I read somewhere that they are worth $1000 dollars less then KBB with a salvage title. I paid more then that for my car with a salvage title and i love the car.

Salvage title with a big cam? Seriously keep looking man. You're looking at getting yourself into a huge hole unless you plan on keeping it forever.
For $7,700 you could find something unmolested and fairly low miles.

Find out why he is selling. Take a buddy who is mechanically inclined and let him look it over with you. With that cam you want to make sure there are no other issues. Check fluids, maintenance records, etc...

Ive personally been flipping cars for some years now, most had salvage titles. Uneducated people like yourself ruined it for honest people trying to make a buck.
While in college worked at a body shop and seen several cars receive repair that were far more damaged than some vehicles that were totaled out. ITS ALL UP TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
With that being said, OP i would look at the car and ask TONS of questions. Honestly I would be more worried about some idiot modding the car, than the salvage title.

What are the miles on the car? If it's low and you plan on keeping the car for a long time then it may be worth that. There are plenty of deals out there if you're willing to look and wait.

I've yet to find a good deal. Most WS6's with under 60k miles seem to go for 12-13k.
Are there any issues with the MS4 cam?

Do you have any experience with salvage title vehicles or body/frame repair?

And yes, my current car has a salvage title. I'm not saying they can't be decent cars, it's just not wise to dump alot of money on one because you're more than likely not going to get NEAR that back if you plan to resell. If you've had luck, good for you. I just wouldn't advise it. You're already fighting the depreciating value of the car, why add a salvage title to it?

Are there any issues with the MS4 cam?[/QUOTE]
No it's a great cam, lots of lift. Have to change valve springs every so many miles I would ask Texas Speed. I have the MS3 the younger/ smaller brother of the MS4. I love it. The idle sound is awesome and screams up top. This is a gut decision for you. Salvage does not mean it was wrapped around a tree and fixed. As mentioned before insurance companies total a car for stupid things like air bags. Just get the details and report back to us man. We will help answer your questions the best we can.

Mileage was around 22,000. I bought this car wrecked, hustled parts, and have under 10,000 in it. Ive owned it for ~2 years, OH NOOOESSS ITS A SALVAGE TITLE.
