As an '03 RS6 owner I agree with Doug on the maintenance points: Transmission? $8000 at the dealer. Deer strike? Total it. Timing Belt change? Drop the motor (or tear off the front clip). Every twist of the key is like a crazy financial version of Russian roulette. 8 months of blissful, trouble-free, twin turbo…

Good idea. Always google the VIN.

The permanency of the internet helps with this. Plug the VIN into google and look at how it sat on the Copart lot. Not comprehensive but can lend additional clues to the damage severity.

Yes, this plus vehicle parts availability/rarity and point on the depreciation curve. Ex: Audi RS6 + deer hit, almost always = totaled car yet totally repairable in the garage and a trip to the paint shop.

I would read the "Here is why you would want a salvage vehicle". The racers/modders audience support this.

Yes, this. Also people forget to mention the two or three finance liens on the "Clean Title".
