+1 Unfortunately people buy what they want/wallet can afford and not neccessarily what they are capable of handling.

Opinions on this will vary Spartan as you can imagine but I've always seen my cars as an investment. You may save some money buying a salvage, and even if the car turned out great, you will lose money later on by taking a hit when it comes time to sell that vehicle. I was getting offers of $20k when I put my 2007 Jeep Wrangler up for sale a few months ago, it only had 10,000 miles on it and was well cared for, but I would have gotten no where near that amount if it was a salvage.

Depending on what your plans are a salvage can save you some cabbage but in my mind it's too much of a risk. I've rarely seen an investment of in damaged good's turn out well.

I wonder if there's any disadvantages of buying a repaired salvage Camaro? I know warranty is thrown out the window, but I wonder if insurance rates are any higher? There's some sweet repaired Camaros up for auction!
it will buff out,

For a vehicle of relatively small production numbers, there are a hell of a lot of smashed Camaros out there. Do American drivers get distracted easily from the complex task of threading a 1.7 ton piece of machinery through traffic? Or do they just hop into their cars turn on the ignition, and hope for the best.

You mean your LT? RS is only a package, not a model.

I see you attempted to fix it by putting oil back in it. (In the bottom left.)

They were probably michigan drivers.

Everyone in America, in reality is alot of foreigners hitting things, putting the blame on someone else, and not paying taxes.
