This looks like a lot of damage to me but maybe because I'm not that learned yet about cars. I would have thought that with this much damage it would cost more to fix it and would have therefore had a salvaged title. If I'm wrong, would it just be the case of getting new doors and bumper from a pick-n-pull and installing them. What about the frame being damaged? That's a possibility or a probability?
Just trying to educate myself for what to look for and what to look out for. I'm looking for something that isn't a beauty but is mechanically sound. I have more time than money so I don't mind getting my hands dirty and doing some work that other people wouldn't be bothered with. That being said I don't want to get something that is a lost cause.
Are salvaged titles ever ok to buy?
Thanks, as always, for taking the time to educate a newbie.
