Will this be your DD or toy? I wouldn't even consider it to be a DD. 200k miles on any vehicle is a ton of miles especially since they are unknown miles with a salvage title. Id be leary of a Buy here pay here lot anyway. Have a few where I live and they are all pretty shady. I wouldn't even think twice about this truck if it were me. 38 carfax records that's quite a bit as well..... Let us know how it turns out if you decide to get the truck?

Salvage title + 200k miles + buy-here pay-here lot = run away. Actually, I wouldn't consider a vehicle with one of those, much less all 3 unless it was dirt cheap and I was just gonna bash on it

Bigthanks to sdatrlp23 for the report. This is what it says, 1 accident with light to moderate damage, it was repossessed, had a duplicate title and a corrected title issued, announced at auction as a fleet/ leased vehicle, the autocheck score is 81 Dont se why it would have a salvage title unless its something to do with the corrected title being issued

Was doing some research, when I looked at the truck, I noticed a scrape on the rear door that was just paited ovrr, but if the air bags deployed it would be given a salvage title

Not true in all states about the air bags. My mom was in an accident with a deer years ago her air bags went off and she still had a clean title on the vehicle. I don't know why it wasn't totalled but they fixed it with a clean title.
