[Gobird]

Possible flood victim? There could be hidden damage to the computer components that might now show themselves until slightly later.

Be very aware of what you are buying.

If a flood car I wouldn't think they could this. "

currently licensed and inspected."

I'm betting that while we black helicopter this thing to death, someone ends up with a good deal. It's happened more than once around here.

[JS2713]

Ha Ha. No black helicopters, just want to be sure people do their due diligence.
Once a car is labeled as rebuilt/salvage it should never have a "clean" title again. Look up title washing.
There are plenty of salvage cars available.

Title laws will be different in every state. In Wisconsin insuring a salvaged car is not a problem. All cars bought, whether Clean Title or Salvage Title out of state require a police inspection to verify vin # and title. I would have no problem buying a car with a salvage title. I am wondering why the bumper cover and rear quarter weren't repaired though.

We have a 2002 Ford Thunderbird Nieman Marcus with less than 200 miles on it. What is the best site to list the vehicle for sale? Thank you in advance for your response and insight.

A big auction company for sure. Nothing else will bring you as much.

[Quickdraw]

Heather, examples of big auction companies would be Barrett-Jackson https://www.barrett-jackson.com/ or Mecum https://www.mecum.com/ - they have various events around the country throughout the year. Good luck!

Thank you

Needs TLC....but a good price..worth more like 13k...[/SIZE][/FONT]

Not with a salvage title. Even be difficult to insure in some states. In Fl. salvage titles are mandatory if repair exceeds book value. Likely a hurricane car

In most (if not all) states I don't believe you can register a car with a salvage title. You would need to follow the states process to get a rebuilt title (which apparently it can also be difficult to insure). An insurer explained to me that they don't like to insure a vehicle has already bee paid out as a total loss for various reasons.

So far I have had no problems with insurance on my Cashmere.

Is it salvage or rebuilt? What insurance carrier? (I think I has spoke to State Farm)

It had a salvage title when I got the insurance, but I now have a rebuilt title. State Farm

You can in Arizona...my dad's truck was "salvaged" after being hit in the rear (he's had it since new in 2001 - 65K miles on it). It was drivable, but the rear part of frame was bent downward (bed tilts toward back).
AZ DMV told him to go to body shop (they provided list of shops) and have them sign off on it being road worthy (without any type of repair) - he did, and Arizona registered it. It shows "salvaged" on the title/registration, but it's now able to be licensed by the State every year, without any repair.
