Accident Indicator
Various events could indicate an accident in a vehicle's history, such as: salvage auction, fire damage, police-reported accident, crash test vehicle, damage disclosure, collision repair facility and automotive recycler records. See the glossary for more information.Airbag Deployment
Occurs when the driver, passenger or side airbag has been used or deployed during a crash or other incident. If an airbag has been deployed, new or recycled airbags must be installed for the airbag system to return to operation.Total Loss
An insurance or fleet company declares a vehicle a total loss when a claim exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value or if the vehicle is stolen and not recovered. This damage threshold varies by company. These companies typically take possession and obtain the title. Not all total loss vehicles result in a DMV-reported branded title, like a Salvage or Junk title. See the glossary for more information.Frame Damage
In most cases, a vehicle is inspected for frame damage after an accident or other incident. All levels of accidents from minor to severe can cause frame damage and in most cases it can be repaired. If frame damage is reported, having this vehicle's frame inspected before purchase is recommended.Odometer Rollback
If a more recent odometer reading is less than an older reading, then the odometer may have been tampered with and "rolled back".Manufacturer Recall
Automobile manufacturers issue recall notices to inform owners of car defects that have come to the manufacturer's attention. Recalls also suggest improvements that can be made to improve the safety of a particular vehicle. Most manufacturer recalls can be repaired at no cost to you.Basic Warranty
Most manufacturers offer a basic warranty for new vehicles. These warranties vary by manufacturer and typically last for a certain amount of time and/or a set number of miles.Salvage Title
A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value. This damage threshold may vary by state. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state. The following ten States also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MD, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR.Junk Title
A Junk Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value. This damage threshold may vary by state. The majority of states use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage.Rebuilt/Reconstructed Title
A Rebuilt/Reconstructed vehicle is a salvage vehicle that has been repaired and restored to operation. These vehicles are often severely damaged before they are rebuilt and refurbished parts are typically used during reconstruction. In most states, an inspection of the vehicle is required before the vehicle is allowed to return to the road. Loss Due To Fire Title
The vehicle sustained major damage due to fire. In most states, fire damage titles are issued when the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value.Flood Damage Title
States issue flood titles when a vehicle has been in a flood or has received extensive water damage. Hail Damage Title
The vehicle sustained major damage due to hail. In most states, hail damage titles are issued when the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value.Manufacturer Buyback or Lemon
A DMV or a state agency marks an official document or issues a Manufacturer Buyback/Lemon title when a vehicle has been repurchased by the manufacturer. Not all states issue manufacturer buyback titles and the specific requirements for a lemon law vehicle varies by state.Not Actual Mileage Title
When the seller certifies, under the Federal Odometer Act, that the odometer reading does not reflect the vehicle's actual mileage. This may occur because the odometer was tampered with, broken, or replaced.Exceeds Mechanical Limits
A vehicle with a 5-digit odometer cannot accurately track mileage after 99,999 miles because the odometer rolls over. This title is the result of a seller certifying under the Federal Odometer Act, that the odometer reading EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS of the odometer.Standard Equipment

Reviews & Opinions
Overview: Review:
Review: There were really only three so-called pony cars; the Mustang which started it all, the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac's Firebird. By this time none of them made any sense but that didn't stop people from complaining when one or another carmaker threatened to pull the plug. So these three rolling anomalies continued, pointless in the extreme, but that's possibly why people loved them so.
Best Features: Swoopy looks; Performance ; Wide range of engines; Hatchback or convertible
Worst Features: Fuel consumption; Rear seats virtually useless; Cowl flex causes squeaks; Harsh ride; Very harsh ride (Trans Am)
Reliability History: Much worse than average
Depreciation: About average
Potential Trouble: Body problems; Electrical problems

Reviews & Opinions
Overview: Review:
Review: There were really only three so-called pony cars; the Mustang which started it all, the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac's Firebird. By this time none of them made any sense but that didn't stop people from complaining when one or another carmaker threatened to pull the plug. So these three rolling anomalies continued, pointless in the extreme, but that's possibly why people loved them so.
Best Features: Swoopy looks; Performance ; Wide range of engines; Hatchback or convertible
Worst Features: Fuel consumption; Rear seats virtually useless; Cowl flex causes squeaks; Harsh ride; Very harsh ride (Trans Am)
Reliability History: Much worse than average
Depreciation: About average
Potential Trouble: Body problems; Electrical problems

If it's in good shape I'd buy it. I like the look and respond well to upgrades. Working on them isn't fun. Ask a lot of questions about the car, why he is selling it , etc. Why a gm product tho? Being this is a Ford forum.....
Anyways glad I could help.....
