It's what I can afford and it is in a color scheme that I am looking for. It was a lease for first 20k miles. It has a salvage title - owner claims that it was never actually wrecked but was essentially insurance fraud to make it a salvage title and then get the payout. Owner said he doesn't mind if I take it to a shop to put up on a hoist... I would also like to have the engine compression tested.

What should I consider? What price would you offer? Thanks in advance!

 

i dont know any small fender bender that will total a car, when mine was rear ended... $5k damage and it wasnt totalled.

 

But Trav, it was the BUMBLER that had to bee replaysed!! We all know how mush them bumblers costed to repare.

 

It looks pretty clean, besides the curb rash. Do the compression/leak down test and see what your numbers are. Seems like a decent price, but it's hard to say without looking the car over.

 

I wouldn't pay more than $2,000 for ANY salvage car.

 

Anyone who'd commit insurance fraud and then tell you there's nothing wrong with his salvage-titled car deserves a punch in the throat. If you actually trust this guy and buy his car, get back to me, because I have a bridge to sell you.
