> [@cougarspeed](#): > > That is what willy was asking when he made the thread and I bumped it with my situation and thats not the case. I am simply asking if there is any reason I shouldnt buy the car. I know the owner and its history. Its a second vehicle for 10K cheaper then others im looking at. Its cleaner as well. my post was in ref to the OP. not your situation. You are in a rare occassion here. You know the car was fixed right. Most ppl dont. If you want it, hop on it. ---

I ended up buying a different car but man im telling you someone is going to get a sweet ass deal. I went and drove his car again and it is probably one of the most well maintained cars I have ever been in. I just didnt feel like dealing with the rebuilt title. I really hope he keeps it to be honest. ---

driving a rebuild salvage car doesn’t mean shit. i’ve fixed totals and my dad’s done it for 20 years. My cavalier was a total. U can have full collision on it. Willy check into who fixed it. and if its something that still worries you about the structral soundness take it to a body shop have them look it over. And if u have a hard time finding a shop to check it out for a reasonable price. PM me i know quite a few shops in the area that will prolly help ya out ---

my grandprix had a salvage title and was fully insured with collision/theft/fire blah blah blah, i would only buy a salvaged car from someone if i knew that person, because i know what they had into the car and i know it was fixed right. same goes for when selling the car, i had it for sale for like 4months and no one wanted to look at it because of the title, even tho it was a perfect car. i ended up selling it to a friend because he knew how well maintained the car was and then he ended up wrecking it 2months later :lol: poor car ☹ ---

> [@Viper966](#): > > be careful, some insurance companies/loan people, also dislike salvage vehicles Uhh … no insurance companies care (not that i have ever heard of at least). I’ve had 23 salvage cars and not once have a ran into a problem with insurance. Loans, thats a whole nother problem though. > [@joelster](#): > > If you plan on keeping the car for a long time, then do it. If you plan on selling it in a year or 2 don’t even bother with a salvage title, because people avoid them like the plague. Not really. I’ve been selling at least 2 a year for the past 5 years, and they’ve all sold within 2 weeks. Most people really don’t care as long as there is good documentation and it was fixed correctly. Just have them take it to a shop to look over if you are worried when selling. If you show them you arent sketchy or afraid of people inspecting it, you should be fine to sell it. > [@Janus](#): > > are there any insurence companies that will insure liability AND collision on a savlage title car? or are you doomed to liability only I have had full coverage with Geico and Allstate > [@Resurrected J](#): > > driving a rebuild salvage car doesn’t mean shit. i’ve fixed totals and my dad’s done it for 20 years.
