the big difference is that YOU had the repairs done. You saw how much damage there was initially; and I assume you had some control over how it was repaired. (Thorough and correct)
A car like such as the one here-- we do not know how much damage there was; nor do we know if it was repaired to a high standard. A lot of Salvage cars are hastily thrown together and given a nice coat of paint to sell ASAP. Usually there are corners cut because it is known the car will never be worth close to full retail.
Just my 2 cents.
My girlfriend went to university with a girl that always drove a nice, late model car ( Camry, Maxima,etc.) The cars always looked great, and drove like new. I did not find out until later that they were cars that her father bought from insurance companies and fixed for his family. He owned a paint/body shop. Therefore, he had control of the repairs and the quality of the work. He was also able to buy cars that he knew would be good candidates to repair.
