    VERY nice looker. Unfortunately, for me that's all it is. Can't afford 10 grand & even as nice as this is, can't see spending that much for it.

    It's a looker alright, but what bothers me, aside from the $10,500 price tag, is the words SALVAGE TITLE. To the best of my understanding that could mean a few things, some of which could be rather unfortunate.

    The seller attempts to explain the reason for the salvage title in the ad, and that term can mean something very different state-to-state. But it does give pause, and certainly would warrant a thorough inspection of the car, if someone were seriously interested.

    Read his explanation of why it had a salvage title. SAYS he made a mistake when he registered it. Somewhat concerned because he sounds like he does this a lot (buy & sell cars). Sounds a little weird he'd make a mistake like that.

    I can't picture the circumstances where I could make a mistake like that.
