Default 2002 SOM ws6

I'm going to look at a 2002 SOM ws6 with 56k on the clock, bone stock, manual. Prior salvaged title, but had it checked out at a mechanic and all is good with the car. He is asking 13k and payed for the mechanic?

A 'salvage' title means the car is worth about half in this 'poor selling' market. $13,000 is outrageous! If you buy this car today and try to sell it tomorrow you will be lucky to get $8,000 for it. Why would you pay more?? Be smart! It doesn't matter how well the car was repaired. It has the stigma of 'salvage' forever. A very difficult car to sell at even a vastly reduced price. Do not pay anything even close to that figure. The seller is looking for a real sucker.
