I'm trying to get my green venison car ready to sell. I've been thinking of building an engine for it and trying to sell it as a runner. I think I could make it into a $4-$5k car (new paint, new engine, good tranny, decent interior, guranteed* no rust) but the problem is that it has a salvage title from when I hit the deer.
How does finding out a car has a salvage title affect your purchasing? * If you find rust within 6 months, I fix it free labor. |

My car has a salvage title and didn't have a problem with insurance probably because it's old age. The salvage title concerns many buyers so resale is usually lower. Anyone know the criteria where a car get's classified as "Salvage"???
I've seen lot's of rebuildable wrecks on eBay w/o salvage titles. Either the insurance or the state has loose salvage criteria. Mine was non-running at the time and there was lots of rust at only 8 years old at the time. I think it originated from a salt road state or just had many years of neglect in CA. Felix |
