Buying a salvage/rebuilt car?

You are not being compensated enough for the risk.

At most, pay 65-70% of what an identical non-wrecked car would go for. And then only if you planned to drive it forever.

2 things about prior salvage or major rebuilds, Insurance or dealer on a trade will fight to give you even 50%.

Now, if its not branded, that helps some. but its still risky. There is no such thing as a clean title with a salvage history. Its one or the other.

The salvage history follows it forever. If you sell it without disclosing it, expect to be sued and lose.

If you planned on keeping it 10 years, then maybe its worth considering. But if you plan to resell in a year or two you are going to take a HUGE BATH.

Oh and a prior salvage VOIDS the entire factory warranty. You have nothing as far as a factory warranty left.

are they going to put it in writing that they'll "take care of you" probably won't get anything under warranty from the dealer if something goes wrong. call a insurance agent to see what their going to charge you. also the car will need to be inspected by your state's DMV before they consider it road worthy. the other thing once you drive it off the lot the car won't be 13k anymore with that title its worth about 9k no matter how well its fixed. you can't get rid of that salvage title. it with the car forever

Just say No to a salvage car. They are unsafe and uninsurable.

I have had good luck with salvage cars myself. I did the repair work on them though and knew exactly what had been done, and HOW it was done.

Don't buy it. Anything you save now you'll lose when you sell it on.

I often end up asking the same thing on other sites
