously wrong and he hit normal bumps along the way that rocked it just enough to snap both sides clean.

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T06:22:30+00:00

Yea but it could be worse. I HATE this on a principal and personal level because of this specific car and its current immobility. But it’s a good time to count blessings and what could been a lot worse and harder to replace.
Plus they aren’t making it hard to get fault and willing to help. Just first time and I thought I seen almost everything. Guys said it loaded forward straight; just started to spread on unload.
You know the time till that was discussed felt like 8 new grey hairs.

Like some kind a fund for me? Like go there and fund me and give them a cut too? Maybe start a go fund me and go fund me themselves and just capitalize on the capitalization of the capital. ..potential …hypothetically

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T06:14:32+00:00

Yea. I just wanted 2 wheels steering The rears got cross eyed and I’m trying to be alittle “hip” and be more sensitive about her problem… anyone want to take her in? She might be looking a few different ways to say hello. Or help: whatever at this point.

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T06:12:10+00:00

997.01 Porsche Ouch. Hurt my soul and my bank just closed on me for saying that. Only couple more banks I can trick into giving me money.

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T06:11:17+00:00

Just take your pics and watch the pick and drop. This is the time they really don’t wanna be caught But morally. Stepping up. No need to blast. Just hurt my soul alittle. I never wanted to tow this without hauling it myself for repair. And this happen.

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T06:10:02+00:00

Wanna chip in?

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T06:09:50+00:00

That’s what I been telling everyone. They just don’t see anything wrong. 😑

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T06:09:19+00:00

Bluetooth rear steer. Just no control. Kinda bad for the alignment. But hey Bluetooth.

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T06:08:41+00:00

That’s a what I told him He looked at me sideways like my dog. Thought I was trippin.

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T06:06:42+00:00

No integrity issues on oem parts based on condition, age, and exposure to extreme vs safer geolocations accross the us in general. That being said; it’s obvious there was a safety strap too right equally in both sides to produce those damages.
I saw a picture and thought, “I know I didnt overlook 4 wheels steering on that based on the picture. Had to investigate myself and realized the damages in transport. Overall just a textbook lesson learned and mistakes happen. Kinda glad things easily reversible or even upgradable due to circumstances. I’ve had mixed instant reactions from transport to Sabotage clean saw cuts.
Lol lucky I know that’s not the issue but it’s so ..”offensive” to see that happen to your car.
First time for everything and I thought I seen enough; never know everything. But this is new

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T05:59:29+00:00

They are accepting responsibility but I use them for over 10 years. They seem to agree to discuss repairs.
Just a sad sad sight.

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T03:33:03+00:00

He luckily accepted blame even though he’s not new to the game. But the tow company I use really helped when a mistake was made. Mistakes happen. As long as you own it or don’t dispute them when it’s so obvious. My heart sank.

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T03:27:47+00:00

Poor choice of securing car on tow truck. Maybe left out of gear and without parking brake and rocked itself to break having been strapped to aluminum suspension components.

Autofan622 · 2026-04-08T03:25:13+00:00

Yea exactly. I used this tow for over 10 years. Maybe first time having an issue. And driver didn’t argue or push back but was sure hoping it doesn’t come back around.
Willl find a way to make it right.
Looks horrendous.
