1.Don't ever buy a car that doesn't have a clean title if you ever plan on selling it.

2. A black/black SC is a very rare and sought after car. It's also worth more than 4000$ based on the interior Color alone.

3.Why would you want to get an SC3 over an SC4 unless you plan on going 1j, NA-T, or GTE?

Do it only if u plan on keeping it. U'll get nothing if u try to resell it in a few years. But obviously only depending on the type of damage as well..

Really? Go salvage? Salvage is NEVER the better route. No matter how pristine and OK in running condition the car is in. I have owned about 3 prior to my SC. And my SC is my first clean title. Salvage is very hard to sell. I know you say you won't sell it ever.. but times change and so do finances and interests bro. Stick with a clean title or just save up more, sell your car and find a better deal.
