If it's salvaged, low mileage, and priced in 17-19k, that is very cheap and inexpensive.

its that cheap most of the time because of an accident and/or year00 or 01. And even then at that price it doesn't always sell like hotcakes, people dont really like to buy salvage titled cars at that high of a price.

Anything salvage will hurt its resale regardless of what caused it.

Not necessarily. Crash isnt the only reason for salvage. if someone steals the seats and rims(usuallyt he headlights, tail lights, dash too) insurance will salvage it. If you have access to the parts, or some one rebuilt a non hit theft salvaged car, it can be a good value imo.

***Edit...As far as resale, it hurts resale vs bluebook and market value. Should not hurt resale too vs what you pay as long as you arent paying market value for a clean title car.***

Not necessarily. Theft recovery/total losses are also salvaged titles.

it'll still be considered a salvage, and wont be easy to sell and insurance will be more than a non-salvage titled car, that's if you can insure it.

Aren't vehicles considered salvaged if just the guage cluster was stolen?

Basically it varries from state to state you just have to look out for frame damage and to be honest if you get and s2k why would you ever sell it anyway.

i know a lady who comes to my job where her insurance company wants to claim her car as a salvage and drop her from the insurance because her maxima keeps getting its headlights stolen off. this is like the 5th time it happend, and they just keep taking her headlights. so it could be just because of things like this
