First time joining a group, hopefully got those pictures attached! I was in the market for a used car but didnt "need" one at the moment and had been holding out for something special. I ran across this 2016 at a salvage dealer in ND here, its had a unloved life so far. Registered 10/16 in Michigan and an accident at 1900miles 12/16. Repaired and ended up in Colorado in 2017 then accident 08/21 and totalled at 18,750 miles. For the life of me I cannot figure out what those people did to this car for that dent all along the side of the driverside roof, but zero wind noise and doors seal fine. Interior is mint, drives great minus the bushing in the rear sway bar and apim for sync is shot i believe after trouble shooting, dealer ordered one and included it on the deal (16k did i get smoked?). Got 1200 off from origial asking price for the small things on the car and will use forscan to program that apim once its here. Purchased a week ago and so far have changed oil to pennzoil ultra, replaced a o2 sensor, GH AO tune,170 thermostat, 3 bar map and plugs. intake coming As well, just need to service the PTU once we get a little warmer here in the artic. Would it be wise to drain and fill trans/ rear end too? Sorry for the long post, but I am excited to start a project! (Also not worried about reselling with the salvage title, I put a pile of highway miles on for work and will have it for sometime.)

Thanks for reading through!

Welcome. Mine came with a rebuilt title itself, owned almost a year with no issues. I look at it as if the repairs where done right there's no shame in saving a bunch of money.

And never hurts to change all the fluids after purchasing a used car. Even with your low miles.
