How much to pay for a salvage title Tacoma?

Looking at a 2013 tacoma long bed double cab, 4x4, 5k miles, stock tires, had very little rear left damage (had bad bumper and left fender and tail light the frame is good. Its all repaired professionally and looks just like new! How much should i pay for it he said make me an offer! Thanks guys

 

They would write it off for that little bit? Doubtful.
There's more to this story...

 

Grab the vin so you can look into the extent of the damage would be a starting point.

 

I will get the vin checked.. But around what you guys thinking?

 

No more than 15k

 

<75% of what it would otherwise be worth.
When someone asks you to make an offer remember you can always raise your offer but you can't lower it! Go for something a bit lower than what you'd like to pay and see what happens.

 

^^^^^^^^^^ These

For an insurance company to total the truck, the damage has to be pushing 70-80% of the value.
You're talking a 2013 $35,000 truck. It had well over $20k in damage.
That's a LOT more than the bumper and bedsides.
There are a LOT of salvage vehicles out there that have been flooded. Even if they run now, they will be electrical nightmares in short order.

To answer your question, I would not pay ANYTHING for a salvage title truck, unless my intent was to completely gut it and build a crawler.
Some insurance companies won't cover them, and if it's from out of state, you may have trouble getting it titled in your state.

 

He wanted $29000 but I told him $27000.

 

FOR 27K GO BUY A NEW TRUCK.

 

You guys scare me with salvage titles to me salvage title doesn't me noting for real. I owned 9 salvage title cars they run perfect!!! If they are repaired right I see noting wrong with them you won't even tell a difference between a clean title car!

He's really looking to rip you off big time.

Even 27k is about 15k too high to even consider.

 

New $35000 and its like new just salvaged rides perfect! Usually a salve title car the price goes down just couple grand! No way anywhere u will buy a 2013 salvaged perfect condition for $20000!

 

They go on auctions for only $18000-20000 damaged!

 

Seriously though with 27k you can get a 2013 used with maybe 5,000 more miles, clean title and probably a warranty lol

The thing about a salvage, is it is not perfect condition.

 

wut

 

He said "happy birthday"

 

Does Toyota still warranty a salvaged truck? Its your money, but i would want at least 25% off clean title. 22k.

 

I can't find a 2013 Tacoma clean title in my area!! Cheapest is $30000 how about $25000?
