Make sure you know what a Certificate of Destruction title is and what it entails.

raymort

Any info to share?

redmonkey928

Never allowed to be titled again, or legally driven on the road in simpler terms. Ie. at best it would be a track only car.

raymort

This is incorrect.

Looks like some bidders don’t want us bidding…

redmonkey928

Sorry but it is not, you are referencing a salvage title certificate. A certificate of destruction (or a junk title) is different and it cannot be retitled in any state. I also have ZERO interest in that car to be clear, just sharing there is a large different between a salvage title and certificate of destruction.

raymort

Ah. Ok. Sorry. I saw salvage somewhere.

redmonkey928

Yep, typically when damage is >80% of the value of the car a certificate of destruction, or total loss, is declared. Cant legally be titled for road use once that declaration is made on the car. Parts or scrap at that point, or in this case suppose it could live on the track and get trailed to and from.

What’s the benefit to the insurance company to do destruction vs salvage title?

raymort

Question is whether this is truly a destruction title.

It lists the car as automatic, but it is actually a MT.

redmonkey928

If I had to guess it is less about the car itself and more about future mitigation. The risk of damage is enough that it is easier to pull it off the road entirely and avoid future issues. Just my wild guess and two cents.
