Question: Has anyone bought a car with a salvage title? Pros and (mostly) cons?

Cars 4 Bid still shows no biddersThere are services that allow mere mortals to bid on Copart salvage auctions. Cars-4-bid is one of them, there are others.
Correct, no M90, and the manual transmission could be any one of the 3 (4 spd, dogleg, or OD 5 speed if it's a late 79 car). The 5 speed was an option (rare) and if it's an early car you got the dogleg and tall rear end, later 79 cars had the OD 5 speed and a shorter final drive. The diff is a crapshoot too, the LSD was an option but not many were built. The reason being that if you wanted performance you bought the 635 because it had the dogleg 5 speed and the LSD as standard as well as the M90 3.5 engine. If you were trying to pinch pennies you could option the car with the transmission and LSD but not many did that.Pretty sure the 633csi doesn't have M90 in it. It would be a 635csi if it did.
