Default Damage from 20 mph collision?

Just came across a picture on the S.F. Bay Craig's List of a Prius being sold for parts after a 20 mpg collision. Seems like a lot of damage for that speed...or is it?

He might have been going 20 mph, I wonder how fast the other car was going?

Pretty impressive resale value if THAT is what $14,000 will buy you in a used Prius! :crazyeyes:

Sure, 20mph - and the brick wall was traveling 40...

Oh and what you ask for a car (14k) and what you get are two very different things! - (I'm sure the engine and transaxle w/converter weren't hurt - "it all just cosmetic")
