It's certainly about numbers but you can't be forced to surrender your salvage as long as you own it and have the money to retain it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn’t make sense. That’s why I think they sell you pretty good with a payoff. I was floored. No argument from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a UVIP (used vehicle info pkg) up here and they need to be made available to the buyer from the seller. Many autos before, that were written off, were making it back on the road and many of those were proven to not be safe/road worthy. I am sure it still goes on but it would be at a far lesser degree than what it was before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used parts are unsafe and will kill you. in most cases i'd rather have oem used parts than a cheap aftermarket. I had zero issues with all the used OEM fenders and hood that went into the silverado after i crashed it. I've been searching for a fender and bumper cover for the boys Sportage in the right color since both need paint, then i can replace with hopefully just a polish. the other fender the PDR guy can do as the paints still good. i've given up on doing anything on the doors where the old lady ran something down it and hit her carport on the other side.

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted November 23, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Off topic somewhat but in Michigan what is the difference between a rebuilt title and a salvage title?

Guy who owns the bar here was a GM service manager a couple years back, he told Ken it was common for the Insurance companies to junk once the airbags go off because the whole dash needs to come apart, suppose he meant both airgags but not sure, I was just listening to them talk while I was having lunch. I could ask Jack (bar owner) if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends but I was making a joke because the repair industry is pushing a narrative used parts will kill you.

SVT MXZ XRS Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 They're probably going to total that. It's an old police Interceptor and I'm sure it's got a ton of miles on it. Probably not worth it to repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many new cars that get damaged off the line/while in transport are quickly discarded from all the big manu's so he purchases them at auction and rebuilds them. The damage is minimal, imo, but I guess some of the big manu's don't have the time to deal with them? I've seen practically new vehicles (low mileage) with cosmetic damage, (dented fenders, grills, headlights,etc) be purchased for practically peanuts then resold after he fixes them up. He makes good money at it but he has a ton of connections and has the skill/knowledge to rebuild them. so those oem wright off cars have never had a tilte issued? if that is the case do they have salvage title when he registers them ? I assume the big oem are self insured so can't see them getting flaged from tbere . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read that the rebuilt inspections are not thorough at all. Assuming it works the same as Ontario, a salvage title would be a vehicle that has been damaged and branded unfit to return to the road without under going structural and mechanical inspections. A Rebuilt title would be the same vehicle that has passed the structural and mechanical inspections. I own several Rebuilt titled vehicles. This was my Dodge I bought, branded salvage. This was after $12000 in body work and a structural and mechanical safety. Here, there are only a handful of shop qualified to perform the structural safety. You take him the vehicle and all your paperwork and photos showing what work you have done and where the parts all came from. He puts it on a special rack to perform measurements of frame and what not. If your all in spec and the workmanship is good, he sends off his approval and you go to the license office and get your new Rebuilt title. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
