What are the cons to a salvaged title if the 914 is in running condition with very minimal rust?
peace, Chuck |

I just spoke Nathan, the cars owner. He says the Salvage title is because it was sold by an auto shop to cover the PO bill/debt; as far as he knows it wasn't wrecked. He's owned it for 2+ yrs. He said there is some rust on the fire wall but the battery tray is fine, some small spots on the longs but he gets no flex when it's jacked up. I asked him if the doors open and close fine with the top off; he said they did.
I'll see if someone from the Denver area can PPI it for me like several of you suggested, then maybe I'll be on my way to owning my dream car! peace, chuck |

If so they may consider the salvage title a wreck car, and ask you to repair the damage.. in your case the damege does not exist....do your homework.. |

Not sure if I would register it here or not...maybe eventually but I'm not too keen on street parking a 914 here the way people aim for bumpers when parallel parking. ':) My plan is to park it in my father's garage in PA and work on it there with him on weekends, maybe even leave it there when it's finished. Then use it for trips to the Adorondaks and the gunks in the summer. Not sure how my insurance is going to handle that either, I'll give GEICO a call. I will definitely look more into the title and registration in both states. |
