Advise needed in purchasing Supra
My buddy is selling his 93 Supra Twin Turbo. The car looks good with 155k miles on the original motor, everything is stock except KW coilover. It's not perfect though, it does come with a Salvage title and a automatic transmission. It was salvage due to an accident that was involved with the rear quarter panel. I seen the damaged before and how it was repaired. It was done at a professional body shop. I didn't notice any frame damage, they replace the quarter panel skin with a brand new skin and suspension as well. Everything else seem good, it drive fine. He's offering the car to me for $10k. So what do y'all think? Should I jump on it? Is it a good deal, even though its Salvage? Can I sell it back out for more if I decide not to keep it?

Agreed. Get the frame independently verified, and remove the salvage title first.

1) Take it to an independent shop capable of gauging the quality of the repairs. For example:
http://www.seidnerscc.com/auto-body-...-covina-ca.htm . 2) These links may help in getting the salvage title removed: http://www.autos.com/car-buying/is-i...e-on-a-vehicle http://www.answers.com/topic/salvage-title
