altho, I would offer probably 65-70% of what a non salvage would fetch
If someone is disclosing a car was salvaged, selling it as salvaged, and discloses the damages and fixes, and you're paying a salvage price (50-60% non-salvage value), it may be worthwhile.

If someone is hiding the fact that a car was salvaged, went through lengths to get it registered with a "clean" title in a different state, I would run away and never look back. I don't do business with people that operate like that.

To have been totaled in 2001 when the car was less than a year old, the damage would have had to have come to more than $20k...that's a LOT of damage. Back then a used low mile 2001 would have sold for around $28-30k (yes...times have changed).

Good to point out and very true.
Look elsewhere...

it also would have had to lasted several years after the fact (2009 - 2001 ?) so you gave an opposing point at the same time. It cant be THAT bad.

Or it could be clean due to they never claimed it to the insurance company and just rebuilt it. Get a S not that one
