The extent of damage done to warrant the salvage would play a major role in the value of the car.

$10,000, after further thought I can't even see paying that. You could spend a little more and get a clean title vehicle.

If it has a salvage title the price should be very

Good advice would be forget it and look for a nice, clean-titled alternative. There are plenty of good, low mileage examples out there for bargain prices.

Some insurance companies will not cover comp and collision on a salvage title. The car is only worth what you can afford to lose in event of total loss.

Since this is just asking for comments on a vehicle price, this is being moved to C5 General for additional comments.

So which insurance companies not cover salvage vehicles? I've been around and haven't found one yet.

I have a salvage title 01 triple black vert. I did the rebuild many years ago, and have put about 20,000 miles on it since it was rebuilt. I insure through State Farm. I'll be driving it today. I would not part with it for 10,000. I also have a '14 (solid title) which I may trade for a C8.
