Answer
Charlotte,

It really depends all on how you look at it.  Technically yes it is a good deal, where else could buy a vehicle like that for that low amount of money.  That is what it looks like on the surface.  Below the surface it is a disaster waiting to happen.  That vehicle has no warranty, is not eligible for any type of warranty and never will be again.  In the old car adage terminology If you drive the vehicle home and on the way it home it breaks in half, you own both halves.  Kind of a funny way to put it, but its true.  I am not a fan of salvage title vehicles, but it also depends on your situation, and what you are wanting the vehicle for.  You make the decision based on what is best for you.

Hope this helps.
