He has already told you it is a salvaged title. Sounds like it would be worth it to you to pay $ 250 or so to get a thorough inspection from a local mechanic. If it saves you 6 grand it would still be worth it.
Sometimes insurance companies salvage a car for no reason. Other times they are right. Best bet would be the inspection.
