914World.com _ 914World Garage _ What is a RECON title?

Posted by: Scott Carlberg Dec 5 2003, 03:17 AM

I was on autotrader.com, looking at this VR6 GTI, the ad says it has a 'recon title'.

Is that the same as a Salvage Title here in Calif?

Oregon teeners, please speak up.

Dang it, I was afraid it was going to be something like that.

Thanks Brad.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother.

When you see something that is priced *nicely* question it..

That's the Oregon word. Sometimes it's not too big a deal. On a 914 for example, a modest front end hit will be estimated at $3000 to fix. Insurance co. will total the car, owner or someone will buy back and repair it. Could still be a good car but will have a "recon" title for ever more.
