I Hate Car Shopping

Want to hear a funny story? Too bad, I'm going to tell you about whatever I feel like so read on and shut up. I have been looking for a new car. I found one pretty close that seemed quite cheap. I got a carfax and it turns out that the car had a salvaged title. This could mean a bunch of stuff so I called my insurance guy to see what he thought of the situation. He said he could at least find out if the car was totaled out because of comprehensive or collision. He called back a while later with some interesting news. The car is currently at a dealership in Michigan. Less than two months ago, it took a dive off a road in West Virginia ruining just about everything on the exterior of the car. The front end was torn up, the back end was torn up, the underside was ruined, the windshield was trashed. The car was totaled out just from the damage that was immediately obvious without any tear down that could have revealed more damage. The total was over 17 thousand dollars. I think I am going to have to pass on this one. There is no way everything was repaired properly if the people selling it are still going to make money.
