Question
I am thinking about buying a 2001 mitsubishi eclipse and it has salvage title. It got hit on the driver side rear end. The trunk and the bumper is pushed in. I was wondering if it would be alot to fix?? And is it worth it?? The guy is selling it for 3100.

Answer
Hello Mike! Pass it by. It's barely worth that wholesale before it was wrecked. The salvage title is the final nail in the coffin. It will cost more to fix it that it's worth, which is why it was totaled by an insurance company. That's why they didn't bother with it. I seriously doubt you can fix it yourself. Bill
