Default S2000 guys need advice.

Last night I went and test drove a 05 S2000 , it has a little over 31,000 miles on it. It runs really strong, and a blast to drive. They are asking $18,000 for it due to the car having a Salvage Title, we ran the car-fax and it came back with a salvage title due to flood damage. When I looked under the hood, there was little rust on the nuts on the shocks , minor rust on the engine, not the block itself, just one of the hoses/connector. Something Im sure honda can easily replace. Do you guys think its a good deal or should I just walk away and move on the the next one ?

F@ck NO! Don't pay that much for a salvaged title! Slap the seller with your car fax report! Tell him JDM J said so! lol
