Selling dealer says he doesn't know why the salvage title and no service records. Offered to me $30,500. Didn't like my offer of $18,500. If anybody can dig up old threads quickly, would be some interesting forensics. Hoi, it's like I need another 928 but a red GT to go with my black GT would be nice bookends.

That’s probably the universal standard for salvage titles. Myself, I deduct 50% if considering a value of a salvage title.

Well, if done correctly, you should be buying in at a discount so it's all relative. Not sure about Texas but most states distinguish between a salvage title and a reconstructed title.

What I recently found out about a salvage title versus a reconstructed title is that to the insurance company it doesn't matter. Once a vehicle is totaled, it will always cost an assload more to insure, regardless of what hoops you jump through reconstructing and retitling. I also found out that PA doesn't give a damn about salvage titling. You're not required to go to a salvage title just because your vehicle is totaled. The only reason you have to go to a salvage title is because the insurance company makes you get a salvage title before they'll cut you the check.

I've heard horror stories about not being able to get insurance, no one will finance, and generally its a bear to even sell again. The folks that I know that bought salvage title vehicles, knew the vehicles history (sometimes it was actually theirs and they bought it back from the insurance company after it was totaled) and were wanting to just keep and drive it into the ground, or for parts.

Mike - would love to see the Carfax on it. There was a red GT just like that in Pittsburgh a number of years back, being mistakenly marketed as an S4 by the dealer. He had it at the PVGP advertised as such. I tried to tell him it was a GT and worth thousands more, but he insisted he was right. I almost bought it myself (I should have, looking back on it). Anyway, I posted a note about it up here (which I can no longer find), and one of the MI crew promptly bought it. He then unfortunately totaled it about a week or so after getting it. It could be the same car?

Back to the car at hand......
Seems slightly high given the history but I like what I see otherwise.

I was frustrated for a bit. I had an ego rush and reminded them about what the data shows before and after April 2016, and they could at least do a brother a favor. But got quite a corporate response that the kind of car I was selling was not the kind of car they wanted. Which as you point out, is ironic and strange as a suggestion. I (sadly) just sold the car to mark and will focus on my other projects, but its irritating in an "injustice" sort of way.

I actually have a feeling its a bunch of hipsters, hence the stupid firetruck.

Saw this one on eBay. Don't know anything about it. The bungee cord on one of the undercarriage shots is odd, but the price seems low.

1. Clean
2. Salvage
3. Repaired Salvage
4. Junk or Totaled
A salvage car can only be turned to repaired salvage after an inspection, then it's treated like any other vehicle. I've owned a couple repaired salvage cars and my insurance company never cared, did not change my rates at all with State Farm.
Junk titles are always junk, means the car can never be titled for road use. They are parts cars.
I also found out that PA doesn't give a damn about salvage titling. You're not required to go to a salvage title just because your vehicle is totaled. The only reason you have to go to a salvage title is because the insurance company makes you get a salvage title before they'll cut you the check.
There really isn't any rhyme or reason behind a lot of this.
When our '80 hit a deer a few years ago, the repair cost exceeded most valuations. Damage wasn't severe but as we all know the small stuff adds up quick. The title and Carfax are clear, never even came up in conversation with the adjuster.
