This is our personal car. Sideswiped on the road and rolled a couple of times. Lots of good parts left!!! Let me know what's on your mind. Great protection from Honda!! Very little damage to us due to Honda's engineering excellence.

Maybe you should read the post again. "very little damage to us". Not the car. And no, it's not worthless, either, thank you.

Being sold for $380.....If the car was a CVT model and in my area, I would have paid that price just to have spare parts car available in the future. These parts will get harder to find once the dealership is not required to stock them in the near future.

For starters, you have a possibly good IMA battery, good ECM, MCM, BCM, dash gauge cluster,tail light assemblies, hatch glass, possible wheel spat, couple of good wheels. The engine, catalytic converters, spark plug coils, transmission, etc may still be good as well.....

That is worth much much more than $380

It was advertised as a parts car and someone got a good deal....

It sounds like no major injuries and that is the most important part.

Most of the items you listed will be for sale later-minus the electronics. I had to end it for various reasons, some out of my control. I arranged a deal with the buyer. Sorry if this screwed anyone up, but insurance companies sometime can't keep track of all their different departments I guess. Again, my apologies.

The ebay listing just had displayed: "Bidding has ended on this item" instead of "Auction ended early" so I thought maybe this was a one day bidding item and it sold for $380 (a great deal if it really happend that way). Now that I know the auction ended early, I have no way to comment on a good deal.
