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. |

I haven't heard of the "salvage yard = salvage title" scenario. Maybe that's only in other states. I've only heard of them from when the cost of repair is higher than the value of the car it's totaled by the insurance co. and gets a salvage title.
I just wanted to get a feeling for how the general consensus thought. Seems like it might be worth investing the money to build the engine and paint the car. If anyone is looking for a car and likes the sound of this one let me know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
