Default Salvage title loan?

Hey guys, I just ran across my previous Z06 in a salvage yard and it has totally upset me,lol. Anyways I would like to purchase the car back since the repairs doesn't seem that bad. Does anyone know where or how to get a loan for a salvaged vehicle other than just a personal loan or credit card?

There are banks that will finance salvage vehicles that are repaired, alot of local banks will do this. You will not find anyone who will finance a wrecked car, you would have to take out a personal loan/line of credit or other funds to buy it wrecked

I doubt that you can find a loan on a salvaged car.

Capital One Auto loan. Most banks will deal with you.

Check with your local bank and see what they say. Personally I'd just forget about it.

Unless you're going to make a track car out of it. Otherwise, start looking for a replacement while prices are down. Happy hunting!

Hi There,
If I were you I would forget that ideal.Repairs always seem minor.Once you get involved & actually see or can't see what it takes & costs to restore to original you could buy a better vette then you have now or do those mods you were thinking about.Bad investment & you'll have more headaches than 10 vette owners put together.

You got rid of it for a reason, why would you want it back especially now that it's damaged. Start running..
