Default Very Important Question!!!

ok, i wanna buy this T.A but it has a salvage title. The guy says that he does body work for a living, and everything is repaired to basically brand new. He also says that the title will become clear wen its transfered to me due to the fact that its switching state. Is this true and if so would you go through with the deal if everything in fact is copasetic?

Thanks Guys!

I would double check with your state's BMV. Also if you are financing it a bank will not finance a salvage title vehicle. As well as the fact how bad was the damage? Usually if its a salvage title it was totalled out. Also the other fact is it doesn't matter how good you are at fixing a car, after a large accident the car will never be the same.
