So just for curiosity's sake...what is your price range (seeing as this beauty was just above it)

I would give you a different perspective.
There may be some salvage title cars that are not a bad deal. If it has been restored properly it could be as good as any other used car, sometimes better. You would want to be careful and get it checked over completly.
If you're worried about resale value then yeah, don't even think about it. If you want to own the car and drive it then it could be a good deal.
The thing about the laundered title would bother me more than anything else. If the guy says up front it has been restored, here's what was done to it, and it seems reasonable. Then I wouldn't ignore it. Especially if it was a good price.
good idea to walk away....from the timeline it sounds is though the owener is lying but I could be wrong....he got the car after it was salvaged and off the repo so he must have registered it with a salvage title....
Yeah, something like that could be worth it. Again, assuming you want to OWN the car and are not worried about selling it.I had an opportunity to buy a salvaged 06 located just a few blocks from me for $33K with full documentation of the rebuilding process. At a price like that, I would consider a well documented car with a salvage history. I agree there are some good buys of well rebuilt cars out there.
