o snap i put a c where a s shoulda been omg!!!and i just put the price in the middle of what most ppl are asking for their 96-00's on there to see what happens...who's to say that the price is firm?...so meh. Whatever happens, happens.
BTW, an all out Salvage title (non-Prior) cannot be driven. Salvage title (to me) = Junk title (a term they have in WI, I had tried to buy a MR2 from a salvage broker there around 6 months ago bc it had a nice body and ran good, but had a junk title = it couldn't be registered, so I just said fuck it.)...meaning the car cannot be driven on the streets. This is why prior salvage titles are more common, they are cars that can actually be driven......this is what I was told by the salvage broker, so I'm just basing this off of what they told me.
So according to you, my car isn't legal to drive?
The auto title also includes the word "salvage" if the vehicle was in an auto accident that the insurance company claimed was a total loss. In this case the car was "junked," then subsequently bought from the junk dealer by a third party to be repaired and resold. When this is done legally, the auto title shows it as a salvaged vehicle.
Salvaged vehicles sell for far less than a comparable unsalvaged vehicle, giving incentive to some unscrupulous people to keep this knowledge from prospective buyers in order to get full market price.

I was just going by that the salvage broker told me...so i take it your car is just plain salvage and doesn't have the word "prior" or "previous" in it?I've honestly never looked at it, know it's salvage title though.

Go figure torbs wants someone to pay for his time to sell his car. What a fucking tool. Now everyone go mark it as spam.

Haha...I got the title right in front of me and it says "Previous Salvage"...kthxbyeplease don't talk outa your ass...
Once it is labeled as a "salvage" title in one way or another, it **IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE **a slavage title no matter how it is worded making it worth **alot less **than an equal car without prior damage. It doesn't mean shit valuewise whether its been fixed or not. It's like a criminal history for your car plain and simple.

ya ive been there... my 99 mercury cougar was a "prior salvage" and that base average asking price for my condition was 5k but i could only sel it for 3k and it was hard enough to get that.....a slvage title plays a BIG part in the price of the car...so you cant be asking that much for it because did you do all the work to restore it yourself? or kno who did? because there could be shit still not right in it if not. you never kno. could have been just a cosmetic or cheap ass fix...."salvage title" usually averages out to about half what the car is worth....excluding mods
