Foster's Auto Parts (FAP), is basicly junk yard. They sell cars that have been totalled by insurance, and have a salvaged title. This one obviously has been in a wreck on the drivers side, with both doors and front fender that have been replaced.

This is one of those buy at your own risk. There could be hidden frame damage under the body panels. Unless you own or know someone who owns a body repair shop I'd stay away.

You are correct. Totalled/Salvaged Title in this case. If this car weren't a salvaged title, you'd see it at a dealer instead of a salvage yard. The 3 consecutive replaced panels tell me that this car was nailed on the driver's side and probably suffered serious frame damage in order to total it.

8...that's right 8 Carfax entries for 2 years isn't good either. DO take into consideration that if you're the 1st owner of a new car, you're the 3rd entry into the CarFax database.

1. Port registry
2. Dealer stocking in
3. Initial owner

This angle alone tells you that you would spend as much to fix it as you could find a decent used one for (above rear tire section). I personally would not want to sink a lot of money into repairing this car. It also says some airbags are blown, probably both side airbags - steering wheel look in good shape.

I could get $15k out of it by scrapping it. I would want to make more profit on that kind of investment though. The one I bought last year I only paid $7k for. Let's just say I made a couple bucks back off it. There's always someone that needs a K24 swap. Airbags are always good too.

Keep in mind that it helps to have a shop and storage at your disposal before attempting this one.

Yup, he should be asking MAXIMUM 10k for it.

Buying such a damaged car is looking for trouble BIG TIME.

sauceman, who has already owned a salvaged car, and knows in what shape the body remains even after a complete rebuild.

It's also the resale that one should concern themselves with in the case of a car like this. Unless, of course, they are parting it out. They do have to answer if you ask about the title status though.
