Good deal?

https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/5985331146.html

$13k but could get him lower.. only has 48k miles
I drove it and it drives well, has a ton of power, no check engine lights

Cons are the ugly rims and the interior is in mediocre shape, needs a nice detailing. I google'd the VIN and saw pics and it had very minimal damage and no airbags blown in the collision.

I would not buy a Salvage title even $5K lower than market price. Plus, the wheels are ugly...

couple of Benzos
depending on why its Salvage I mean the price is right on point if that car was clean title with that miles it would have been $25k+ so half the price is very reasonable. I would ask the guy if he has the stock wheels those Mandrus wheels are horrific

Agree with Andre: Why the salvage title? That's usually a huge red flag (In a flood? Frame damage that didn't make it to CarFax?)
-But at that price, and if you like the color, it would be worth it to get a PPI done, and then of course, an aftermarket warranty

The seat wear and tear appears to reflect a lot more than 37k miles. My CLS 55 with 52K miles has a lot less wear.
Are you buying it with the damage? If so, it may take $10k to get it back in shape. Then its not a good deal due to the title.
The way to see if it has frame damage, is to get an alignment before you buy.
