I cant say I have seen many Salvaged DMV Certs on 914's but I did come across a 912E with Salvaged paper work recently and I thought, 'Who cares!', I would still buy it. I know for the PCA club member guy/gal this may be a big problem but if you are lucky to find and own one of these car that are 30-40 years old already aren't we all salvaging them to a certain extent anyways? Is it going to be a big deal to the next guy?

There are a great number of 914's being transplanted with 6's, Subaru pwr, or something similar. There are others buying 'Rollers' and building them up to track or as a DD or maybe even show. I know when I was looking for a 911SC a couple years ago you could find a Salvaged car every once in awhile for a 6k-8k difference and it was still a great looking vehicle! The Salvaged 911's where usually purchased by the race or track guys because it did not matter to them.

There are a lot of good deals on Salvaged cars and I am always tempted by their lower cost but hesitant of the Salvaged cert. I am slowly coming around though and if the right car comes up I might go for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
