Salvage title

Am I missing something with "Salvage Title" cars? In California, where the car is for sale, it defines a salvaged vehicle as one that has been either totally destroyed or damaged beyond what the insurance company is willing to pay to fix it

The car is a 2010 boxster, with 47k miles, fo $27000. The add says

Quote:
"This is a beautiful example of a 2010 Porsche Boxster. The car is in fantastic condition and looks near new. It does have a salvage title However this was due to the previous and only owner leaving the top down in the rain. The only repairs required where re upholstered seat bottoms and a new rear control unit."
So what am i missing? I would expect a car like this to go for about $40K. Why would an insurance company total a car for just upholstery and a control unit? I've never owned a Porsche, but does upholstered seats and a control unit cost $40K???

Is this a car that one should run away from very fast and never look back?
