lawnman Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I am looking at a 2002 t/a. the car has rocker damage , it was driven over a hill. How much would it cost to replace both rockers. I know this isa vague question, but I only have pics of the car and not seen it in person.

99ta Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 depends how bad it is.....but the outer rocker is 120 and inner rocker is 140. that wouldn't be including labor. alot of rockers can be straightened. best option would be to take it to a shop and get an estimate.

lawnman Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 It is a 2002 ws6 t/a for $8800. The car has 43,ooo miles on it. I was told the owner drove it off of the road and down a hill. I think there might be alot more damage under the car , but told it was only slight rocker damage.

99ta Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 clean title? I would want to look at it first. could have frame damage....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProwlerZ Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Definitely get under the car first; Great price, but I'd say that's indicative of substantial damage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawnman Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 That's what I was thinking. Possible frame problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 He drove it down a hill? So what? Will the car drive straight? Does the hood line up the way it should? Do the door gaps front and back match? Does the decklid close tightly? Are the covers ripped on the bottom edges? Those are questions you need to ask yourself when you see the car. Things to look for that go along with driving straight. How is the alignment? Any shake? Look at the front of the pumpkin. Look in the hard to clean spots. Most shops offer inspections on used vehicles. Some do it for free. If you decide to buy it. Or even still shoot me some picture of the rockers and I will let you know what it would cost to fix it. For comparison sack...the damage area in the rocker. Is it softball, volleyball, football or basket ball width? Oh yeah and what color is the car?

V8 Beast Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Take someone with you to look at it. For that price you might be getting a hell of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
