Carfax shows Flood damage,mileage inconsistency and 5 owners with the last owner buying it 2 months ago.............Carfax history based retail $19000 is what they are showing.
How many miles have you put on it ?? I am assuming since its not on the carfax the title is not actual miles or exempt?

Too bad for whomever purchased the car based on the ad. Still left in that the water only went to the wheels yet he stated here it went into the car and carpet was wet. Wet carpet means all the electronics, wiring, etc on the floor got wet. Lots of connectors there prone to rust and rot if wet.
Ad also states he just did the oil change with new tires and brake pads, yet that is the same thing listed by the previous owner on the MacDill Air Force Base ad with 38,500 miles. So, in truth, this current owner did not have those items serviced and in reality, the guy from who he bought it serviced it.
I am a very low volume used car dealer and there is no way you knock off just $10k for a salvaged vehicle. 50% is more along the lines. One of my current vehicles is a salvaged title 2012 Nissan Titan Pro 4X with 63k miles. Was owned by my dad and he bought it new. He smokes cigars and one stayed lit...caught his paperwork on fire in the console. Fire damage was only to the floor console and headliner with smoke damage all over. $29,000 truck deemed total loss due to the smoke damage in the cab (gauges, etc) and on the curtain air bags. I bought the truck back from the insurance company for $1200. He drove it from Houston to Dallas a few minutes after the fire was put out so it ran fine. I changed the console, headliner and had it cleaned and now I use it to haul cars around and as my ranch vehicle. Point is, if insurance companies take losses, there is a reason behind it. Additionally, insurance salvage cars are sold for pennies on the dollar, which is also why the price should be cut by at least half.
