Car came from Virginia, sold as a total loss at an auction in Florida May of this year. It shows as a non-collision total loss though. So it could have been a theft recovery being resold by the insurance company. Total loss generally means that an insurance claim for the amount of the vehicle was paid out. So if my car got stolen, and only made it 2 blocks before it got ditched, but the police didn't find it before the time frame the insurance company had set to deal with my claim, they would pay me out and when the police did find the car it would now belong to the insurance company, and they would have to sell it as a total loss vehicle. Or it could be 3 Insights glued together to make 1, and the "non-collision" isn't correct. It's an old car, don't buy it until you look at it yourself or have someone look at it for you is my advice. Good luck.
