There is no way that I would pay over KBB for a car that was salvaged.
I paid 6200 for my 99 with mods (194k).
Good luck! | | | | | 10-16-2007, 04:20 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 |
Yeah. In some cases having a salvage title can be a bad thing. So make sure you understand what it may mean to have that kind of title to your resale if you ever chose to sell it, your insurance rates, any required inspections, etc...
I'd also make sure to have a professional check out the rear to make sure it was repaired properly. To many people look at a car after a wreck and say "no frame damage" but never really put it on a frame rack and check. Definitely no more than wholesale KBB value. | | | | | 10-23-2007, 07:00 PM | #6 | | Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Ventura County Posts: 55 |
IMO that is too much for a salvaged title. | | | | |
