Hey guys. A few months ago, I purchased an 00 S2K with 40k and a clear title for a hair over $20k. Upon registering the vehicle, the title came back as being salvage even though the previous owner claimed it was accident free with a clear title. what is my car worth with a salvage title? I need to get an idea before I sue this guy. Thanks again.

 

maybe around 10k-15k


good luck in court

 

Call your lawyer...and Good luck!

 

It depends on what reason it got salvaged. But 10k-15k region is about right.

Hope you get your money back

 

hmm if he said "accident free" he might've been correct. i believe they give salvage titles to stolen and recovered cars too, correct?

I can tell the car has been repainted...but it's a very good job and I can find no signs of any sort of damage to the car at all, electrical or otherwise. Is there anything I need to know before going to court? It was his responsibility to tell me the car was salvage when I asked, right?

 

Yes it was. I'm surprised the bank cleared the loan.

 

Does the title say "salvaged" ?

 

The title says "rebuilt" actually. The bank prolly wouldn't have cleared the loan, but with my credit being the way it is, I simply told them how much money I needed and signed the paperwork before picking up the check. They never actually put the title against the loan until a few months later.
