Why would anyone want one? With so many cars with good titles available, only a fool would even look at a salvage car. Unless it is purchased for the fair SALVAGE price with the knowledge that it will be damn near impossible to unload regardless of how good it is made to look, forget about it. These cars are salvage because it costs more to repair them than they are worth once repaired. Even damaged cars which can be reclaimed are never really brought back to the good as new level. Sure they look good, but they are never exactly right. It is just not economically feasible. We are not talking about a rolled Ferrari GTO here which can justify a $500,000 repair invoice.
