Default 2002 WS6 w/ salvage title

OK guys, i'm looking at a 2002 WS6 M6 w/ 32k miles. It has a salvage title, damage to the front end, and the fenders and bumper don't perfectly match up and it appears the whole car has been repainted since the drivers door RPO sticker has gone missing. Vin verified true WS6 but he wants 12,5 for it. Drives well, nothing major except needs new rotors..paint looks clean though it's missing all badges and the bumper filler plate. What are your opinions?

the car isnt worth more then 7500-8k tops.. why does it still have a salvage title? why isnt it rebuilt? in order for that car to go on the road it has to be inspected by the state and made sure that the car is street worthy.. i would wait till its inspected, because if it fails you will have to pay for all the work to make it pass.. in order for a car to be salvage it had to have alot of damage.. i wouldnt pay more then 8k, thats if the car looks and drives good and is inspected..

Don't even bother. Too many to choose from in a buyer's market. It would be a mistake to buy this overpriced one.

thats way to high. these guys are right about 8 is what i would pay. i got my ss with 72,000 miles clean title for 8,500 in april. the guy had to pay bail. i thought i got a steal at the time but you can find a clean title with a little bit more mileage ss for like 11 or 12. look into that.

Most I'd pay for it is $3,500 because it's a salvage car with zero collectablity and needs work.
