Offer $14k if they accept the offer- buy it!!!
You will never get any better deal.
The title is not that much of an issue if car was repaired properly.
Do not listen to people drivin' cars with 'clean' title and tons of bondo all over.
Carfax is a scam- if the accident was never claimed you will never know if the car you r buying is 'clean' or not.
Most people are buying titles,not cars...
The mentality seems to be-"I am buying,but at the same time I am already thinking of sale..."
It's like buying a label, not the actual wear.
