How much would the total parts and repairs be? He spent $12k for the car. What if the total parts and repairs costs $10k. I could've gotten a 03' clean title for $24k +/-.
Long term investment. He better keep it long term because people are hesitant to buy vehicles with salvaged titles, even if it's the car of their dreams.
My questions is...do dealers perform services on salvaged titles? I heard no because of liability issues.

the dealer dosent do service on salvaged cars, even if you had a accident the car has to be fixed at their recommended bodyshop.
i dont think you would be able to get a 03 FULLY LOADED with NAV for 24k. thats why he really wanted it.
