Looking into buying a salvaged titled truck. Anyone know where to look for an estimated blue book value on salvaged titled vehicles? I assume to use [kbb.com](http://kbb.com) as a reference point.
thanks

You can expect the value to be right around %50 of what it should be.
Unless you plan on keeping it for a long time or get a great deal on it, stay away.

Look at it yestersday. Truck has a cracked exhaust manifold. If i decide to offer anything it will be way below his asking price.

I bought my 02 wrangler with 3200 miles on it for $10,900 after it was wrecked and rebuilt. If I ever sell it the salvage title is the last thing the new owner will worry about… the mountains,cars,creeks and ravines ive driven over/on/through on the other hand will…
it all depends what you want to do with the vehicle, but i dont think you’ll loose money, but you cant expect to fix it up and sell it for what a clean title would go for.

Bottom line
to buy and sell for profit=not a good idea
to buy and keep and drive the piss out of till you scrap it= hell ya
