Manhiem auto auction has a white V10 with 74,000 miles going on June 16. It is GSA owned and fully equipped. Good luck in your purchase.
The auction is on the web and the truck is just north of Pittsburgh. For the right price it would be worth going up there for it or shipping.

When I bought my X, I bid on quite a few GSA vehicles on manheim. All went for WAYYYYY above real world value.
I learned the hard way to stay away from the GSA auctions that are open to the public. People think they're getting a great deal, and then pay 2k more than they'd have paid on autotrader, just because the car has low mileage.
However, buying on manheim (dealer auctions) has made my travel life awesome the past few years. I usually buy and sell 2-3 cars a year, and when I do, I always look across the entire country. I see it as a very cheap way to travel the country. In the past two years, I've been to Philly, DC, Orlando, Texas, LA, Seattle, Boise (woohoo!), Vegas, and Phoenix, all subsidized by cars bought on Manheim or Brashiers auto auctions.

NO WAY, there are nice X's without needing repairs for that kinda money, why pay 6900 for a repairable?

A computer frame shop usually won't charge too much to repair a frame cause it's all down to an exact science, and they do them all day long. They will charge insurance companies an arm and a leg though. You would want to be a good fabricator to repair the rest, and the right person could fix that truck for cheap and have a great truck in the end. Not for everyone to get into, perfect for the guy that wants to slip on a 2010 front end.

Just for grins, and my own curiosity, does the X have the "cow catcher" like my '01 F250 does? As in, behind the plastic "air dam" under the bumper, does it have that big steel beam that's supposed to catch the bumpers of lower-profile vehicles?
If so, combined with that tow-hook pointing lower than the other one, I'd have to say "hell yes" that frame is bent.
That "cow catcher" is a pretty hefty piece of steel. I'd have to say, it's probably tougher than the frame itself. If it got hit in that accident (and it definitely looks like it), it bent the frame downward.
And looking at both pictures in the first post, it's quite obvious the frame is bent.
