That's probably true.

However the nice thing about a properly rebuilt salvage titled car is low payments and less worry of depreciation if you daily drive it. In some ways you can enjoy a salvaged car more since there is less to lose.
A low mileage garage queen is less likely to be daily driven and truly enjoyed.

Yeah I payed close to kbb as well. I bought my IXMR with 16, 000 miles on it for 24k. I thought it was a pretty good deal but thats partially due to the fact that the turbo was upgraded and there were other tastefull mods.

I chuckle anytime I see someone selling salvaged/rebuilt title cars for almost what it would be worth with a clean title.

That's true! Like what I said, it's best to keep the car of it's salvage. Just gotta spec it carefully.

Was it a clean title?

If so, I guess I'm selling my car for a fair price since KBB went up. And it has a clean title.

I'm asking for $20,500 for my 2005 EVO 8 MR edition with all leather, sunroof, lightly modded, and all... it has 37,500 miles... grey though!

price or

No. Recaro front and rear leather seats along with the sunroof are all original.

I always wonder why I don't see a lot of EVO 8 with the same features as mine.

Can somebody tell me why???

It's an MR... Vin # check on Carfax and anywhere else say it's an MR
