[QUOTE="Silver Talon, post: 16352693, member: 192437"] This is my salvage title shelby. It got totaled because the previous owner wouldn't take a car that had the airbags deployed in it. Set all 4 bags off in a super light hit. Guy drove the car home from the accident, and I could have when I bought it too. Had about 8k worth of damage if I had some repair shop do it all. Never even needed to change the alignment. A salvage title car is something to enjoy and drive. It's always going to be tainted to the public. My car is nice enough that no one believes me that it was wrecked, sounds like that ones the same way. A hit in the quarters of these cars is expensive because the quarters have to be cut off the car, and the new ones welded back on. It's time consuming and the quarters can be expensive if bought new. So a light hit, including rear bumper and trunk lid, and maybe a door, gets expensive quickly. Insurance companies know that this type of car has an owner that will be very picky on how his car is fixed, and will push to total it, to avoid the extra expenses and headaches. I'd say at 38k it's an ok buy because of the fact it's only got 16k miles. Its probably a mid 40k car with a clean title. Have the car checked out by a local body shop. A decent shop can do a 5 min walk around and be able to tell you what he thinks. If the body work is straight and of good quality, and the car drives well and takes a 4 wheel alignment with good results, and the damage was truly just a rear quarter, there isnt much else to worry about on the car besides the typical mechanical stuff. You cant drive a piece of paper, but you can go out and hop in your car and drive it. When my car is doing a second gear burnout on the highway past my buddy's 17ss, I cant say as I remember that it's got a branded title ;-) Brian[ATTACH=full]1619375[/ATTACH] Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
