Salvaged DMV Cert., Does it matter anymore! Options

[PlantMan]

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)

But..the issue is here...not just a car....something that we all "hope" appreciates over time.

The question becomes...if the scarcity is significant enough...does it matter or does the opposite matter?

If it was a rare 356 ...would you care? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I would not care at all. How many of these cars are left and those that are probably need some restoration help... I would think.
Take a look around to see how many +30 year old cars are on the road. There are not many in my neighborhood except for the occasional CJ5 or CJ7 maybe an old Ford F150 or Dodge Ram, I usually see a lot of old trucks than cars. You see a nice 911 from time to time but a 356, 914, 912 is a rare sighting.

I guess what I am getting at is that after a certain time frame a Salvage title should be dropped by the DMV if a car is over a certain age. Most of our cars are over 40+ years all ready, haven't we all done our part in salvaging a car that might have otherwise been sent to the car crusher???

We should all be given a Major Award! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
