Well here goes kid...I am putting on my "father hat". First and foremost, you don't have a lot of money for repairs IF the car needs something. 2nd, if it is a lemon, with a salvage title, you won't have much luck getting your money back. Why, because you just bought it, and now are trying to resell it. 3rd, you really, really need to know why it was totaled, what damage it sustained. Or, was it water damage, which is a real no, no with the electronics in this car. I will stop there for now, but I have bought salvaged vehicles and have had good luck with them, but you just have to know what to look for. Offer them $3500.00....and take it for a long test drive, take note of the tire wear....this is a clue to alignment...look for leaks, oil, water etc...gaps in the door/fender alignment for body panel replacements. Good luck kid....
