Message	EVERYONE with a salvage title claims the accident it was in was minor but for a 96 with 8310 miles it would have to have sustained significant damage(frame) for the insurance company to total it. Especially if as you say all that needed replacing was the fender bumper and door. I gurantee there was more to it that than it or it wouldn't have been totaled. When did the accident happen? I think your best bet would be to part it out. With 8k im sure most parts are near pristine. Also the demand for a usdm tt front clip is in quite high demand especially one with 8k. In the end I think the salvage title is gonna hurt you pretty bad. People who would drop 20k plus do it because they want a PERFECT z. You would be extremely lucky to get 12k now
