While it looks clean in the pictures, the damage is not minor and was enough for the insurance company to total the car. It has a salvage title and frame damage in the rear.

I saw the damage with my own eyes, and bid on the car myself, but not enough to win it. I will try to dig up some pictures of it if I can find it.

You came here to MN and bid on it? The car was/is local to me. I too have seen the damage myself. The frame is bent and you can easily tell from looking at several parts of the car.

Alright you caught me.. I bid on it online lol. I guess pictures can lie. All that I saw was a dent on the quarter panel and the front bumper assembly removed. I was kinda puzzled why they would issue the vehicle a total loss only because of that. I guess I know now.

For $57k and a salvage title, I'd stay away from it. Cars like this are supposed to be fun, not headaches.

Seriously guys, you don't get a salvage title from minor damage.

I would run away, there are too many good cars out there that can be bought for a steal during a recession.
