    Would you buy a 2003 Dakota R/T CC with low miles (under 50k) that had a salvage title that you are sure had been repaired for $6k ?

    Depends on what had been done,and are you buying with cash.
    If your taking out a loan,insurance could be show stopper.

    It had also be really clean for 6k.

    Would need proof of proper repairs. As well as proper state inspections as required. Ohio requires vehicle inspection to put salvage title back on the road.

    And as said... Bank may not loan that much if anything on a salvage title.

    It doesn't take a whole lot of damage for an insurance company to total an old truck with a low book value.
    I had a Toyota 4x4 that my son got rear ended in and it pushed the bed into the back of the cab and put a small dent the size of a fist in the cab. I bought it back from the insurance company and we drove it for quite some time after that. Now go buy it for 4k.

    If its clean,everything checks out,and its what you are looking for,why not.

    Good luck in your decision!

    I might not hurt to have the front end checked out by an alignment shop first if you can swing it.
    Your problem isn't the problem. Your reaction is the problem.

    i had the sickness a while, i had a 2001 R/t that i bought cheap a year ago or so but needed a shitt load of work done to get on the road (more than i bargained for) , i failed and so sold it.

    This ones clean and a keeper, has a few minor (hopefully) issues, and i am pleased.
