so i found a salvage s2000 and they guy is selling it for 13,500 it is an 01' yellow carbon fiber hood. 55k miles. car is mechanically sound but the seller has stated it is slavage because the interior was stolen, but he had replaced it. everything is fine but the damn thing is salvage. i know a lot of you are going to say ultimately it comes down to me. please put in some insight. thanks

 

Theres pro's and con's to it.

Personally, If your gonna sell the car later down the Road, you shouldn't but a car that's already salvaged because its going to be a bitch to sell it in the long road.

I myself, picked up a salvage titled s2k for dirrtty cheap due to theft recovery. Why?

Because i knew i was going to keep the car for a very very very very very long time

 

Bargain and get it cheeper so you can track it.

 

salvage cars also depreciate in value a lot more than regular cars right?

 

i rather get a high milage one with a clean title......

salvage titles

f that...... your buying someone else's head aches

correct.

 

Think about it. The car your looking at is about $13.5K. Cars that sale on clean titles go for about 18k+. You do the math

well i found one for a little bit more money but it has 110,000 miles on it. so it does not have warranty. doesn't that also mean it depreciates more in value also?

*** that man. Your telling me you would buy a car that has super high mileage Versus a car that has lower mileage, is hell of a lot cheaper, and was salavaged out due to theft? I don't know about that. That's not my cup of tea

 

I bought my 00 s2k for 14k, 77k miles, and clean title. Low ball his ***, and when you get it for dirt cheap, remember that if you want to sell you will get cut like the guy before you. You getting a loan on that?

The gayness is unbearable

get a high mile clean title instead, most salvage seller always make up story

Have the frame checked out by a reputable body shop, at the owner's expense.

 

i was in the same boat but waited. i looked at a 01 with salvaged title car had 45k miles for16k i was about to get it but a friend told me to wait. the next week i found another 01 same miles for 17.5k so just wait and spend a little more time and money it will be worth it in the long run a clean title is worthe the extra 4-5 k you will spend

well thats kind of tough because i live in boston and he's selling this car in san diego. the car looks fine it's salvage because interior was stolen, which he has replaced. it has a cf hood also, incase any of you have seen it.
well i found another one a lot closer to me for 15,500. he has tein cs suspension which he wants to remove before selling. i'm currentlt trying to bargain.

 

is it wrong to say dude? hmm

 

I would stay away and get something else.

 

my friend is selling a 00' with a blown motor for 10000 obo. its painted laguna blue with a molded j's racing front lip. it has a clean title. i think 13,500 is way to high for a salvage, and you dont know what kinda gremlins it has.

i checked out your buddy's car. i would have considered it but i think what i found is a better deal.
00' red 63k miles clean title- $16k
tein cs coilovers
act hdss 1000 miles on it
will also come with new extra 03' rotors and new pads
and full tune up on top of that. until anyone shows me better this is what im getting. neadless to say, he's driving 4hrs to bring it to me.

first off its a HONDA mileage doesnt mean dickballs. have you ever tried sellin a salvage titled car????????????? HUGE PAIN IN THE ***....you basically have to wait for a sucker to come and buy it.. unless im turning it into a full race car CLEAR TITLE is the way to go.... drink that TEA

 

due it if ur not going to sell it in the long run my 04 is salvage title.They also stoled the interior i got my car for $20k 04 rio yellow 13k miles

 

oh and i don't make up storie's believe or not i dont give a rats ***

 

here is my take on it. 13,500 IS kinda high for a Salvage. I bought my S2k 2 1/2 years ago for 17,500 and its a 00 clean title. So id say you can find a 00 for 15,000 and i have seen them for that cheap. Maybe you can talk him down to like 12,000. If you plan on keeping it for a long *** time i say why not? unless your gonna sell it soon id say hell no. My Ek i just picked up is a rebuild for theft and it came from my friend, he built it back up. Its a 2000, but that is a Civic and truely if i loose out reselling it it only cost me 1500.

 

I'm in the same boat as the OP. Found a 05 with 8k miles on it for 18k and seems like a killer deal. But not sure about it

Anyways I remember hearing somewhere that insurance companies offer full coverage for salavaged titled cars, anyone know for sure? I can't imagine driving one w/ just liablity

(sorry to thread jack a little)

depends on what company your goign with. If your with a reputable insurance company, that'll do it. If you with some bull shiet like freeway or eastwood, i don't think they cover salvaged vehicles
