^ honestly me neither which is why it didn't pop out at me at first. Used to seeing salvage or rebuilt. I guess if that was their specific intention with the wording it worked.

^ thats what i am thinking they are trying to mislead people who the hell ever calls a salvaged car "branded" lol

I think its over priced for a salvaged car... top id pay for a salvage would be $13-$15K

For those interested, this is what vehicle branded title means:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_title_branding

short version- fire, flood, or collision damage

Looks like the back seats took quite a beating. I wonder what could have caused that?

Also, is it me or do the seat belts look a bit....purple? I don't have silver/ebony interior in my TL-S so I wouldn't know. Could anyone else with the same interior tell me if the belts are different? I always imagined them to be a darker color. Or is it just how the picture was taken?

I looked at their inventory and they have some AWESOME deals. Maybe a big part in salvaged titles. Never heard of Branded titles ???

Seems TOO GOOD to be TRUE.
