because the messicans that are selling teh car always say, "its just a minor accidente." J/K I just don't like to buy something thats most likely has been repaired at someone's back yard using the cheapest part possible. A house next to mine repairs damage cars and they are messicans. When I was looking for a car, the majority of the cars that were being sold by some messican was "fixed" and clean title. Any person with some knowlege could easitly tell that the car was repaired. I have encountered some folks that tried to lie to me that the car was never in an accident and when I pointed out the obvious reasons, they would replay, "I don't know anything about that, it must have been from teh previous owner. PS I am not a racist. I am just stating my ignorance.

Beacuse it's iffy, the body may be repaired but the frame wasn't. People are sketch and you never know what they did. They are cheaper though :hsugh:

also harder to insure and almost impossible to finance salvaged cars
