People's thoughts on slavaged title cars ?? I or offered what looks like a pretty clean Evo 8 but its slavaged title with a new Evo 9 motor , frame looks straight hes asking 13,000-14 for it ?? Should this be a good idea

 

Salvage+Rebuilt title, maybe. 8 drivetrain, no

 

There's nothing wrong mechanically with a salvage titled car if the repairs are done completely and professionally.

 

He saids its running with the evo 9 engine computer and transfer case

 

That's what I thought doesn't it have to pass a check list to even get a slavaged title ??

 

Depending on what happened the insurance company will deem it a total loss. You can then either have them take it or negotiate to buy the car back and repair it. Normally the insurance company will deem a car a total loss if they calculate that the cost to repair is not worth what the car is worth. It doesn't necessarily mean that the car is junk, if it gets repaired correctly the state will then have to inspect it and give it a new rebuilt title.

 

it all depends. Where was it hit? how many miles are on chassie? does it drive 100% normal? If it has less then 35k on chassie and drives perfect i think 13-14k is fair.

 

Odm reads 95k miles on motor are 80k idk how he knows that but that's what he saids .

 

Id offer him 8-9k sounds really shady. I mean you can get a Evo clean title for 13-14k with almost the same mileage. id pass with this guy.

 

HAHAHA hell my EVO's only worth 8k if that and it has 100% Clean Title.

Salvage title, high millage mixed up parts. I wouldn't even entertain the seller with an offer IMO. But 5k-7k would be about it

 

Alright thanks that's what I was thinking price was high sucks there no blue book on slavage title cars

 

Lol good to know

 

Yea, I would give yourself some wiggle room for his mistakes when it comes to pricing. However if the guy is telling you it has a salvage title at least he is trying to be honest.

 

Well ya that's why I was wanting a little inside on what people thought . Cause ya your right he did tell me alot on the car . Some people don't even tell u anything .

 

This is what the motor looks like .
