How did it have a salvage title before but not one now? I don't think any amount of repair will null and void that. Might want to check your state laws. Get a CarFax and find out what the damage was and make your offer accordingly.

I would be wary of the comment " has salvage past but HAS A CLEAN TITLE NOW". The price seems way too high with the salvage past.

Way too much for a salvage title vehicle. Plus you dont know the extent of the damage to have had it salvaged out. I personally would never buy a salvage title vehicle due to if i want to sell it i wouldnt get hardly what its even worth.

Anyone else find it kind of funny that the cars just turning 4 years old and has this "salvage title past."? Pretty new car still for something like that makes me wonder what the previous owner did to that poor car.

Do not want to second guess but the title may have been washed: http://www.fraudguides.com/auto-title-washing.asp

it says it has new rotors and pads but it doesnt mention the brembo bbk...and considering only the grand touring and nismo come with the brembos (correct me if im wrong) isnt that a fact your would mention lol an upgraded brembo big brake kit?? maybe im just scared of craigslist

Those wheels are not the grand touring or nismo wheel*
