Hopefully the link works. looks to be in CA and really not that bad. Cosmetic stuff from what pictures show.

Outside:
headlight, taillight, rear bumper, front bumper, left front and rear quarters, left rear wheel & tire, hood, front left air ducting. Front left wheel and tire looks like it hit as well (sitting on the damaged spot, hard to see).

Inside:
Front dome light dangling, 2 airbags deployed, probably lots of busted trim clips (rattles).

I could see that all costing quite a pretty penny to fix. No telling what parts under the body have been damaged either. From my accident I can say charge piping is probably damaged, possibly radiator, aux radiator, and fmic as well, and front bumper support.

it was salvaged for a reason....a few pics are not enough to tell a story!

6307 miles is nice. Probably one of the lowest mile 1M in the country, but "salvaged title" defeats that 6K miles bragging right.

For a purist, it's obviously not the correct car. but for someone looking to make a driver, it might not be a bad buy. All depends on what bids take it to.


With how few there are, anyone happen to know any history on this one?

I think the only way a salvage car would be worth exploring is if someone wants to build a dedicated, non-street legal track monster built for only track use. Registering, insuring, and driving a salvaged car is a pain in the ass otherwise and the buyer may spend a lot of money and release a lot of sweat trying to make it an actual daily driver or even a street-legal driver.

Here in NY registering a salvaged car takes boat loads of work....and even then they are hard to sell at a later date and are more unpredictable in their reliability and issues depending upon the reasons for salvage.

Exactly. I will have to check if it's still for sale but a company in NY has been trying to sell a fixed up salvage for a couple years.
