I was on autotrader.com, looking at this VR6 GTI, the ad says it has a 'recon title'.


Is that the same as a Salvage Title here in Calif?

Oregon teeners, please speak up.

It was rebuilt from a wreck.

Dang it, I was afraid it was going to be something like that.

Thanks Brad.


Sorry to hear about your grandmother.

Thanks Scott.

When you see something that is priced *nicely* question it..

recon=Reconstructed?f

is that the terminology used up there?

That's the Oregon word. Sometimes it's not too big a deal. On a 914 for example, a modest front end hit will be estimated at $3000 to fix. Insurance co. will total the car, owner or someone will buy back and repair it. Could still be a good car but will have a "recon" title for ever more.

Kinda like Californicated.....either way ya gonna get screwed.....
