This car is legit. The story is documented and the car is worth every bit of 35K. Will he get that? Not likely. But it is worth it. What price would you suggest he start at?

Always in the market and monitoring activity of vehicles of my interest.
Legit in what sense? It was in a news paper because a car t-boned it in a showroom? What was the repair processes to fix the qtr panel, b pillar, rocker, how's the door seal with respect to air and water? What was the replacement materials used? What's the inside of the panels look like with the repair? Already rusting away with decay? Does not matter if there's paper work backing it or not. Too easy to deceive with documents in today day and age.
R-title vehicles hold no 'book' value. Good faith on buyer and sellers part. Pricing anywhere near a clean titled example of a car is naive on both the sellers and buyers part.
Safety is another issue if improperly repaired. Who wants to prove that point wrong/right? Google some r-title and salvage cars hack repairs fail in crashes. Unless you yourself did the work or contract the work yourself... Unforgiving results may impact your life.
Insurance companies will not insure that car near $35k as an r-title. So you're n a financial gamble just driving down the road.
The true cost for a vehicle is not what the initial purchase price is, but what you lose/gain while owning and parting ways with the vehicle.
So, no. That car is 'worth' nothing near $35k. Spend a few thousand more and have a true solid vehicle with liquidity backing it.
