The auction listed his car as a normal C320 so it sold for $1,000. It was hiding $25,000 in RennTech modifications! In this video, I discover all the mods its hiding like the RennTech built engine, big Brembo brakes, custom wheels, performance suspension a carbon fiber intake and more! This is the super rare Mercedes C38 and was just sitting at an auction with a clean title and in perfect running and driving condition. Enjoy!

Even if it wasn't a real Renntech C38, $1000 is a steal for such a clean c-class. Great buy
i never got less then $500 for a car at a junk yard.. any thing that drives is worth $1000..
until the roof leaks, ecu fails, or numerous other electrical problems these cars are notorious for lol
@@1984-f7q And surface rust if you don't take care of it but i know Alex will, like just look at that color.
@@ibtixgaming7168 to be honest, i dont see many w203s with the rust, ive seen a lot of rust in the last years of the w202s(99/2000). luckily, my 202 and 203 have no rust lol
@@1984-f7q Yeah those rust even with low miles on them! but you live in new jersey im guessing? i live in norway and i see many W203's with rust on them, they rust to easy but people just drive them and don't care :/ but i'm glad your 202 and 203 doesn't have any! my W210 has alot because the previous owner (first owner) didn't care it well but im fixing on it soon!
I searched the VIN and an old ad comes up for this car for sale in Chicago with 98000 miles, it's 100% legit.
I just saw it today in Chicago suburb!!
I bought a C55 about a month ago (only 52k miles!) that had a RennTech badge on the back, I emailed the VIN to RennTech and they were able to tell me what had been done to it.
Also, it does have seepage in the rear main seal, but I haven't observed any oil loss so I'll leave it for a while.

Why buy a car with problems?
@@mikestackz854 A car enthusiast wouldn't ask this question, that's like asking why you would date someone with problems. Every car has issues, knowing what they are and how to fix them is what is important.
Darin D I’m not I really don’t care about cars that much, I was just wondering why buy a car with problems
@@mikestackz854 Understandable, basically the answer is like I said, every car either has a problem or the potential for problems. I traded my 2015 VW GTI that just went out of warranty because if a water pump or turbo went out, which could cost hundreds for the former and thousands for the latter, I'd feel horrible because while I liked the car I didn't love it. If I have to invest a couple thousand in the Mercedes C55 in the next couple of years, I'll be happy with that and perhaps even proud of it because I have a strong love and emotional attachment to the car. I get so much more joy out of this car with a problem here and there than a problem free car. If I could afford a problem free car that would excited me in the way that this does I would be all for it, but for my situation and priorities this makes sense for me! 👍👍
Worked on a 1997 Renntech SL74 years ago and besides the brutal 575Hp, what I noticed was the way the tranny shifted, the conversion was done in 1998 so I don’t know what Renntech did but that 5G-Tronic tranny was fantastic for its time, shifted really fast and banged gears like a Turbo 400 was amazing, man what a beast that car was, the entire rear suspension was heim jointed and poly bushed, handled like a true sports car. Car was abused by a stock broker and repoed so was in poor shape when I got it, brakes were toast, wheels were wasted, hydraulic leveling blown out but I got it back together, was leased to someone else and never saw it again, absolutely loved that car!

Send the VIN to renntech
But where is the C63 the withe one
5000
@@tjts1 but this car is apparently 2001, and the M112 E37 was made available only in 2003. I seriously believe this car had its block bored by Renntech, and had the oil cooler also added by Renntech.
C320 owner here (85k miles). A stock c320 doesn’t shift like that and definitely can’t roast the tires from a roll lol. I think that thing has some pretty significant power over stock! It’s also strange how this car doesn’t even have the sport package (amg body kit, amg suspension). They basically sent out a base model 320. Somebody had some $$ back in the day!
I’d definitely put my money on that being a legit Renntech car. Sebring muffler, all the renntech goodies makes it seem so.
What about Kleemann? They make some insane mods too...
Shaking while driving,the center driveshaft bearing. $13 fix. And also check the rear diff mount bushing $3 fix and it happens always along with center driveshaft bearing. Cheap easy fix. Good video. Kept me watching and commenting. Sorry for multiple comments
The best Mercedes TH-camr to be honest!
Thanks Hani!!!
MercedesSource want's to know your location.
I agree
@@SprayStein Alex more entertaining. MercedesSource has lost me lately with the boring diesel videos!
He is an MB mechanic genius, entertaining, educational and good looking. What's not to like ??
MB C32 AMG brakes will bolt right across to any R170 or Chrysler Crossfire. *All* those vehicles already use the same master cylinder. I bought the parts brand-new from a MB dealer and did it for the front brakes. The C32 calipers are 4-piston fixed and replace single-piston sliding calipers. 345mm rotors replace 300mm rotors. It makes for a nice little upgrade that's super simple to do.
It started life as a run of the mill 225 horsepower C320, albeit one with a not that common cobalt blue metallic paint. The cobalt blue color is a really nice subdued blue that looks elegant, but not as boring as black.The car was sent to Renntech where the 3.2 was boredout to 3.8 and some additional enhancements, such as exhaust, intake, and rims were added. All completed the car is running a significant bump in horsepower all lag free and normally aspirated. Specs aren’t given, but I beleive the 3.8 is rated at 291 bhp and 305 lb-ft of torque and the cost of that increase from Renntech was $19,000. That is a lot of cash for the same amount of horsepower to be had from a 50 shot of NOS. Total upgrades on the car according to the seller total $25,000.
What makes this a bit of an odd duck, is unlike other monster horsepower Renntech vehicles the horsepower isn’t huge, and the gains put it right into competition with the AMG C32 that also came out in 2001. The C32 pumps out 50 more horsepower from its supercharger making this Renntech model a bit superfluous.
3.8-liter engine conversion, bore 97 mm, 84 mm stroke,and compression ratio 10.0:1, RENNtech high performance camshafts, Ported and polished cylinder heads, balanced and blueprinted.
Additional oil cooler added. RENNtech modified air filter housing, RENNtech modified electronics, rev limit raised, faster throttle response, top speed limit raised.
Rear sport stainless steel RENNtech muffler (2 ½ dia.)
305 HP @ 5850 rpm
305 ft lbs of torque @ 2500-4700
RENNtech suspension with lowering springs (1.5 inches lower)and Adjustable RENNtech spec’d Koni shocks, rear adjustable lower control arm bushings for camber adjustment.

@@yourfather5324 Is that a euphemism?
@@yourfather5324 lol epic
After watching you.. I purchased a C230 1997 and started fixing it over the weekends. It’s all sorted except the differential leak. I am a new DIY er and it’s fun. Thanks for the inspiration.
You think the c230 is fun... Wait till you get in an amg! Especially m112k(which he mentioned for the 1st time this vid) and m113k
Josh G This is the first car I started working on.. i’d love to get an AMG someday.
I'm actually about to pick up a c230 that has a renntech package. Wonder how much fun it will be. Its a 6 speed standard too.
@@TheShadow2056 i have a c32 amg... If rentech cant get the 38 to match it's performance... I doubt a 4cl supercharged would be even close. But im definitely curious
@@joshg4312 I was pretty curious myself. It looks authentic to detail as far as being a renntech car. It has the wheels, shift knob, body kit, supercharger and pulley upgrades. Im just wondering what it puts down compared to the stock version as I've never driven one stock or modded.
The color is called amethyst metallic. That car was in Florida until 2011 when it was brought to Illinois. It was listed for sale at a Toyota dealership before being sold at auction this year so my best guess it was a trade-in. I do have some more information if you’d like to reach you I’m glad to try to help.
This right here is why I subscribed to this channel. Nice to see a rare Mercedes.
I don't know if someone's given you the colour of the car, but Mercedes paint code is 994U - Amethyst Violet Metallic. REALLY a sweet car! Looks fantastic. Your friend managed to get an insane deal!
Samcrac out here getting everyone hooked on auction cars lol
Word
How cool
You verified and everything dog...
thankfully he is not like him yet!
I used to bounce auction cars.
check the VIN and look into its history, the wheels are the same just dipped or coated. Interior is dipped the shift knob is still in wood grain. Check the miles in its history. I there was only one for sale in the area at the time 5 years ago and it comes up again, good chance its the same car if it never sold at 12 thousand. Owner probably couldn't afford it anymore.
"Some cars are rare because no one wanted them"
I can live with that :)
I’d fix her up, repaint, repaint back wheels, grill , and headlights back to stock and this would be a pristine rare car in the collection
No more awesome a feeling than when something like this turns up. I smiled for days when I bought my Peugeot 405 Mi16 after finding out it had been fettled by a well known Peugeot tuning company
What an awesome deal! I work for ZF (who owns Sachs), and correct they're not stock. There's a good chance the shocks are Sachs as well, I'll do some research into it.
Thanks brother!
You Sure? My W203 C30 Amg did come with both springs and shocks by Sachs and I believe they are the original ones, because the car was less than 100k miles and it had only 6 years (bought it in 2010)
Spinnaker if you got a factory AMG, yeah it makes sense they'd be Sachs. However, this car started life as a normal C320, so I really doubt it would come with Sachs from the factory, as they're more performance oriented.
@@MotownModels Cool! Thanks for the answer!
No need to research. I can see it here th-cam.com/video/VEsG2vsu_1s/w-d-xo.html even on non maximised screen. White letters above the Sporting. Only thing is, I thought only Koni painted their shocks red (oil filled) or yellow (gas filled)
Color is called dark adriatic blue metallic. It has micah in the paint which causes it to shift black.
Amethyst Violet Metallic (994)
Why doesn't the owner just call RennTech down here in Florida and give them the VIN, I'm fairly confident that they keep records on the cars they build. You do know the guy who founded RennTech used to work for AMG before it was merged with Mercedes.
I love hidden Jems like this, love the content Alex
Sebring is a subsidiary of Remus. In the 80s Remus was a popular tuning brand, but still today. In addition, the company Remus today develops exhaust systems for special models of many brands. You can compare Remus to Borla in the States.
you definitely need a bigger space for you car collections
You ain't kidding!
M112 is famous for rear main seal leaks... my CLK320's bell housing always looks absolutely soaked with oil but it leaks less than half a quart between 10k mile oil changes.
You can tell by your voice you are genuinely stoked on it
OZ has made wheels for F1 and WRC cars, one of the best wheel makers for sure.
_Always looking forward to my Saturday mornings and Alex Palmeri from _*_LegitStreetCars._*_ Fresh coffee, and I'm all set. Looking forward to your Tesla content, and the mystery car reveal in your garage too._
I've got a '04 c320 sport- definitely doesn't burn rubber without being on a hill lol. Esp off and manual shift gets a little chirp, but not like that. Also wish I'd just gotten another S class with more miles on it than this lower mile C class. Great DD, but it's missing a chunk of the Mercedes experience- cheap feeling interior with middle of the road options and "meh" performance just isn't working well for me
Amethyst Violett metallic
(only available for Avantgarde and amg models)
Code 994
lol got the same color on my c240
Pretty clean car whether it's real or not! I'll trade you a 1990 740 GLE Volvo? LOL or I'll give you two grand? Don't think I've ever owned the car that didn't leak in some way shape or form? Maybe one out of a hundred didn't leak? Once again great video, really enjoy them, I'm a fan of high mileage real cars that we can possibly obtain
Great find. If you can get this back into near perfect condition I think it will be an excellent piece to your collection.
With new headlights, grill and the intake snorkels replaced I would bet it took a front end hit between the old listing and now.
The factory injectors in my SLK320 are blue bosch ones. Its quite funny I've followed a very similar mod path on my SLK320, bigger air box/intake runners, custom exhaust, M113 thottle body, CL500 brake swap, Billstien B12 suspension kit. That thing chirps the tyres on a 20 MPH downshift too lol. Awesome new car tho!
Very cool you don't see too many modding the SLK320. Love those little things.
It's likely worth about $10k or more. May be it's not desirable as a c320, but it's renntech so if it has official paperwork, it's worth good money
And no a c320 can not burn tires like that, mine sure as hell don't lol and I have a 2002 C320 and a 2003 c240, and neither have oil coolers at the oil filter
Not sure why your C320 does not have an oil cooler connected to oil filter housing. Mine 03 C320T has one same as this C38.
US spec c320 did not come with oil coolers. You are right, I’m pretty sure this is a real renntech built engine.
@@goldsweep yea took me a minute of going through WIS to realize that oil coolers weren't on us variants
@Enrique of course it can. Fit winter tyres like on the video and you will see clouds of smoke
@@Egon1982 not practical for Texas, I'll stick to drenching them in tire shine for all my burnout needs.. 😂
I'm so happy for you but dude, you have no idea how jealous I am!!! A 2001 C240 rust-bucket was my first car so I loved these c38 and c55 amg models 🔥
Also it’s killing me the auction world is becoming more popular. I’ve been buying bmws and mercedes from copart and silicate auctions for years and with more light being shown on this area it’s going to flood the market with buyers and prices will no longer stay low like this. I’m glad more people are interested in keeping cool stuff on the road but the days of cool stuff cheap and making profit on them when selling are disappearing slowly as we go.
Maverick Smith bro for real!!! I bought a 2014 m4 in 2014 for 26k and fixed it for 8k 34k all in for a brand new m4 with 300 miles, deals like that do not exist at all anymore because of all the youtubers telling people
To get on copart and IAAI
Joshua Duarte I used to be able to buy 3-4 cars a year but since prices have gone dumb thanks to over exposure I’m down to 1-2 cars. Makes it difficult for sure. The only real huge benefit is more and more people are getting comfortable with purchasing a rebuilt title car. The sale price has less of a hit with the branded title at least in my experience but still.
Yep. Here in San Diego by the border, I remember when only a certain circle knew about the car auctions here in the border. You would make a solid extra stream of income by buying cars and fixing them in Tijuana Mexico for cheap labor but quality work. Everybody was getting their ass handed to them at the stealership or at private dealers buying new shit. Now the whole social media cascade erupted and dropped the dime on us
Lool at this youtuber dropping the ball
Had a 99 c230 kompressor. Quick lil 4 banger
I would definately refinish those OZ Nova wheels back to silver as OEM. The shock absorbers are Konis and are adjustable so you can make them stiffer If they are a bit soft from wear.
Late reply here, I'm the new owner and the wheels are powdercoated back to silver 🤟
I have a 2000 E320 4MATIC with 262k miles, no leak on the rear main seal but the valve covers do "sweat" oil.
Man, I miss my W203. I always wanted this purple when I was younger too. Loving the Mercedes content. Really making me want another 😎 👍🏻

The cars value is upped by 19,000 dollars after the renntech mods were done to the the car and if I were you I would pull the wrap off of the center console to see if it’s the real deal
Just as im struggling to get away from modding cars (my 02 C5z blew up on the dyno after a 5 month chassis off full refresh), you come at me with auction cars....damn it.
Sorry bro, I had to. There are so many crazy deals to be had.
Lol..😂
Also the wheels have those little holes for the wheel alignment thing Mercedes uses. As far as I know only Mercedes uses those type of wheel alignment machine where it has long thin spokes which go into the small holes on the wheel. Usually aftermarket ones would not have those holes and if it was by a reputable tuner they would probably make a wheel with it if it was for a Mercedes. Other wheels without those holes use the normal clamp style wheel alignment thing.
I think there is a screw in the back right tire. Edit: I meant this literally. Look at 20:00.
good eye.
TheFiremonkeyman there is
Ha just read this and spotted it at 7:38
@@richhart2505 its in the back right tire....
Edit: I see you fixed your comment to the right tire
The intake setup was such a botch setup. There was quite a bit of performance loss with the setup Mercedes did.
Just because its carbon fiber does not mean it actually added any hp.
My nephew has an 2004 c240, we did quite a bit of work on the car overall.
He definitely needed new air filters. The intake pipes from OEM were soo bad they had duct tape on them instead of just removing them.
Deleted the filter cover, and the crappy pipes.
Bought 2 universal cold air intakes off the shelf, 90 degree elbow, an extra rubber boot, and xl cone filer.
Results were night and day, we didn't realize the car was soo restricted with that POS OEM air filter cover.
We even tested a quick drive with the air filters removed out of the cover and still was less response and power.
Seen a gain in fuel mileage as well, not super lots. Just city driving was able to pull 3 more miles a gallon out of the car.
CAI is the way to go on these cars, the motor breathes better. Not all that air trapped in the stock oem air cover getting heated up before passing through the throttle body.

Awesome video! FYI Alex, snagged the VIN and VINwiki says “Vehicle was sold on August 01, 2010 and registered in Naples, FL 34102.” Also the color is 994 Amethyst Violet Metallic. Looks amazing.
Car is super cool and unique for sure, as far as price it’s hard to say. You’d have to find someone that wanted that exact package back then and didn’t have the huge chunk of $25k to have it done. I absolutely love the color! Well done you stole that car lol
Hey Alex-
In the 5G-Tronic (722.6), I noticed the specs on it say it has a "2 speed reverse" gear ratio on it?
...what does this mean? It's not REALLY a "2 speeds in Reverse" transmission setup, right?
(Oh! At 13:11 ...Nice! Tires broke loose on the downshift! This "C38" was rated at about 300hp, right?)
Guaranteed the previous owner traded it in at a non Mercedes dealer for something newer, they didn’t know what it was and the dealer just wholesaled it. Happens all the time.
Richie Rich that makes a lot of sense! I never thought of that happening
Absolutely yes and it being a C38 that’s actually slower than a C32 it makes sense, awesome if you’re buying it used, sucks if you’re trying to sell it lol!
Yeah 100 percent that would be my guess. I live in melbourne aus and have lots of older and newer bmw/audi/merc amg/rs/m cars and I once got a call from a subaru dealer asking me if i wanted to buy an old bmw with "ugly stripes on it" went down there and it was an e30 b6 alpina. In really rough shape but fair to say i snapped it up for $1500 aus dollars about 1k us or so...best deal i have ever got on a car

Where'd you find this? Its very detailed. Impressive
The color is Capri blue metallic, a very rare color provided by Mercedes Benz only for a few years. You can also find them on the Mercedes CLK models
Can’t be, Capri Blue is much more of a subtle blue/black. VIN decoders say this car has paint code 994 and not 359
Oliver Matthew Capri blue is actually a very vibrant blue. You’re thinking of diamond black. My C55 is diamond black. Looks black at night or on a gloomy day but it’s blue in direct light. You can google the two colors.
Nope it's Violan 339u
IbtiX Gaming never heard of that color. Is it Renntech’s color? Looks a lot like the color Renntech used for the late 90’s SL they built.
@@tipsofme No it's a original mercedes color, tbh i think it's violan but the US has a different name for it. Renntech may have used the same color i'm not sure.

Great video, Alex.
We recently bought at an estate sale, a 2007 C280 4Matic with 120k miles. It was in very good shape with newer tires and while there were few repair records, my friend's shop looked up the VIN and found it had received regular maint. at local shops and the dealer, since new. So, the only things I had to do were: new brakes and rotors all around, new serp. belt, air filters, an oil change (I used Mobil 1 since it's my son's car) and coolant change. While on the lift, before buying it, we never saw anything bad or worn... ball joints were all okay and it appeared that all 8 CV joints were good as well. Only after buying it, when I was doing the front brakes, did I discover a torn CV boot on the left front side. I took it in and while they were going to replace the boot, a less expensive option was to replace the entire axle. It takes less labor hours to replace the entire axle than it does to replace just a boot and maybe a lone CV joint. So, we installed a new LF axle and all is good. It had a broken shifter plate so I found one on eBay which easily fit in. There were a few other minor issues but all in all, it's a great car. I popped off the air cleaner housing and showed my son about how easy it will someday be to change plugs. It's a helluva lot less work than on my M276 engine in the 2013 C300 4Matic. Oh, the VIN check found that the engine had no cam or crank sensor issues as well. The CARFAX was clean. The estate was asking $5800 for it, but they sold it to me for $5400. I thought it was a decent deal and while I spent some money on repairs, I am happy we spent the money.
Our son, who lives up around DeKalb, now has a much better car than the old 1996 C220 with a lot of paint issues and a little rust. I now have that one and will be fixing the rust and trying to get the heat to work before selling it.
You should get a G-class as well
thank you for actually providing useful ads in a way we want to know. Was wanting to know what website and how u got such a screaming deal. Keep em up!
Maybe a front end crash ? That would explain the missing cover, those headlights and grill...
I just picked one up from a guy for $2000 a 03 Kompressor with a $35k Renntech package guy did not have a clue what he had, even verified it with Renntech before buying "We built that car for our west coast distributor at the time, he bought it new and it was quite well equipped with electric seats and everything.
Our tuning was a pulley with software and exhaust, the intake is not from us and whatever else. It has been a long time so it is not unusual other people played with it.
The wheels are still what we put on, 8” and 9” in the back multipiece, Koni suspension and a brake upgrade.
It has the carbon interior pieces and our wide fender flares with wing."

Even with this video, why not reach out to Renntech and see if this is Legit. Sure seems like it though.
@@charlesluna8450 lol, might be true.
i recently bought a c class 320 for $750 just needs struts but my cluster isnt working
That car looks amazing, whoever bought it wanted to keep it for a while.
It comes full circle.... I own this car now
@@GasStationSushiiii How do you like it? Did you fix the rust? Nice car!!!
From a bmw fan and owner it’s impressive
Is it only me been annoyed by the "comment down below" every two seconds throw the video..?
If you're gonna try to diss a video maybe check your wording before you post....
@@kylephipps8989 its called criticism my friend, sorry if i insulted you.. I am not "diss" (not sure i get what it means anyway) i just get annoyed by the lack of inspiration when comes to the creator asking for engagement. He is not asking his audience to engage for a real reason but just to create traffic. This is how you loosing the interest of your audience. you asking them to engage but you never reply back, so the audience member feels betrayed.
*by the way except my wording there , for sure plenty of grammar and mistakes in my comments, since English is not my first language. I do try though. Also if you want to let me know how to correct say what i want, i would honesty appreciate it..
well you did comment down below, though, twice
Someone GOT Dissed !!!!
Well it worked, didn't it?
Nice find! I have a C32 AMG (203) and a CLS550 (218). But now I’m going to spend more time looking through the website trying to find something like as mint as the car you showed us.
A unicorn 😎 Time to build a undergound carpark Lol
And its still about as reliable as a 90's northstar cadillac but triple the price to work on 😂
This car has been dead reliable for two years. Trust me man I was a little nervous before buying haha
OZ wheels! Those were seriously $ bitd. We pronounced it "Oh Zee"
Marco Barichello yeah it’s Oh zee wheels, NOT “ahz” oz wheels (like the wizard of oz)
Actually it’s pronounced O ZETA. It’s an Italian brand. 😊
company takes its name from initials of the founders names oselladore and zen!
@@blvckskull7954 Zen is a northern last name probably Tevisan
UK/Canadians say "O ZED" lol
My rear main seal leaks on my ML55. Haha of course it leaks oil
Take a shot everytime he says renntech
I would also bring the class back into this Mercedes. I would make the wheels silver again, remove the tint, reinstall the traditional grill, remove the AMG badge on the brake calipers, the piano black vinyl wrap, and stock headlights.
"Kind of a little rusty"
No! that is "hella rusty" 😂😂😂😂
TheRealChino40 when you buy and build older cars that is nothing. Most of it is surface rust which can be taken off no problem.
That's very minor rusting while taking in count the car's age.
Its the real deal.... OZ wheels (pronounce "O" "Z" single letters) are high end wheels from Italy.
Sebring Exhaust from Austria I believe are standard on AMG cars - very Expensive and high quality.
The brakes are also fairly expensive if it was "just" an aftermarket ad on..... which its clearly not. Take it to a track, I'll bet you it will go beyond 155mph...
Sebring is the stock muffler on C32 AMG
Also on C55 and CLK55 AMG
Right! My C32 has the exact same on.
Yep ML55 with the rear main seal leak... got all the parts; seal, rear plate and TTY bolts... but don’t want to drop the trans just yet haha.
It's amazing how fast you were able to get it registered and insured before taking it out for a ride and smoking the tires! Lol
That colour is amazing. What a buy. I have an 05 C270 Cdi. 5 pots for the win.
Paint the wheels silver again, looks cheap in black yeesh
Also the grill, the lights i can barrely accept, but that grill is so wrong..
You think so? I thought the silver looked cheap and it didn't really fit the color and look I feel.
@@domino52o26 black wheels look smaller than the equivalent silver wheel,
I have those exact black bezel aftermarket Depo headlights on my 05 c230. Very nice looking lights in person. Installed some LEDs in them and on the bottom fogs and they light up the road beautifully. Better than projectors.
@@domino52o26 the black wheels in this trim and color look good. I dont know why most people on here think it looks bad. The black rims blend in more with the color of the car. Black rims all day. More stealth at night
i'm sure you get this question a lot. But scratches, new brakes, and minor dents I'm sure are the best buys. But how would you go about testing the frame's integrity for something that has a whole fendor missing or was in a pretty bad accident? Currently looking for a new car myself and wouldn't mind putting in extra work but still a bit put off from buying an auction car with the chance of structural frame damage. Great video and would love your feedback
