hey i tried posting this in the discussion but i couldnt

anyways i wanted to know when a car would be declared as a salvaged car

im looking on websites and im seeing 05 corvettes for 18000 with only front end damage so if vettes (for discussion sake) are worth 60000 that means that theres nearly 40 000 dollars worth of damage?

just a bit confused because i can pick up an 08 stang gt for pretty cheap but i dont want to be left with a piece of junk thatll cost me 30 000 to repair

Moved the thread for you.

The reason those damaged vettes are so cheap is because nobody wants to buy them. They are probably damaged beyond repair and are only good for parts. It doesn't necessarily mean they have $40,000 in damage.

What a car is worth and how much $ in damage to a vehicle are 2 different things.

okay so do u have ne tips when looking to buy a salvaged cars??

Persia

yup, dont do it :P

if its salvaged it prob has chasis which isnt worth fixing.

MPR

^^What he said...unless the vehicle has a lot of parts that are still good and usable that you need. Otherwise, don't bother.

kk thx guys

i saw one that looked like a pipe was dropped on it but i guess it would be more of a headache to fix it up cuz the airbags would have been deployed

Persia

airbag is a part... Its labour thats gonna kill u with repairing that car... and it wouldnt have ANY resale value. Also, i personally would hate knowing my car was a wreck in the past.

Let it go...
