For the kind of money the're asking for this car, seems like they should disclose why it has a salvage title and what were the damages to the car....at least I would want to know that if I were interested in buying the car....

It is "buyer beware" and some poor soul will purchase this needing "cosmetic repair" vehicle and eventually discover the tub is toast! Of course by that time they will have little or no recourse, such sales are "as-is, where-is" customarily in the salvage industry. The seller sorta neglects to mention they are a salvage seller although the do have the sign in a photo.

Anyone who buys such a vehicle sight unseen and without expert inspection probably deserves the bone job they will get. There is no free lunch, you can't buy a GT40 for that price with those specifications without having some sort of issues.

The couple thousand the body damage will cost to repair pales against the cost of the monocoque repair!
