I can only imagine the American equivalent of Arthur Tussik (the dude in this channel) doing this kind of shit to sell underpriced BMWs to regular folks. Someone on Oppositetalk posted this Audi while you find this picture from Copart where the unibody is completely fucked . I really question the “body swap”and dread whoever falls in this scam.

Engine hoist, some bricks and eyeballing the door gap. What could go wrong!?

The turning radius is strangely better turning left than right.

Yikes, that video.
I bought a rebuilt Forester once. I knew going in it would have ‘quirks’ but it was a hell of a deal, and the repair shop had an entire stack of photos of the repair process, and it was a hell of a lot better than an engine hoist and some wooden shims. It actually did quite well for a number of years, before the head gasket did what all Subaru head gaskets do....

Well, if the welder knows what he’s doing then it’ll function like it should. If anything it’ll buckle/bend somewhere else since those spots are probably stronger for it. Good workmanship is the key, but like most thing people want things fixed for as little as possible, and then the quality suffers. And the biggest problem is being driven by profit, when it comes to bodywork, if it looks good the client wont complain.
Also, at the end of the day a car isn’t for crashing, ideally.

Wouldn’t a body swap on a unibody car basically just be swapping the powertrain and interior from the wrecked car into a new shell? That kind of work happens all the time with race cars.

But it was listed under the same VIN...so the VIN plate had to be swapped (illegally) or the firewalls were swapped.

Not only that, but if you’ve got a good shell... Why swap the VIN over, and maintain the salvage title of the bad shell?
There’s two reasons I can see - either the good shell is hot, or it’s illegally imported.

I can’t find a reason to illegally import a S4 when you can very easily buy one Stateside...but also this car is in Florida. Someone managed to do the impossible.

Florida is well-known as where you import your illegal cars, and it wouldn’t have to be an S 4 that was imported - could’ve been a 118 hp A4 TDI or 1.8T.

Maybe the shell they swapped to was an A4 shell not an S4.

There was a used car dealership network in the mid west @5 years ago that were buying totaled cars and welding 2 halves together. they would then sell the cars to each other. At the time these states only tracked the last 5 owners so after selling them they would “wash out” the owner from when it was totaled and the car would be “accident free”.
Point being: check your door jams!

That reminds me of the BMW Manual Wagon that had one of the 6 previous owners that only owned it for 1 month and 4 days.

I was in jail (for DUI) with a kid who would steal a car, buy a similar wreck from a junkyard and swap the VINs on the dash & door jambs, sell the stolen car as a salvage title. Bottom line, don’t ever buy a fucking salvaged car.
