Just curious, if you knew it was totalled/salvage title, why'd you buy it? Did you get a good deal on it?
well the dude that sold it to me said it was a clean title at first. later after he showed me the title, i noticed it said salvage rebuilt. he seemed shocked about it, claimed that he didnt know and that made me upset. so he lowered the price a little and at the same time i kind of had that impulse to buy it since i didnt think anything was extremely wrong with it except a few cosmetic cracks that could only be seen up close. i gave it a test ride and it was fine. it was the cheapest deal on craigslist so far and all the other sellers were trying to sell their ninjettes for up to 4,500 which blew my mind.
