Bought the car from IAA Feb 2022 and went through the rebuild process myself. According to Carfax, the car hit a mailbox. No damage to the frame (have a picture), I repaired most of the car myself but I had a body shop repair the front pilar and rear rain rail where the mailbox looks to have flipped over the car. I have the auction pictures or if you Google the VIN you can see it there too. It’s a Luxe trim level but since I had to replace the bumper anyway, I swapped it to a Sport bumper. I replaced the bumper, hood, fender with OEM Infiniti parts, had them painted by the same bodyshop that repaired the pillars. The car passed both the Illinois safety and Police inspections and I was issued a rebuilt title in my name. It isn’t perfect, there are still some misc scratches dings, and dents that didn’t prevent the car from passing an inspection, but are present.
What does it need? Everything works except for the key fob. If you put the fob next to the push button start, it starts every time, it’s just the keyless functionality that doesn’t work. I have a new OEM key, just haven’t had the time to get it to the dealer to have it programmed.

I’m selling to free up some cash plus I recently purchased a JDM Mitsubishi Evolution. That being said, I am willing to entertain a trade + cash on your end deal for another “fun” vehicle. I’m not looking for a total project car, I have enough of those, something I can jump in and drive now. I’m mainly interested in JDM/Japanese vehicles like 370z, EG/EK Civic, Integra, Eclipse, Talon, 300zx, Lexus LS/IS/LX, Skyline, GTR, Landcruiser, crew cab Toyota, RHD, Impreza WRX, Lancer Evolution, etc., pre-1975 American cars, MAYBE the right Corvette.
Happy to get you additional pictures or video of whatever you want. I’ve bought/sold many vehicles from out of state so happy to work with a transportation company to arrange a pickup at your expense. Also willing to use Escrow.com for out of state transactions.
