Wow.
It made it that far only to end up there? Sad. I am amazed at the millage that these cars do. Condition should be the rule of thumb, not miles IMHO.

I think the Salvage Title would be the biggest issue for me.
Otherwise the condition is all that matters, as stated above.
I doubt there are any maintenance records; it would be nice to know what was done to the engine, and when.
The engine and its compartment sure could use some good cleaning...
How is the inside?
