Hello guys
Thanks for creating this awesome forum and meeting wonderful people here. I am looking to get a 2004 ford explorer eddie bauer or anything similar but I'm really interested in this one, unfortunately this car has salvage title and I am looking to the community to check if there is anything else I should be looking out for while doing my inspection day, and I will purchase the car report to see damage and other details.

Some things that I will be looking out for during my inspection today:

noises in the engine
check transmission for slips jolts etc
verify all electrics / features / lights,
coolant or oil leaks
They are asking for the price of $4,600 and it has 172000 miles with a Salvage Title.

If you guys have any suggestions on what to look at.
thanks
UPDATE
Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful comments, I decided to VIN CHECK to know more about it history, I enter the VIN number and I saw a blurred picture of the car, Luckily enough the live chat notice that I'm new customer and gave me a discount, So my interest piqued and I took a bite, I found the accidents picture of this car and the price it was sold, I want you guys to have a look and give your opinion on "If this car is worth the price or not" if the accidents is serious or not, thanks again guys for your help.

Well apart from the little list you made here
You should look into the documents very important and also test driving to know the mileage at least and engine leaks too
I got someone who deals on Fords too , the classics mostly
