If the title was branded the car will have to go through State re-certification and even then will still carry a brand. Title brands can be washed but you will need to sell it out of and then back into the state. Sometimes titles are not branded but it depends on the state, age of the car and how "totaled" it is. A $ total is not the same as a smashed into a lump total. I cashed a total - salvage check on my Benz E320 and spent a small fraction having the car repaired to new condition with all new OEM parts. The cars age and the state kept it from being branded. insurance co did not even drop the car or increase the rates go figure.
The car does not have a frame and a alinement check will tell you little it needs to be set up and the way points measured. it might be a deal it might be a total frigging headache.
We have an 09 PDK drop top that has an issue in the brain with the alarm. Can't seem to figure it out and it sits and sits. i am thinking of lowballing it and dealing with it myself.
