Killer deal as long as it's a clean title. Hopefully there are no undisclosed problems.

The interior and oems body parts, lights, and etc make that a worthy buy. Even if the car was salvaged he has parts worth lots of money.

Yep.

A good deal regardless of title condition.

I wouldnt trust it as my daily though at first.

Some people have the capability to part out a car, some do not.
At the very least he hasnt lost any money if he is able to part it out,

However to post you bought a 2000 SC black on black without disclosing its salvage (if it is the same car) is not the deal of the lifetime. You have a clear title and not a rebuilt title?

Still a good deal either way ! If it was salvaged at 1 point and if it was repaired properly then no worries.
Even if you parted it you could turn a profit, I would have done the same regardless of title status as it's just a piece of paper.

Still a good deal with it being a 2000 if the interior ect is clean. Even if it needs maintenance it's better than paying $3k for a 92 SC with 250k miles.

Very much understandable! and im not a brilliant mechanic. But my father is. Nothing is wrong with this car i bought it in Tampa and drove it back to Orlando. 0 problems. I did do a car fax and the car was in a accident back in 2003. And it was salvaged. But its only one hit and it was fixed by a dealer.

My father used to buy crashed cars and fixes them. One thing he made me learned is a car had to be driving to get hit. SO YOU KNOW IT DRIVES!.

And the guys sorry for my typo. This car was at a dealer ship. But it was not the dealers car. it was a friend who put the car at the dealership to sell quicker. a really bootleg place if you ask me.

over all guys. The car runs great. no vibration, not steering wheel chatter, and most importantly no check engine light. The car runs and sounds very healthy. (quiet no weird or disturbing noises)

Also i dont have a problem with a salvaged car. My mother has a toyota 4runner that we bought in 1999 crashed/rolled over. it was a salvage car. But she drives that 4runner until today with no problems. its just as good as a normal car, BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION.


A Rebuilt title car means it was fixed back to driving standards and completely safe. because it has to go through a inspection in order to have a rebuilt title to get registered

Was it the place off of Dale Mabry and Waters? If so, which it looks like it is, I drove it. It needs a lot of work! Extremely loud exhaust leak, interior was not in the best shape, trunk wouldn't open, wrong keys, horrible shake at 50mph. The paint job that was done, from the FOUR accidents it was in, was very bad IMO. I know this because he gave me the Carfax. They were all front end accidents... Salvaged title. Was it a black gentleman? That's who I was dealing with and he wouldn't sell it for less than $3500. Guess he didn't have luck selling it. Be VERY careful with this one...
