There's a 2006 Crysler Pacifica that was purchased from an insurance auction....it had "Interior Burn" - which makes me think someone was smoking and dropped their cigarette....anyways they've replaced everything inside....just waiting on the seats....and it's been inspected by the state and given a salvage title allowing it to be driven on the road.
This thing only has like 11k miles on it....and they're selling it for $10,500....would you buy it? It'd be our family vehicle. I'd REALLY like to hear Logical reply's from Mechanics etc....and stay away from emotional "what-if's"....I already have enough "what-if's" in my head already! Thanks!

if possible you should have the car taken to a shop and pay to have it inspected by them . if you cant take the car to the mechanic then maybe you could hire one to come and see the car on site.

I would avoid any car with a salvage title. From a purely financial perspective, you will have a very difficult time selling this vehicle, ever. You may even have a hard time having it insured or financed.
From a mechanical point of view, you don't really know what happened to it. I find it suspicious that an insurance company would total an almost new car for interior damage as you describe. I suspect it was a lot worse than an interior burn. I would really stay away.

The price sounds fair - half of what Kelly Blue Book requests for the same car with clean title.
Just remember that it will be almost impossible for you to resell this car. No one wants a salvage title.
Also, don't buy the car without some kind of warranty. There's a chance the fire did damage that can't be seen.
