Thumbs up Damaged 05 S2000 for 27k

I saw a 05 Yellow S2k at Lancaster Honda in the Antelope Valley with overspray on the undercarriage to the rear of the doors and they explained it only had small amount of front collision. I explained to them that if they just replaced the bumper they why all the overspray to the rear of the doors. They wanted $27k for this thing. I think they are trying to sell this thing with salvage title for that amount. Seems like they are trying to pull a fast one. Any inputs?

27K for an 05?

That's still a RIP OFF if it's in MINT condition.

BTW: If you want to know how much damage is on the car check for the VIN stickers.

1 on the bumper
2 on the fenders (must pop hood open)
1 on the hood
2 on the door jab/jams
1 on the trunk

Many more that I can't think of

They wanted is the key word. If the car has frame, they can not sell it. run a car fax, but again, they invite your to negotiate, cars get damaged, the value is up to you not them.

It still seems very high not knowing how much actual damage.

I don't think a dealer can sell a salvaged car, but a title is given when it's 70% of the value is determined.
