Be aware that a salvaged vehicle may or may not be safe to drive. I'd take it to a darn good mechanic for a complete check over before I bought it. There have been cases of people welding the front half of one car to the back half of another and the car falling apart from just a slight hit. There are a lot of unscrupulus people out there. Buyer beware.

Well, it's salvaged because there was an accident where the cost to repair was more than the book value of the car.
If it STILL has a salvage title, you're not going to find an insurance company willing to put collision or comprehensive (physical damages) coverage on it.

If it is salvage, as far as I have heard, the only part of your coverage that may change is how much you will be paid if it is totaled by a claims adjuster. It will also have an impact on the amount of work that would be done on the car before it is "Totaled" again.

just be aware that if its totalled in an accident while you are the owner you will only get 40% of the value that make and model normally are. So if you MUST buy a salvage vehicle.. i hope your getting a really good deal.. b/c its not worth nearly as much as that model w/o a salvage title.

You probably will not get full coverage but most likely just liability. I would refrain from purchasing a salvage as you really don't get your money's worth. So hope you think long hard!
