Helllooo. Is a bent or twisted subframe worth buying?

Would you buy broken electronics from Best Buy?

Seems like a silly question.

Seems to me he was asking with the intent to try and straighten or return to useable status. And NO is still the correct answer. There are too many potential problems with a frame even after it has been straightened. It won't be as strong as it was originally intended to be.

I don't think Best Buy sells broken electronics..... Unless you are talking about "Refurbished". If so then YES! I would buy it!

Well obviously they don't sell broken stuff. It's a rhetorical question - he asked if he should buy a broken item.

hahaha. Yeah I meant to ask if repairing a bent subframe was a good idea. Wellllll... now i know thanks lol.

It may seem like a silly question to you... but I genuinely didn't know. Isn't that what this forum is for? Remember... "It's a rhetorical question".

My response was based on your original question. Asking if repairing a bent subframe is a much more legitimate question than if you should get one all together. Asking if you should buy broken merchandise is, well, silly.

True. I should have phrased it better.
