[QUOTE="Fester, post: 360472, member: 6300"] I have fixed a number of salvage title vehicles. I like getting direct from the auction as I believe a number of re-sellers will pre pull the damage to make it not look as bad(would rather know what I am getting into). If fixed correctly there is nothing wrong with a salvage car. I personally take a large number of pictures to show anybody that may buy how it was fixed. Think about it this way. You buy a 2023 Chevy pickup that gets hit and to have that damage fixed it would cost 4k. The insurance company would fix it hands down. You are now driving a pickup where the title shows an accident. That exact same damage may not be repaired at let’s say 5 years old and would therefore be salvaged. Does that make the pickup not worth driving? I would say no it’s just based off the insurance company and where the loss is the least amount for them. Again if fixed right nothing wrong with them…water damage is a whole different game….never believe low water damage sale tactic. Yes transmissions these days are mostly all sealed but again some re-sellers will claim low water and I have pulled the carpet back and looked and the water was up in the dash..not so much low water. These sellers give a bad name to water damage vehicles as if it is truly low water it would be no big deal. [/QUOTE]
