Looks like someone ralphed in the back seat. InsCos will "total" vehicles for little or no reason.
Just to give you guys an idea of what you can run into-
For years my brother and several of his peers worked for a company that rebuilt cars
The title laws were quite a bit different back then and it was a pretty lucrative business
One time they found a shoe in a car- Itās still had a foot in it.

My ex-employer that I retired from, had summer interns every year. I was in a vanpool. Several times, they rented a smaller vehicle for our group, and let the interns use our van. One year, at least one of the interns ralphed all over the inside of the thing. It was an expensive cleanup job...
That brings to mind a horrific story here about 20 or more years ago where there was a terrible wreck with no survivors and one of the cars was hauled to the storage yard, the next day the storage yard called the police back to retrieve the body of an infant nobody had seen.
Oh lord. That stuff happens.
You know people question things like that- they donāt realize it was two in the morning on a rainy night and carnage.....
It was like the photographs of the concentration camp officers surrendering- then being gunned down.
In the 90ās the soldiers were looked up and questioned.....their response- āIf you had been there you would understandā.
Reality aināt easy.
Years ago a buddy bought a Willy wagon that was the scene of a suicide by gunshot. Think it sat buried in snow all winter before it was found an the smell and the "goo" that migrated between the panes of the safety glass never left. Was worse when it got hot outside. He didn't keep it.
I bought a salvage titled LJ June 2023. I could not find anything wrong with it other than no soft top, and some scuffs in the paint. Drove straight, had it up on a rack, nothing, and 98% rust free. The police report was even pretty vague. Best i could figure was vandalism and it got totaled because of the cost of a top and frame.
Those dates of 2022 is still at the tail end of Covid. Supply chain issues, shortages, etc. I heard many vehicles got totalled out by insurance because they could not be repaired in a timely manner. Parts and labor shortages.
Salvage Title can save you some money. BUT if you need it operable for the road and insurable check your provider. I just had to bring mine to my Agent for pics and I have full coverage. Also know that the salvage stain is on that Title FOREVER so 3yrs from now should you decide to sell it will not bring full value, most dealers wont take it as a trade, etc.
