honestly, I don't even know if I would buy it for $20k-but there is also that chance that it's a near perfect 2003 GS430 with under 4000 miles.

Ill pass.
And w/ a salvage title... That resale is just horrible. And also hard to sell.

yah....hard to get around carfax report that the car was salvaged.
I heard someone in the military shipped a salvaged car to Texas...and registered it there....they said the registration does not indicate its a salvaged vehicle. Can any TX peeps confirm this?

If you got the space, I can see someone buying it cheap and then taking their time selling it for parts. Otherwise, someone's taking a big chance. Even if the car runs good, resale value will bite you in the butt 2 or 3 years later.
