I wouldn't really consider this a "salvaged" vehicle. On paper it seems to have been simply damaged and fully repaired (unless I am missing something). I would imagine it's value would be consistent with any other coupe minus whatever depreciation of value occured based on the amount of the acident. The best way to do that however is to get the car in your possession somehow, take it to an appraiser, and inform them of the damage and how much were the damage costs.
If the car was not totalled and it still looks and drives normal, I might offer whatever book value is minus 1/2 of the repair cost at maximum. I would ask for all service records. If the accident was indeed long ago, I would feel more secure about buying it than if the accident were recent. They would have had time to work out any bugs resulting from the accident if any.

I would second you recommendations however to have the car inspected.
I'm not sure about that states requirements, but in my sate this car, for whatever reason, would have to had been considered a total loss. Now, explain to me how a "little accident" results in the car being totaled. Obviously the seller is not telling us exactly what happened. There could have been major water damage, etc. I just don't see how you can buy with confidence if you don't know the whole story.

Wow, what a liar!
He said there was no frame damage. I feel bad for the guys bidding on it. I'm actually going to PM the guy on eBay and tell him that I ran up a CARFAX and frame damage was reported.
Good find! Allthough from the pics, the car does look great, so it is deceiving.
