@Jamesboy2233 speaking of Nissan/Datto trans. But yours doesnt lift like this. Massive barbell haha

 

Salvage title vehicles are usually a good deal, mostly just stupid body damage and a good drivetrain

 

I Just finished Parks and Rec....


What now

 

Seriously?

Number one, depending on why it was issued a salvage title, it could be dangerous. Who knows what kind of damage may have been concealed, or occurred to the vehicle. Airbags may have been deployed. I've seen shady repair work done on salvage vehicles, like resistors in-line with airbag squibs, or duct-taped steering wheel pads, or just generally substandard repairs thrown together to get the vehicle back on the road.

Number two, you loose almost all resale value and good luck finding an insurance company that will insure a salvage title vehicle reasonably.

This is a topic of great debate, but I for one think buying a salvage title vehicle is a stupid idea.

 

Yeah an 85 is a 720 could be from anything with a z24 tho. What do need it

 

I don't trust them. For a reliable vehicle that I'd use for my business or transport my family in, I'm not buying a salvage. I know other people feel different about this, but that's me. I don't trust repairs done on a salvage vehicle.

 

I don't follow

 

You'll get over that one day

 

Breaking Bad

 

Just buy a salvage that hasn’t been fixed. Then fix it

 

Even if I do trust them, insuring them isn't cheap. And resale value is down the hole.

 

I'm good. I for one am not a salvage title vehicle person.

 

There goes the next three weeks of your life.

Watch Better Call Saul next. It's the Prequel.

 

It's usually cheaper to insure but Cali insurance assumes you're loaded already so they're probably penalizing you for driving a peasant vehicle, and resale doesn't matter cause you bought it cheap

 

Don’t boss me

 

IMO, I just feel it's detrimental in every way besides initial price to drive a salvage.

That's just me.

 

Doesn’t someone on here only buy salvage titles and fixes them?

 

Those Nissan 4cyl truck trans are stupid weak and I doubt anyone makes an adapter for that. Try with a more common trans like T5

 

That's @koditten

We've had this debate about Salvage titles before. I don't like them, but other people have different opinions.
