Likely because of this:
"Vehicle is sold as-is, no warranty due to a salvage title."

[8600RPM]

Yep that will do it !

[BimmerRookie]

It'll be interesting to read up on what sort of damage gave it its salvage title. I'm not sure on what grounds the salvage title is given, but if it's something small, can it be overlooked?

Can anyone chime in on that?

[8600RPM]

That's a lot of money for salvage. It should be,20k bucks for a salvaged one of that sge

[Yvette]

Pretty high for salvage title

It can, possibly, be overlooked if it's your lifetime driver. Sometimes a car is stolen, found months later with some easily sale able parts missing and the insurance company already paid it off.
Salvage is Only a deal if you'll drive it till the wheels come off. Good luck selling it three years later with 70k miles

Or because race car.

It probably had flood damage to it. I seen allot of cars that had flood damage, and still looks flawless but was given the salvage title because of it.

Looks like it has an e92 rear section...

I wouldn't touch it.

[kb9uwu]

Limp mode! Nice! And yes, that's a E92 exhaust...

[Helmsman]

Why can't they even be bothered with covering it up...?! Was that on the sales site?

[nah dude]

Why is half the glass broken? It wasn't like that in their listing?

Seriously, $20k? Salvage titles typically fetch 30-35% less than their clean title counterparts. That would put this cars value close to $30k.

If you want a good e92 M3 you have to pay to play.

Obviously this one is dirt cheap for a reason, there it is :

VIN: WBSPM9C58BE203554 has been identified as a vehicle listed in the VINCheckSM Salvage Records.

Date of loss: 2014-02-06
Cause of loss: Flood

[Bushum]

Well if it wasn't flooded before, it is now! What kind of inconsiderate moron leaves it open to the elements?

...the moron who will never get this car sold!

Personally I wouldn't touch a salvage car for a myriad of reasons including safety and resale ability regardless of asking price...
Of course each and every seller will usually mitigate the reasons why the car was given a salvage title (some little old lady lost the car one day and it wasn't found until last week...etc...) but those are usually snake oil salesmen in sheep's clothing. Besides the car itself I pay very close attention to who is selling it and their history with the car. The "best" deals are usually found from original owners that babied the car, have full documentation, and are willing to negotiate a good deal for both parties.
