salvage title has a big effect on your asking price, at least for me.
9 times out of 10, I'll just avoid it. $8k for a salvage title, you're dreaming. Others may argue, but put it out there for that, and you'll see soon enough, nobody will buy it, as you can get a very nice condition '73 or '74 2.0 for $8k. I wouldn't even look at a salvage price over $5k.
from the sound of your description, you've done a ton of work. If you want to get serious coin, you'll need much more impressive photos.
JMHO. good luck.
I agree. Most buyers will not know this and perhaps it isn't true of other states but I just bought Jim Chamber's Bumblebee Racer. It is salvage titled. I am having a bitch of a time with the DMV and CHP because anything that is salvage titled requires an inspection by CHP before it can be driven on California roads. It doesn't matter if it was inspected by another state and found safe, it must be reinspected. The worse part is that there is only one office that does this in Sacramento and she keeps telling me that she is not taking appointments at this time.
Salvage title does have an effect. It helps if you can tell the buyer why it was salvage titled. This was the kicker for me on the BBR.
