Too Good To Be True?
Has to be probably a scam or a typo. They only want 7900 for it. They probably meant 17900.

I tend to find a lot of misleading ads on craigslist.

Haha...thats funny how the four pics on CL don't show the damage...and not even a mention of salvage or damage in the description. They want you to call them all excited and then let you down easy about the damage.

Body shops can do good work and that truck could run great for the next 10 years...

or...

It could be a walking time bomb, waiting to go off. Some seal set by hand, that had been originally done to factory robot precision is just a bit off and the whole engine explodes in 10k miles.

That is what you gamble with a salvage.

Yeah you're right. I see the same salvage title ads on craiglists for a few months now. I'm thinking they are really hard to sale. Especially when a lot of times the seller tries to price it at bluebook or above. I would never buy a vehicle if the airbags were deployed cuz the vehicle probably will have some serious damage. Maybe, and thats a big MAYBE if I can see photos of how it looked damaged before and if I take it to a mechanic to be checked with a with a fine tooth comb the maybe I will consider.
