Hey Guys,
Im new here but ive been over on SVTP for a while. Anyways, i drove up north last weekend to the redding area to look at an 03 cobra. Car was clean and ran and drove good, and the price was right, so I gave the seller a deposit of $200. Now he had told me on the phone and in person that the car had a clean title. I am supposed to pick the car up saturday. So, last night i run the carfax, and it was wrecked back in 03 and carries a salvage title.
I would still like to purchase the car, but I feel the seller either needs to
A: refund my deposit
B: Sell the car for cheaper due to the title issue.
If he refuses either, what should I do? Its only $200, so im not going to loose sleep over it, but at the same time....its $200 ya know.
Any thoughts boys?

That's a bad sign.... If he did not tell you that it was salvaged and what happened there's something wrong with the deal. He should have known it was salvaged because it would say so on the title.
A salvaged title 03/04 Cobra is worth considerably less than one with a Clean title. We're talking thousands.
All the signs of a deal that I would stay away from. Get your deposit back and keep looking.

He should give you the money back because if the car is a prior salvage title then its obviously not what he advertised it to be.
You can go to court and get that back.
Keep in mind, cars can have a salvage title out of state and then come out clean when it gets registered in california.
This is why i always do a carfax no matter what the title says here.

Get your money back and find a different car. He should compensate your gas in my opinion as well.
