I bought a 2012 Chevy Malibu even though it had a salvage title and I've had nothing but trouble. I love the way it drives I love the way it looks but there since it was wrecked I shouldn't have bought it. The reason I did because I had a car that got a hit by a semi had bad front end damage and I got it fixed and it was fine ..so beware
