...salvage title, owner has more car than house so it's not likely maintained well...

Unless you have a body shop and do your own wrenching it's probably best that is was missed.

that's a RL'ers car, it was in the classifieds.

IIRC it was salvaged by the original owner, he bought it as a track toy primarily.

Wow, that's a pretty bold assumption.

Even if it does need a little work (doesn't appear so), that's one helluva car for the price. I could quickly look past that salvage title, assuming it was repaired correctly.

I know this car and it's owner Jon. This GT3 and it's driver run circles around most. The car is impeccably maintained and set up extremely well. Car was repaired and when John bought it as a track toy he upgraded the heck out of it. In person the car is a stunner. Cracked windshield aside that is about the only "story" on this one since it is very fairly priced to account for it's history.

Stupid question, but why sell a $50K car with a cracked windshield?? 98% of all insurance polices (ALL that I have ever had) are no cost glass replacement.... seems kind of silly to me.
