You really want to try to find out WHY the salvage title was issued. Generally it indicates that the vehicle has been in a wreck and was damaged enough that an insurance co. decided to total it. If the damage was not terminal, and its been repaired well, they can be a good value but will never have the same resale or trade-in value. Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL |
