I found this on ebay this morning. What's interesting to me is how 10k in parts can fix this car. I thought that insurance companies didn't declare a vehicle unrepairable, ie., salvaged, unless it had lost more than 50% of it's value because of accident and/or theft.

Either way, in my opinion,it's a poor purchase for anyone.

How Insurance co. total a car is when the salvage bid from salvage yard and the estimate to repair are more than the value of the car. Other factors enter in, rental car cost, how big a pri-- of an Att. they have. I have seen cars totalled less. This car has a lot more damage that 10,000.00
