They are not driving the right cars..
my current 1000 dollar car is a 2009 Chevy Uplander. It does have a prior salvage title, and I spent 300 bucks at the pick-a-part yard pulling the needed body parts (in the same color) to fix it. but I don’t think it looks to bad. it was a light front end hit, they hit a deer. cost me a bumper, left fender, hood and headlight. Total spent 1050 dollars.
