Judging from the pictures, that thing took a pretty good hit in the front. The hood doesn't quite line up with the driver's side fender. Also, the driver's side parking light is out of alignment, and the grille doesn't line up with the hood.... I'm going with what haddix and brian2sun said... salvage/rebuild title.

I'd still go for it if it were closer and I didn't already buy a '99 Jeep. I have a salvage title and front end damage my cousin redid and no problems since then just a cheaper deal is all, and I'm not concerned with resale value since it's gonna stay with me for good my Runner came with 171k on it and we got it for $3k

it was a side impact, that bumper is too old as there is fading on it, the flare wont attach to the driver side fender, truthfully i think the fender was replaced and only the fender and the person who installed it did a horrible job aligning it. It probably has a clean title and they are trying to get rid of it quick.

Yeah dude, that thing was raped in an accident.
Notice the non painted mirrors, the bumper could be of a junkyard quality, missing tow hook thing on the valance, extreme fade anyway, one new headlight, poorly aligned fender, the drivers side door and entire passengers side were obviously and horribly repainted.. **** the whole car was. Missing the scoop insert...
god damn!
The whole front end doesn't line up at all!! the paint isn't shiny, it's awful paint! the whole thing was destroyed then pieced back together badly, I wouldn't pay $1000 for this piece of shit!
edit: Might pay a thousand to part out the rear axle... and some other stuff... otherwise, worthless! such a horribly optimistic ad, great looking car my ass!

99 SR5 possibly for sale
Looking for a deal on a good '99 SR5, 3.4/auto, beaten up by hail? White, sunroof, cloth, auto, 4x4. NEVER been wrecked...salvage title will be due to hail body damage. I was planning to keep this truck for at least another 50k, and might still.
I just settled with the insurance co, when they totalled the SR5 due to hail damage. It has approx 150k miles. Was in very good condition before hail. now the hood is ugly, and the roof too, but who looks there? (especially with a Baja type rack). There are some slight dents on sides, but since it's white, they're hard to see. This would make a great project truck maybe. The engine and trans are solid...smooth, don't burn oil, compression seems very good. Never been wrecked or had body damage.
I have two choices: keep it and put some $ back into it, or sell it and look for something else.
From what I know, it needs:
-new shocks and at least rear springs but maybe front too.
-new brakes (am gonna do brembo rotors, not the tundra upgrade, if i keep)
-full engine/trans tuneup service
-tires have about 10% left...gonna get new AT Revos if I keep.
-the clearcoat on the factory alloys is getting bad.
I am the 2nd owner, bought it 5 years ago with 90k on it out of AZ. Never been on salted roads, very little rust underneath. Faithful oil changes and fluid changes, flushes. Interior is very good. One minor chip on froint windshield that can be rock doctored i think.
The damage is cosmetic, and with a new or like new hood, it will fix the appearance a lot. I have no idea what it is worth, and can repost this in classifieds. Best offer? What should I expect... Is $4k unreasonable?

You've got to be blind or not a car person to figure out this thing has had a major front end impact of some sort. The whole exterior has orange peel, the front end parts are all cheapo aftermarkets. Notice the quality of the headlamps and corner markers. It'd be well worth 2 grand.
