Default Would this be worth buying?? (Salvaged)

Just trying to get some input on wither I should buy this IS-F. I'm want one without a sunroof.

http://www.prestmanauto.com/wholesal...48be9eb90b.htm

It doesn't say in the description but it was a salvaged car. Did some research and it seemed like it was rear ended and some quarter panel damage. Found some damage picture using the vin number they offered when it was sold at an auction. Not sure about the frame.

The price seemed legit.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Much Love

Wow thanks man.

I'll just have to wait it out until I find something better. I really like the no sunroof deal though.....

it says clear on that page and every other listing posted.

"Prestman Auto is a family owned and operated dealership that has been in business since 1989. How many others can say the same? We have been the leader in top quality branded title vehicles sold nationwide"

I work right by this dealership. I have test driven a couple IS-F's there, decent experience. But if I remember correctly that blue one was in kinda bad condition. (paint chips, gaps)

Salvaged cars are never worth buying.

I'd love to buy it for a track car. It would be perfect for me.

I'm trying to get a weekend car and maybe go on trips but I don't want things breaking down while traveling.

I'll have to keep on searching.....

Man every IS-F I see potential, it seems to be salvaged.

God why you do this to me!!!

I would never spend over 10k on a salvaged vehichle. Thats why they sit for so long. Only car I bought was a honda hatch and it had flood damage. Bought it from a guy who redid everything and had a branded or fixed title. I bought it, replaced motor with jdm b16 and full race turbo kit. It was a straight liner and nothing else.

Wait for the right one. It will be worth it.

Im also different then most people. I would rather spend the extra bucks then have to worry about it failing apart.
