I have a chance to pick up a 2000 Audi S4 with 60k for 8700 but it has a salvage title

since it was stolen. Its straight from the auction, nothing done to it. There is no damage to it, it was recovered before it could be striped. Its also a 6-speed. Should I pick it up?

The resale thing is whats keeping me from getting it....

just in case I want to sell it in the future, its going to be hard to get rid of.

wouldn't that be odd for a stolen car to be recovered and have no damage done but be....

salvaged?

Just seems weird to me.

If the car was gone for a long time and the insurance company paid the original owner but then the car is found undamaged (let's say 3 months later) couldn't the insurance company sell it as a clean titled car?

Something is fishy IMO. I bet you'll find something big that needs to get done to it.
