salvage title

[Rifleman WI]

im currently looking at an 05 SRT-4 with 37k . the only problem is that it has a salvage title because it previously had bunch of things stolen out of it. The dash, center console, cd player, and I think seats, from what the dealership said. hes sposed to send me a full carfax on it. i saw pix of it, it looks like nothing happened to it. any thing to watch out for on a salvage title like this or is it not worth it? can it be registered and insured? they want $8K for it. ide only offer like 5 becuse of the title.. any input? thanks..:thumbsup

it can be registered and insured. only big problem with a salvage title vehicle is it REALLY hurts the resale.... if you ever wanted to sell it, as soon as someone realizes its a salvage, most tend to run the other way...

I have a little bit of experiance with salvage titles but dont have teh answers to all your questions im sure. Usually a salvage title comes when the car had something major f'ed up. In a bikes case it can be like a front end collision where all you had to do was replace teh front forks etc etc.. What you wrote down to me seems silly to get a salvage title but w/e. Anywho like 88 just stated only thing it hurts is the resale which honestly who really gives a shit considering its hurting it right now for you to get it :thumbsup As for insurance its fine. What most do is take their salavge titles and car/bike after fixed to the state patrol and get issued a salvage rebuild title. This is what happened in teh case of the Ducati 748 I picked up and insurance had no problems with that title. :)

seems kind of pricey for a salvaged title srt-4 to me. would think that you could spend not much more and get a clean titled one!?!?

offer them 5. :thumbsup

just make sure to look the thing over real nice. some guy hits a tree, so he decides to claim that the interior was stripped so the next guy that buys it has no idea. i would be cautious, but if it is legit, which it has to be somewhat to be at a franchised dealer, then go for it.

no it had intake, full exhaust, intake manifold, headers, msd.. but it burned alot of oil and i think it had low compression in the #8 cylender, and the backlash in the rear end was all messed up.. it howled and shook like crazy..fastest i had it was 14.9..

Update on the SRT-4-
the engine was also stolen originally.. so F that car.. ill have to keep looking...
