Robawesome posted:Is it only in certain states that you can drive a salvage title? I'm pretty sure once a car is totaled out it can't be registered and driven in Ontario (i'm pretty sure) In Ontario, a car with a salvage title cannot be driven or registered. You have to repair it, get it inspected, and then it's given a Rebuilt title.

Mighty Horse posted:After its already been retitled, the only other drawback is if the car gets wrecked, insurance companies will ALWAYS try to royally gently caress you on the value. Which is completely justifiable. The car at that point has already been paid off at least once and if you get into another wreck, there could be structural questions that arise from the first total loss.

We dont have safety inspections here in Connecticut either except for salvage titles so you should check for that in Minnesota if you do find a diamond in the rough.

A little bit more on the salvage / repair titles. This BC  information, but may cross over to other places. When a vehicle is "written off" by ICBC for whatever reason, it will be put into one of two categories before it heads to the auction. Salvage or Dismantle only. With salvage, you are able to fix the vehicle from whatever state it is in to the point where it will pass inspection. When you go to register the vehicle, it will have a "Repaired" status. Dismantle only is just as it sounds - It can only be sold for the use of parts or scrap. Strangely enough, you can cut up the good bits from DO cars and use them to repair salvage titles. Also, if your vehicle was stolen and not recovered within 30 days, but is recovered later the vehicle will be written off and be DO. I briefly worked for a shop that was located next to a recycler that bought only DO cars and cut them into non mangled bits for other shops to use to fix other written off vehicles. The worst part was seeing the flat deck roll by with new cars that had "BLOOD" written on the window.

These wheels showed up on craigslist a few weeks ago... So I called the guy up and asked when I could come see [read: probably buy] the wheels. He said that they were still on the car and that we could meet somewhere. I then asked why they were still on the car, and when could he have them ready for sale. I got a sketchy answer and ceased contact. Several days later I checked the listing again and he had dropped his asking price by $100. Guess why. craigslist posted:

Booblord Zagats posted:http://sierravista.craigslist.org/cto/2781590250.html  It's not a mustang, its a Dodge Charger. One of the 1980s ones that everyone forgot about, with good reason. Think of it as the Mustang II, w/o the rad vinyls. They made an OMNI GLS too. That one's collectible... this however, is a steaming turd with go-fast bits attached. Contrary to the seller's claims, it'll never be worth a lot, even when Carrol Shelby dies. No one is clamoring for these. rkl fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jan 13, 2012 |

Mighty Horse posted:It really depends on the car. I drive a "salvage" '02 Chrysler 300M "Special" This is so stupid and incorrect. I am in collision repair, as well as rebuilding salvage title cars for resale. My father has done it for more than 30 years and I have over 10 years experience. That is largely a myth since the early 90's in most places except larger cities. Most places that are honest (you almost have to be to stay in business) buy refurbished/aftermarket/repair damaged parts. I generally try to buy parts cars to fix the cars I buy. But I fix mostly fords so I always need for parts. Using stolen parts/cars/vins doesn't work as easily and smoothly as it used to apparently. I've never done it, but I've known about people who did that got caught. Don't just be a mouth breathing idiot, don't talk about poo poo you don't know anything about.

Whaaaaat? You've obviously never owned or gotten a ride in one of these. Now, nobody's arguing that Chrysler was pumpin' out anything special in the 80s, but these cars were the only decent thing to come out of the Pentastar in the dismal performance years of the 80s decade. This is the definition of sport compact, in fact, in an interview with Motor Trend not to long ago Carrol Shelby said the GLH was one of, if not the, favorite cars he'd produced over the years. The Turbo II 2.2L turbo 4 in this makes 174/175 stock, and with about $1000 in parts can be pushed well over 300. All the internals are forged so it has no problem with 15psi plus. Stock 1/4 mile time was right around 15, though the factory claimed 14.7. With Koni's at all 4 corners it can pull .88g on a skid pad. Collectable, maybe not, but there's an entire community of people scrambling to save these cars. I wish like hell I hadn't sold my '88 Daytona Shelby Z, it was a few hundred pounds heavier than the Charger GLHS, but that aforementioned $1000 of bolt-ons still brought a 13.3 1/4 on street tires, it was also fun as hell to drive. I also bought it for $500. That's the best part about these cars, they're cheap, they're quick and there's at least one in every junkyard in America, so parts are plentiful. I apologize for the diatribe, but drat do I love these cars. The little Omni GLHS outperforms a '66 Shelby GT350 Mustang in every way, and you can get one for about $95,000 less.

You're totally right. The Shelby Z was an object of unbridled lust in my high school years, immediately prior to the Honda sport compact scene really taking off. I remember one guy was super excited to be buying his Rampage, only to find out that it was in a farmers' field and had birds nesting in it. Other turbo K-cars were really popular because of local enthusiasts; I always just figured it was a regional thing as it seemed like those cars were damp squibs down in the North American trendsetter of "car culture," California. Even today there's a few terrifyingly fast turbo Caravans kicking around (and even one group of people who have swapped SRT4 drivetrains into more recent Caravans).

Yeah, that Charger is awesome and I wish I could buy it. If I could go out there and grab it, I'd give him $3500, no doubt about it. Oh and here's why people love Turbo Chryslers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAtudjCZ8xw
