Well, a neigbor selling an used salvage Honda CR-V. It has accient on back and title is salvage, but its fixed and drivable and still in good condition. Just wonder is it worth buy a salvage car? How much percentage less then Kelly blue book values on a salvage car?
 
I'd look at clean wholesale for statstical purposes, and offer half that. Salvage title/rebuildables are good for two things:

A: Driving the car into the ground
B: Washing the title through another state and reselling it as clean

Ask your bank,
many will not loan money to you for a vehicle with Salvag title.

wat's the kbb on it?
 
KKb trade in value is 9400 and i saw one sold at ebay 11000 on clean title. So, i think 7k will be okey.

I just know dealer will not accept any trade in on salvage titles.

I second the black book. Find out what kind of accident it was in & damage it took. Take the car in to a mechanic to have it look over specially the frame.

aligment....hmmm?

Alignment, mis the "N". They toll acceident on back, but car pull on right when drive on freeway at 80mph.

Salvage cuts the value a LOT. I definitely wouldn't do $8,000 on it. More like $4,000-6,000.

Yeah... i wish i can one for 6k and i have offered that w/o luck. 7k was my last offered.

Then tell them good luck finding another buyer and walk.
