Potential to buy Wrecked 2003 For F-350 for $900

Seems these types of post are commonplace at the moment. But I'm hoping some of you seasoned folks could assist (Cough.. Liberty..Cory) :-)
I have not seen it yet, I am going to take a look tomorrow at it, but a friend of my Father-In-Law calls me and says "My son got hit a couple nights ago, Insurance Company has totalled it, he can buyback for $900 and would sell it to me at $900. I will have to look at it tomorrow at noon or 1 and make my decision then. Damage is the Front Passenger Wheel, Fender and Door- Internal Damage is not known.

This would be issued a SALVAGE title.. as per his insurance rep. I have no dealings with trying to register a vehicle with a Salvage Title- My understanding is that SOME Insurance companies will not take on a vehicle with a Salvage Title.

So My thoughts at the moment are:
1. Get it Fixed- Sell it off
2. Part it Out

Scrapping it is Not an option sadly (nor should it be the way the guy says other than recent damage- the truck is cherry) The weight won't pay for it, has steel rims, no alum, Curb is about 6,007 lbs- Net about $600 at the yard.



Heavy Duty Tow Package, not an abused truck- worked, but not beaten to *#&#!

Any thoughts- Buy? Pass? Thanks Gents!
Wish I had more info to go on, a picture or 10 to show you. Hopefully you guys may have some insight even "sight unseen"
Thanks!
