Do you have any info on why it was salvaged? Fire or water damage are a lot different than a collision.

@Nail Grease has experience working with salvage cars and may be able to offer some advice.

Just for clarification, A salvage titled vehicle can not be driven on the highway legally. At some point, proof of repairs, inspections etc must be presented to change a salvage title to a rebuilt title. I’d confirm this.
Buying a vehicle with a rebuilt title isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The price should reflect that when purchasing. But just know that a lot of monkey business can and does go on with salvage vehicles. The mileage often is rolled back and can be put together with used parts from another vehicle. I’d want to know what was the reason for it being salvaged, accident, flood etc. What was the extent of the damage, inspect the work, check alignment, suspension, look for frame damage, rust. Who did the work? Professionals can make junk look beautiful with a nice paint job.
I’d want to know if the timing belt water pump job done at 105k. By whom and what parts were used.

Salvage titled vehicles are very difficult and in some cases not possible to get conventional insurance coverage. Be prepared to self insure.

Car report says front end damage and seller is saying “minor” front end damage, this could mean just about anything. The fact is an insurance adjuster made a determination that the vehicle was a “total” loss.

Car reports may have some useful vehicle history but are notoriously inaccurate and should not be relied upon. Get a professional to check the vehicle and let you know what the reality is with the condition.
