Like others have said, 9k can get you a clean title AP1. If I were you I'd wait a few more months and try and save 2k more. Your options from there will widen greatly.
I's save a bit cash if you can 10 to 12 k would open some options ..as in getting a car with a clean title ...

^^ Agree with this guy, also i wouldnt recommend getting a salvage title unless you plan on keeping this car forever because your resale value is diminished.
I got my first s2000 2 years ago it was a grey 2001 with 58,xxx miles in near mint condition paint 100% stock with a newly replaced oem softop and the guy was asking $11,000 and i got it for $10,800. I considered that a steal at the time but id say if you are patient you will find someone who doesn't realize they could get more for their car and just want fast cash. I was 17 when i got my first s2k(now on my second) i dont know why the one guy said you shouldn't buy this car based off of solely your age what really determines if you should/can is your current income right?
Edit: Forgot to mention the only thing my 01 s2k needed before it was ready for the road was a set of new tires.

So today i found an S2k went to look at it, and the guy wanted 8000 for an 01 s2k salvage title with 87k miles. Engine was in incredible shape, everything looked quite clean. But both me and my farther weren't to thrilled t find that the airbag in the passenger seat had not been replaced. Offering 6500 didn't work, honestly im just tired looking at cars and getting no where. I don't know what i should do, should i ask if he would do 7000-7500. Any help would be appreciated, i haven't been feeling well all month; so maybe some advice would cheer me up.
Oh my budget is only 9000, i would probably have one by now if it was higher.

I mentioned that because if he is under 18, then he has a ton of time ahead of him. He could wait and get a really nice S2000 rather than settling for an 'ok' one now.
