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.
