Default Re: salvage titles

I don't think that there would *normally* be any issue with theft recovery. If the car was stolen and then branded with a salvage title, then it means that the ins company paid the owners claim and then wrote the car off. There is one type of title that is out there, I cannot remember the name, but basically it is a no rebuilder type and you cannot get it registered, at least here in Louisiana.

I had a BMW Z3 that I bought for 4,500 with VERY light damage (basically a new bumper and bumper shock) and drove around while I fixed it. I did not have any trouble selling it.

Just make sure that it is a deal, and do not pay top dollar for it.

Just my .02,

Rich
