Re: salvage titles
How about a little input from a rebuider-
Every week I buy and see cars with salvage on the title, some for parts and some to repair. I personnally don't repair "killed" stuff with major frame damage. Over the years I have bought a ton of wrecked, flood and fire cars that I have got in and drove them home from the "salvage sale". So in a nutshell it's not "buyer beware" as someone posted just common sense. I would like to think that anyone on this forum has enough common sense to look before you buy and ask lots of questions. Take it to a body shop or someone that knows what has been done and was it repaired correctly???
You can save some dollars if you don't mind the Salvage title and if the vehicle is several thousand cheaper than a comparable one because when you sell you're going to get less.
How about a 69 Yenko, all original w/ salvage on the title?? would this imaginary car only be worth 20K versus 120K for a clean title?? I don't think so
