Default Hey.....need advice

Well I am just a kid....and not too much money.

The cars I was thinking of were the 04 GTO, and a Mustang GT. The old models are nice, but I don't like them nearly as much as I like the new model.
Since money is not easy to come by for me....I have seen alot of these "salvage/insurance recovery" websites and cars. Some of the cars look trashed, but some look like all I would need to have done is some body work. Does anyone know of any trust-worthy places that do this type of business? Does anyone know what NOT to get if it says it in the listings?

Thanks!

dont buy a salvage title car or one that was in a serious car crash its not worth the money. Just buy a 99-02 gt for around 14k and call it a day.
edit: how much are you looking to spend on a car

well....I was thinking of somewhere between 15-18k.....there are a few 04 GTO's for 17500 and lower. As to "new" I mean the 05+ models.
Salvage wise though I just thought you could get them for alot cheaper and put a few thousand into them to get them fixed up
